We woke up to snow today. There was just a light dusting when we got up but between 9 and 12 the snow was coming down fast. The flakes were big and fluffy. I showed Ellie how to catch them on her tongue. She thought that was the neatest idea. We both walked to the train station with our tongues out and the Swedes looking at us like we had lost our mind.
Ellie and I set off in search of a new pet store today. We need to get an automatic feeder for her fish tank in preparation for our trip this week. We didn’t buy it when we bought the fish because it was 500 SEK (about $70 dollars) and we were trying to spread out the cost. This weekend we got a flyer in the mail advertising the same feeder for 198 SEK ($30 US dollars). So we were off to find this other pet store. After wandering around and not finding it at one of the listed addresses, Ellie and I stopped for a quick lunch. During lunch I discovered I had the address wrong. On our way back to the train station, Ellie and I stumbled upon a hobby shop. What a great find! Cotton fabric, yarn and knitting supplies, scrapbooking supplies, and kids’ crafts -what more could we ask for in one store. It reminded me of a Jo-Ann’s or Michaels without the decorating items.
After browsing that store, we headed to the fish store. Ellie loved that they had green, pink and blue gravel in the tanks. Now she is on a campaign to be able to change her gravel color out occasionally. We were able to find the feeder at the cheaper price and the store is much closer to the apartment.
