Exercising a schedule similar to the past several trips to Sri Lanka, the first full day in Nugegoda was shopping day for the sisters, Jay, and me.
We hit the House of Fashion, No Limit, Fashion Bug. This trip didn’t produce as much booty as in past years. I bought some underwear as the real designer labels sell for prices of ordinary Wal-mart clothing at home. Unfortunately, I always forget that the sizes are not designed for the North American market. Therefore, if I want M, I need to select XL. I forgot that.
We ate lunch, continuing with these new traditions, at Devon Restaurant and Bakery. Before heading home we did find something larger to buy. We got an good quality, Indian-brand food processor for the house in Minuwangoda. It has all sorts of stainless steel attachments.
I’m typing this while looking out into the little driveway / garden this evening. Bird watching is as fun here as out in the jungles near Jay’s house. It seems that most households produce waste food but none of it goes to waste as the birds and animals are fed. There are several feeding platforms in the yard and a little tub of tiny seeds for smaller visitors. Last night we even cut up some browning bananas for cute little fruit bats. A mongoose stopped by for a short visit but was a pretty shy fellow.
