didn't sleep as goood as i hoped for last night but it was still a good day, pretty chill actually. we woke up, took time to eat, and went grocery shopping.

we saw what our surroundings looked like in the daylight and it's very cute, some houses are decorated for Halloween and that's so fun.
then we went grocery shopping. i love grocery shopping in different a country to see what people eat the most and how stores are organized compared to France. so here i am, about to tell you what i've seen and observed so far. we went to Tesco and Dunnes Stores, one Tesco and two Dunnes. Tesco was more messy, the aisle organisation didn't seem to make sense in the sens that there was random things put at random places, besides fruits, vegetables and stuff like that. maybe that's because i'm not used to it so it doesn't seem logical to me but yea?? we preferred Dunnes (at least i did) because it made more sens. i've noticed that they had an enormous amount a meat, the aisle meat was not just one aisle, it was two full aisle of meat. and, for the most part, it was turkey and chicken. we struggled to find lardons and actually we've only found one kind of lardons and it was in a prestigious packaging, saying the meat had been carefully smoked, etc???? like wtf. we have so many different brands that sell lardons in France that it was weird to me because we looked for them for quite some time. we still have not found compote de pommes either, idk what to do, i gotta admit i'm confused.
when we were done getting groceries, we got donuts for dessert and, god, i think 𝒾 𝒻𝑒𝓁𝓁 𝒾𝓃 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 ꨄ︎ with the cashier. she was so nice, so beautiful and she gave us time to choose our donnuts without pressuring us. we had a nice interaction. nothing about her was stressful or mean, she was so cool. she also complimented my sister's nails and mine, saying she loved the nails. she actually made our day. love her.
after that, we got home, ate lunch (chicken breasts, soya creme, mushrooms and pesto). my sister took a nap while i started writing this article, vlogging, drinking coffee and working.
when she woke up, we went to eat outside, there was a beautiful sunset, pinky and orangey. i love autumn and winter for these kind of sunset. we were early for our reservation so we stoped at Nana's Tea where my sister got a Bubble Tea (she's addicted i fear). she took the strawberry snowball (i think that's the name of the drink), she took less sugar, popping boba pearls and no cream, it was actually verry good though i would have liked it better with the tappioca pearls. after this, we ate at Mama Yo in Dublin, it was sooooo good. i took a hot and spicy soup with mushrooms and rice with vegetables. the vegetables and rice was supposed to be a "side" but there was so much that i didn't finish it and asked for a doggie bag meaning tomorrow morning i'll get to eat it for breakfast i'm so excited for tomorrow. see ya;)
