Grocery getter and the maid.....

First the grocery getter!  Some of the real big grocery stores in Kuwait are located in shopping malls.  The malls are typically bigger than the ones you are use to.  When you go in the mall you go up and down escalators that do not have steps.... they are kind of like moving sidewalks that go up and down.  Next you see full grocery carts coming out of the store and you see kids heading to the escalator with them.  First thing I am kindling of freaking out thinking I better go catch this little boy with the full grocery getter before it takes off down the moving sidewalk and runs over someone..... as it turns out the grocery getters have special wheels in Kuwait; rails built on them with extremely strong magnets.  Genius move!

Tonight I decided to let the maid do some cleaning.  First the bedroom furniture that I purchased this week was scrubbed down clean and readied for some new stain.  Next laundry was going.  Next the newly purchased vacuum was put to use and all the floors were cleaned and ready for mopping.  Next out came the new mop bucket, hot water, cleaning solution and the new mop.  All tile floor in the flat but the newly purchased Turkish rug in the middle of the living room.  At this time I have no living room furniture really, no television, no dining table, etc as I am waiting to catch deals!  So the mopping was begun and boy it smelled much better!  About 80% of the way through the mop bucket tipped over and the fastest mopping you have ever witnessed was put in motion!  The maid was pretty bad at mopping... of course that be me!  Think I might have to get a new maid soon!
