Lots of groceries and two new Sodastream bottles. Kayleigh gets the purple one, I get the green one.
Did I already ask you about the soda stream? I tend to repeat myself. Wondering if you like it. I've been contemplating the last few years if it's worth it, like would it save money.

Yeah you mentioned it a while back miss K, but I don't know if Ren saw.

What are they like Ren? taste wise? I have tried one before, but that was in my first spazz school, one of the staff had one and I was at her place a few times, seem to remember liking it, but more than that I can't recall.

Hm....wonder if I could adapt one into a catalytic hydrogenator.....

Soda Stream was a big deal when I was a kid. W're talking nearly half a century ago. I remember it being heavily advertised on TV. We had one, I think my grandmother bought it for us, but my family never bought refills for it.

How did it taste? Well it was sweet and fizzy and tasted pretty good to me as a kid.

A friend of my best friends mom had one it was so cool. I wanted one so badly. I was 15 and addicted to sodas. Ohhh it was heaven.

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

We've had our Sodastream machine for about 4 years I think. Now they have fancy stainless steel ones. Ours is just red plastic, heh.

I use it mostly when I'm running out of cans of drink, mostly just before pay day. Yesterday I bought two bottles of orange and mango zero (no sugar). Bloody delicious. I also get ginger beer zero as well. Lemonade and ginger ale are nice too. The cola is not my favourite, I'd prefer to drink water. Kayleigh loves her raspberry, lemon and lime flavours the most.

The machine is really easy to use. That's the main cost upfront. Plus the gas bottles - they last ages though. We swap the empties and pay for new ones at Big W or Kmart.

I usually buy the cheapest laptop I can get my hands on. I'm lucky to get 3 years out of one.

I've always wanted to go. When I was 20, I was on this pen pal list and struck up a letter exchange with a guy from Prague. Almost 24 years later and we've never lost touch.

Today I bought my dog a clean bill of health. She did the get healthy part and I did the pay a bill for being told she's healthy  :P

It's a fabulous city. I've been there every year for the last ten years or so and never get tired of it. :)
