今日はバイトのない日。昼、果物を買いにマーケットに行く。野菜や果物はスーパーで買うより、ここの市場で
買ったほうが断然安い。何店か見歩いてみると、大体今日の相場というものが見えてくる。今日は、みかんは
2lbsで50ペンス(前は3ポンドで50ペンスだったが)、バナナは1lbsで20ペンス、とうもろこしは4本で£1、
といった感じた。果物はまとめ買いしても、充分食べきれるが、人参やジャガイモはあんまり買っても腐らせて
しまうので、スーパーで1本か2本バラで買うことにしている。
最近、大分秋らしくなってきた。大学前の噴水で水浴びをしていたハトが、いささか寒そうに見える。
I had a day
off from work today. At lunch time, went to the market to buy
some fruits. It's definitely
cheaper to buy
vegetables and fruits at the market than to buy them at
supermarkets. Hopping from
shop to shop, I
started to see the going rate for today - 2lbs of satsumas for 50p
(last week was
3lbs for 50p),
1lbs of bananas for 20p, 4 sweetcorns for a pound and such. I
didn't buy any veggies today,
I usually buy
them at supermarkets for fear of making them rot, which do happens
to me quite often.
It's starting
feel like autumn these day. There were pigeons bathing at the
fountain infront of Uni,
but they all
looked rather cold...
