just doing what i was told!

so we are getting a new car, was not supposed to be ready until the end of the month, but got a msg yesterday that it'll be ready this sunday(yes,slap-bang in the middle of the long weekend!)
we half-filled the tank on sunday, but even still had more than a quater of a tank left after my trip to the pils and playgroup yesterday, so J said i should go shopping to use up the petrol, and who am I to say no to that? so K and I had a lovely afternoon out shopping! We hit a shopping centre about 30mins away, that has a Babies r us. I was looking for a shade cover for the stroller, as was apparently every man, woman & child in a 200km radius- all stock sold out, so we came back with just a few odds and ends. k fell asleep on way home, so we are now sitting in the car at our carpark (abt 250m from our place) with aircon on of course waiting for sleeping beauty to awake!
three things I noticed in this photo:
1) my keitai is the same colour as the car! not for long though- the new car is metallic violet (sounds like a rock band!)
2)the chopstick holding the mirror in place! necessary after J had a prang with a pole in the carpark at the supermarket a few mounths ago
3) the bike. J said he sometimes sees the people who park either side of us arrive by bicycle to take their car out. I cant even imagine trying to explain THAT one to people at home!
