Grocery shopping

around Windisch. It's a sunny day today and according to the weather forecast and my Casio barometer, it will be sunny with 19 degrees Celsius maximum with low possibility of rain. It's a good time to go out to do some grocery shopping and bring baby Firdaus out for some fresh air. First stop, we went to an asian grocery shop to get some tom yam ingredients before heading to Migros to get some vegetables, chocolates for friends and family back home, yoghurts, and other stuff.  I was surprised to see durian in the asian shop! Didn't ask the price though. Must've cost an arm an a leg.


The Vindonissa, a roman relic near my sister's house. "Vindonissa was a Roman legion camp at modern Windisch, Switzerland. It was probably established in AD 15. In an expansion around 30, thermal baths were added. The Legio XIII Gemina was stationed at Vindonissa until 44 or 45. With the arrival of the 21st legion (XXI Rapax) the camp was rebuilt with stone fortifications. After the 21st legion had looted the countryside in 69, it was replaced by the 11th legion (XI Claudia) which remained stationed until 101. After this date, Vindonissa was a civilian settlement, with a castle built in the 4th century. The remains of the camp are listed as a heritage site of national significance." - Taken from Wikipedia


My wife and sister bought some clothes in Brugg which is a short walk from Windisch. The clothes were on aktion (sale).


City of Brugg. A quiet city as you can see.

Flowers start to blossom in spring.
