I keep making this mistake week after week. As I don’t really like doing grocery shopping I try to postpone it all Saturday. Then I finally pull myself together ½ hour before the shops close. At this time, our local Netto looks like a Russian supermarket. Or I should say Soviet one, as today in Russia you can buy everything, people just don’t have money. In Soviet time people didn’t have money, and there was nothing to buy, this was without doubt more logic.
In lack of any other food I go to the shell with dog and cat food (there is always plenty of that as I live in the country side where people keep cows and pigs, not cats and dogs), and then fill the rest of the cart with unnecessary “Spot of the week” offers. When I finally make it to the cashier, I try to be funny and ask if I can pay with "rubles". The cashier doesn’t understand my question and says “What” (Danes are as impolite as Finns and the use of “Excuse-me” is quite seldom). I repeat my question, and the cashier is now thinking about calling the security. Then she remembers that the security goes home at 11.00 am when they run out of items to sell (and therefore there is nothing left to steal, ergo no need for security).

At home my husband wonders about the guidebook to Milano I have bought in lack of food. Well, I am in fact planning a trip to Milano with a friend of mine, as an incentive when we both have lost weight and are back to our 50 something kilos. My husband comments that the Duomo will probably not stand as long as the pyramids.
