mrsbrownLucky me, I got to do a site visit to the flats nearby this morning. I got to sleep in, go for a wander around my neighborhood, pickup my laptop from where it was getting fixed and then do the walk along Victoria St I do occasionally.
I don't often have any reason to walk the full length of the shopping strip - why walk past 2 butchers you know are adequate to get to a thrid or fourth?
Discoveries!!! I found a kitchen supply shop near Church st that has dragon and lobster shaped biscuit cutters. I looked for lions but didn' t find any. They also had those stainless steel sauce bowls on stands that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sjkasabi suggested would make really good sauce bowls for medieval feasts. I've been lookijg for those for almost a year! I didn't buy anything, I'm writing this so I don't forget.
I also found what looks like the best fruit and veg shop in the street, and the butcher down there looks really good too. Maybe it is worth walking past the 4 or 5 butchers and veg shops to get to these really nice looking shops. At least I know they're there now. I think I'll be able to buy reasonable apples at the furthest fruit and veg shop - no mean feat in Victoria St.
Next is getting crap together for KWDS and then I will virtuously get to work.
Oh yeah - I pulled a muscle in my back the other day and the site visit I did last night has improved it dramatically. I took the lift to the top of one of the 20 storey flats and walked every floor and the stairs all the way to the bottom. It took me about 70min and I felt fantastic when I finished. I think I should make more space for this exercise thing in my life Maybe I could manage the walk home from work again.
