Things Bought

Shona talks about the items she recently bought on a shopping trip.

Todd: OK, so Shona, what did you do this morning?

Shona: This morning? So far today, I went to the supermarket and bought some muesli. Had my breakfast, which was the first muesli I've had in a few weeks, so I was quite enjoying that, and then I went to Ikea of all places and done a spot of shopping and bought like a really cool cushion with embroidered birds on it, and then I went for a jog like just recently, and I've been cleaning my room also.

Todd: OK, pretty busy day. So let's go back to the muesli. Now for people that don't know muesli, what is muesli?

Shona: Muesli consists of pieces of oat and dried fruits and also like flakes of corn and it's just a bit of mixture of these things.

Todd: Now, you eat it with milk?

Shona: Yeah, you have it with milk, or some people who are a bit crazy have it with orange juice.

Todd: Get out of here. Seriously?

Shona: No, they do, yeah, orange juice. Orange juice in their muesli.

Todd: Is that like for vegetarians and vegans?

Shona: No, I think it's just people enjoy the taste of orange juice and muesli. Or maybe they're allergic to milk.

Todd: Oh, could be. Could be. Actually, you said you went to a furniture store.

Shona: Yeah, there is like a big one.

Todd: Ah, so what did you buy?

Shona: I bought a massive cushion, pillow thing, which is all embroidered. It's very cute and I also bought, like a bed cover for my bed. It's orange, and I was looking for some ferry lights actually, but they didn't seem to have any so I was a bit disappointed by that.

Todd: I'm sorry. What?

Shona: Ferry lights.

Todd: I don't know what that is.

Shona: It's like a really long strand of wire and it's just got lots of tiny lights of it, like randomly, so you've have saw them like Christmas tree lights.

Todd: Ah, right.

Shona: You have them on your Christmas tree. I kind of like them. I just like them in my room.

Todd: Well, that's pretty cool.

Shona: Yeah. And also some, cause they have like Swedish food there, so I bought some crisp bread as well.

Todd: Oh, cool. This is Ikea.

Shona: Mm-hm. Ikea.
