Day after Fiesta

Supermarket shopping is never fun, especially in Mercadonna  the day after a Fiesta,  Spain's  equivalent to a Bank Holiday.  They have one a month  for religious festivals  or  just  so they can close down and no one work.

The Mercadonna  day after  a holiday  and in mid August  is bedlam.  Short , slow  Spanish shoppers  talking  gossiping  blocking aisles.  Fortunately they are Hobbit stature  so  I can lean over them  and ignore their ignornace  about being in the way.

Food and drink  is cheap in Spain.   I don't need hot food or drink, the climate is hot enough.  So I barge my way round the store  , taking no Spanish prisoners, who would want them anyway, they are of zero use,  Peasants  most of them.
