Woking Store Fire Sale
So we decide to stop by the D.I.Y. store on the way to the newsagents to see what shelves and home improvements we can add to our flat. On the way there, we notice the suspicious presence of police, road blocks, backed up traffic, empty streets with large hoses stretched across them, fire trucks, sniff sniff - yes that's the small of smoke, and a low flying news helecopter.

Turns out the D.I.Y store just burned down. Word of the street is that two vans were driven into the back of the store and one of them exploded inside. The roof's caved in and the mega-store as well as the one next to it will be knocked down. Rumours that a gas main was about to explode sadly turned out to be false. (Would have made a great picture...)

Good thing we moved in last week. Extra good, actually as Elisabeth's company car that we used to move us broke down a few days ago. More good news is that we've found a store that sells proper pita bread (Paving the way for the return of the fabeled Pita Pizza) and authentic curry powder for only a few pence.

So that's about it - read the paper, grilled cheese, onion & tomato sandwiches. We missed the local mosque's open house but listened to the call to prayers from inside our flat. We'll get more pictures up later today.
