Note: I am still working on writing up day three of my holiday. I’m about halfway done plus the photos to do. Just decided to add a totally trivial post in the meantime. :D

The weekend before my birthday, I rode my bike to a couple of local shopping centres to buy a few things. While in the one shopping centre, I noticed a sign at the Jester’s store (fast food) that said they would be carrying Krispy Kreme doughnuts from 23rd March (my birthday). I totally forgot about this at the time and never shared it with anyone else.

The next day was my birthday (which I will write about later) and at one point we got to talking with some friends about the 7-11 stores that have opened in the city recently. I don’t remember what got us onto this topic. We didn’t have them until late last year and a few have popped up in the city and in Fremantle and they sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I’ve bought a few there when in the city a couple of times. I pointed out to most of the others there that 7-11 isn’t really anything to get all that excited about. I grew up with them around and I mostly remember them being more expensive than other convenience stores and there were plenty that were pretty grotty in looks and environment.

I received a number of birthday club offers from various places we visit and one them had to be used by the Tuesday. I went off to get my free birthday burrito and when I reached the end of the road that comes into our neighbourhood, I noticed an additional sign on the construction that’s currently happening there: COMING SOON! Your new 7-11 Store! Yep, within 1km of our house we will have our very own 7-11, with plenty of Krispy Kreme to buy. Personally that’s just a bit closer than I’d like. When I shared this information with the family, I preceded it by the news of KK at the Jester’s and added that it was now dated news since we had a much closer location coming soon. Lego Lover is quite pleased with the news but has been advised he will have to walk there to get his doughnuts. :)
