So Joseph and I are starting to juice more often. We just bought a HUGE bag of carrots, like almost 20 kilos, to juice along with other vegetables. Hopefully, we will become more energized! We are like two cuddly koala bears right now, and with the wedding three months away, we need zapped with something to get us moving!
Carrots are about the same price here, unless you buy organic, then they get very pricey. Eggs are insane, if free range and organic, too. It makes you want to have your own farm and garden here. Bananas are, due to the floods, about $2 each!
Our mechanic, Joe, gave Joseph some fish he had caught yesterday, and so we had red snapper with veggies for dinner. It was EXTREMELY wonderful. Joseph had given him a huge bag of mushrooms he had found at his mother's while mowing the lawn last week, so they exchanged. I like it when people do that! No money involved, just balancing out the wealth of product...
I thought I might also add here, just for fun, some different phrases people use here, or words, we just don't often or ever use in Indiana...
Fair Dinkum (authentic, honest, true ) i.e. Fair Dinkum Prices on whatever.....
A fair go (a chance)
Bloke (guy)
With a top of.... (With a high of 70 degrees today...)
Give Way (yield) as in our road signs....
No worries (you're welcome)- they never seem to say your welcome....like, never!
She'll be right... (It'll be ok)
Bikkie ( a cookie.. as they call them biscuits here)
Brekkie (Breakfast)
A dropkick or a wanker, as Joseph says ( a no-good loser)
That's enough for now. :o)
Blessings to the good ol' USA! Bye!
