We take a walk to Lidl, not very far really to the north of us. It's overcast and windy but the wind is a warm one, though strong enough we can see the umbrellas would be useless. Lidl will be a useful addition to the food sources, with pretty good prices on many things - e.g. young but drinkable Italian wine on offer at one and a half litres for a euro, and prices for chocolate much better than average local ones. Though some other things are not especially cheap. On the whole there is less variety than in the other supermarkets, though there are odd additions, like quilted vests and hubcaps.

Down in the lobby with the netbook - grateful for the wifi - and note the current temperature in Sioux Lookout. It's -29!
