Odds and Ends

This woman displays a common practice among crafty hijabi ladies - cell phone held by head scarf to allow free hands. Students on AUC campus do this and look slightly less crazy than headphone-wearing folks who seem to talk to themselves. At least this way the phone is visible to all. But how do you hang up?

The Roommate, Number 2 and I spotted the lady in the check-out line at Spinneys, where I also purchased:

Cockybuster! Once I figure out how to use it, I look forward to my cockroach problems vanishing before my very eyes. The instructions say:
Mix a certain amount of powder with sufficient amount of water with stirring
till the mixture gives homogenous paste. Cut the paste to small pieces in the
size of bills. By fingers take pieces and pressure them till it stick in places
where cockroaches are possibly present.

I bought some raisins at Spinneys and got my very own nut sack from the nut and fruits stand. Thusly have I added delectation to my life.

Here is another view of the check-out line at Spinneys. I had plenty of time in line to muck about. I like the flirtatous look shared between this gal and the young dude. Hey, cutie, meet me by the Chips & Crisps.
