What a day Máire and I have gone and used Dunnes Stores vouchers for the North of Disko II expedition. We headed off at 9.15am this morning and finally finished grocery shopping at 2pm. First we headed to Cregmore to collect 30doz of the finest Galway Free Range eggs. The crew will certainly enjoy the pancakes, omelettes, boiled eggs etc they intend to make on the journey. A big thank you to Galway Free Range Eggs for their food sponsorship.
We then made our way to Dunne Stores, Terryland Galway with the vouchers. We had two trolleys, a long list of food items, pencil, calculator so as not to overspend and a lot of energy and enthusiasm. We would like to thank the staff for their help especially with the "Smash" and for assistance with packing and transferring the boxes from the trolley into Máire's van. We also made a few friends at the till as people were wondering why we needed so much food particularly the "Ryvita". So Máire explained about the arctic expedition and gave them details of the website. It was great to see that people are curious and take an interest in the world around them.
I now feel tired and wonder how I am going to face doing my own shopping tomorrow????? Never mind tomorrow is a new day!!!!
