My New Best Friend!
From Michelle, Revoluntionized in Rotterdam...
So, a while back as you all know - because I went on and on and on about it in detail and at length - some horrible, thieving, nasty, bad person with a pair of metal cutters ruthlessly stole my Brenda!
I was desolate. I was gutted. Misery was my middle name. Oh, but Brenda was so much more than just a, you know, inanimate metal and rubber bicycle. She was my Lifeline, my Best Friend, My Compadre. My Supermarket Helper. Sniffle. Yes, I know it is silly to get sentimental about insentient things, but you know what Brenda's loss also meant, don't you?
It meant that every single bit of shopping arriving in my apartment now had to be procured on foot and carried home by hand, instead of by bike and in saddlebags. To be specific, on my foot and by my hand.
And because the Dutch are generally tall and I am not, this has involved dragging home heavy, extra large and extra long supermarket bags that have to be held up at an elbow/wrist ratio of nearly ninety degrees because if I were to let my arms relax the bags would trail along the ground and something breakable would get, um, broken. Not a pretty sight, I can tell you.
Well, no more!
I now have Dolly The Shopping Trolly! My Two-Wheel, Twelve-Dollar Shopping Marvel! Heaven in the form of a large plastic wheely carrier with a pull-along handle.
Yes, I can now procure more than one day's worth of provisons in one trip to the supermarket. I can now comfortably wheel home twice what I could carry and not have to worry about floor-dragging supermarket bags. My life is now complete!
Yes!

I can't imagine, Michelle! Especially since I just bought two weeks worth of groceries at the store yesterday. It took an entire mini-van to hold them! Even a shopping caddy couldn't cope.
Although, when I was a single girl, I used to have to walk to the grocery store and back. Of course, I was single and one bag coupld pretty much handle it. LOL

OMG, two weeks' worth of groceries in one go! Sounds like heaven, Cate, LOL!
Michelle, really happy to do two days' worth in one go at the moment with my lovely Dolly Trolly :-)
