Brief winter seems well and truly over. Short sleeve shirt weather now - and head for the shady side of the street.
Over to Smart to see what the procedure is re our draw ticket. There are actually two Smart stores side by side, one that has mainly non-perishable food - coffee, tinned veg, pasta, cereal, nuts, dried fruit, olive oil, etc - as well as things like shampoo and toothpaste, and the other a sort of dry goods cum general store place with pots and pans, towels, light bulbs, candles, toys, and such. They're both discounters with prices usually, but not always, better than the supermarkets. The dry goods place is much less busy and one of the two women working there speaks very good English. Yes, just use it as a voucher. No cash back but you can ask for things from the dry goods store to be taken over and rung up with your order. Then use the ticket to pay. Rather exciting, and requires a little thought first. We're only here for a couple of months so no point in stashing away enough tins for a siege. Still less point in acquiring heavy things to take with us when we leave. The young assistant is gratifyingly pleased for us, saying Bravo.
