14 May- Shopping

This morning we took out the trash. I texted with Francesca, asking where we were supposed to take it. Easy answer- on the next block there are a bunch of bins- recyclables of all kinds, organic trash, and other stuff. We did all that, then walked to the little shop down the block for some fruit and biscuits.

Wayne hates Italian TV. I like it, because it helps me with the language - but "happy spouse, happy house." (I made that up- but others might have as well.)

I found an electronics store, Euronics, that is sort of a smaller Best Buy. I checked the website and they had a USB C to HDMI cable that I hoped would let me mirror Netflix and YouTube.

I used my handy at bus app, and entered the address incorrectly, but it was ok- I just had to walk a little longer once I got off the bus. When I finally got to the store, I was gobsmacked. It was in an entire life-sized, multi-level shopping mall, with not only the Euronics, but a Co-op supermarket- like Wegmans on steroids. And H&M, and a second level of stores that I didn't even look at.

I got the cable, then did a little more grocery shopping. Luckily, I knew I'd have to carry everything, so didn't get too much. They have self-service dog food. Who knew?

I found a bus back- the first one was so packed they couldn't close the door, so I got out. The next one was pretty full, but worked out well, and I discovered another stop near our place.

The cable works! It was acting up at first, but then I realized that the case on my phone prevented the plug from inserting completely. So, problem solved, and after playing with phone settings, we watched a couple of episodes of Seven Dials- Agatha Christie .
