A visit to the local sweet shop

As my readership knows, the local sweet shop, which I adore, is going to close in September, so imminently. I love sweet shops in general and this sweet shop in particular, because of the quality of their products (they make one of the best fudge I ever ate) and because the staff is so warm and friendly, as a sweet shops staff should be. Its closing is very bad news for the town, I genuinely think it lose some of its warmt and friendliness. So I went to the local sweet shop this afternoon. I bought the usual cream fudge, also liquorice, some lucky dips and chocolate. It will not be enough to keep them in business, but I will have enjoy their sweets before they close down.

Se payer la traite

C'est vendredi et j'ai eu une journée épuisante, alors ce soir je me paye la traite. J'ai décidé de suivre le conseil de Cynthia de Sur un Boeing Bleu de Mer) donné ici et de me bourrer la fraise. Au moment où j'écris ces lignes, je mange de la réglisse achetée au magasin de friandises local. Elle est un peu sèche, mais elle est quand même très mangeable. Et j'écoute du Cat Stevens. Le bonheur. Je compte me payer la traite pendant toute la fin de semaine, je ne sais pas trop encore comment, mais je compte me payer la traite. Alors les suggestions sont bienvenues.

Liquorice

I am warning you, this post is completely trivial, compared to the previous ones this month. I am now a regular customer of the local sweet shop. It is usually my fudge provider, but I do buy other things from time to time. This week, I bought some liquorice candies. I am not the biggest fan of liquorice, I used to have pipe shaped ones when I was a kid, but that never was my favourite dessert. Still, it is nice to get the old-fashioned flavours from time to time. Because there is something I find ancient about the taste of liquorice, I don't know why.
