Can't have your salmon and eat it too!

We went on our first shopping trip to a major supermarket, Arpico. It's kind of like the Carrefour of Sri Lanka. It's much better stocked than John Keells and that made me ridiculously happy. Found Masoor Dal and Peanut butter which I couldn't find at Keell's. We also bought most of the items from my daughter's huge school stationery list. The fish section looked largely unknown. I asked around what the other expats I met here eat, and have been told of Seer Fish, so will be trying that in the future. Am missing the salmon we ate frequently earlier! Oh, well, that's life. Can't have your salmon and eat it too!

Putting daughter in to school this early after arriving here, has meant we have been quite stressed out this week. The first week was incredibly stressful with the apartment, bank and school admission. This week, we've been trying to deal with our new early waking up time of 6.am!

Tomorrow I'll have to skip a formal dinner we've been invited to. We have no-one to leave daughter with, so... Hubby will have to go though. I really do not like not going to the few formal dinners I get invited to!

Will sign off now.. bedtime!
