Shopping in and around Llandudno

Today promised some showers, so we hit the town and drove into Llandudno. We located a car park in a parking building in the Victoria Centre, which turned out to be a flash Victorian-style shopping centre. By the time we had done that and ventured outside, the weather had worsened to light rain, but we walked on looking at a few more shops. Then we took a break in a cafe. The showers continued, but we did some more walking.

Tricia stumbled upon a Pandora shop, so we continued her tradition of buying a charm that reflected the area on her bracelet. We eventually made it back to the car - picking up a vegan version of bara brith ( a Welsh fruit loaf).

We then set off to buy Tricia another present (mine too). I had looked at prices for a new Chromebook to replace Tricia's older model, which has been acting up recently. The up-market ones are not available in NZ, but the big electronics chain here (Currys) was advertising the latest Chromebook Plus models with some good deals. We located the shop and found a salesperson (who actually had some knowledge) and ended up with a Lenovo Flex 5 (Intel I3, 8GB memory, 256 GB SSD) with a good quality touchscreen display. The higher end for a Chromebook. I got it back to the house and had it all up and running very quickly. Great system. The only downside is that it runs a UK keyboard, which is handy if I need to key in UK currency.

To finish the shopping, we took a late afternoon walk to the nearest (1.5km) supermarket (Lidl) and bought more food.Baca lagi
