Leftovers from a Tiring Day / Yorucu Bir Günün Ardında Kalanlar

in Worldmappin3 days ago

Hello everyone on a beautiful sunny Friday. I hope you are in good spirits.
My wife is bored at home because she does not go out except on my days off. Since she is preparing for a difficult exam, we sometimes go out on my days off to distract her. Today we went to Ümraniye centre around 14.00. We got tired quickly because it was very hot and we sat in a cafe and drank cold coffee.

Güneşli, güzel bir cuma gününden herkese merhaba. Umarım keyifler yerindedir.
İzinli günlerim dışında eşim dışarı çıkmadığı için evde sıkılıyor. Zorlu bir sınava hazırlandığı için kafa dağıtması için izinli günlerimde bazen dışarı çıkıyoruz. Bugün saat 14.00 gibi Ümraniye merkeze gittik. Hava çok sıcak olduğu için çabuk yorulduk ve kafeye oturup soğuk kahve içtik.

After sitting in the cafe for about half an hour, we went for a walk on Alemdağ Street. Contrary to what I expected, it was not very crowded. People probably didn't prefer to go out because of the heat. I like walking on the street I mentioned more in the evenings, but we had difficulty even walking because it was very crowded.

Kafede yaklaşık yarım saat oturduktan sonra Alemdağ caddesinde yürüyüşe çıktık. Beklediğimin aksine çok kalabalık değildi. İnsanlar muhtemelen sıcaklardan dolayı dışarı çıkmayı tercih etmemişler. Bahsettiğim caddede akşamları yürümesini daha çok seviyorum ancak çok kalabalık olduğu için yürümekte bile zorlanıyoruz.

On this street, we stopped by the places where my wife regularly shops. As I said before, I get bored very quickly while shopping, so I want to finish shopping as soon as possible and go home.
First we stopped by the store where scarf-style clothes are sold, of course I waited outside. 😅

Bu cadde üzerinde eşimin düzenli olarak alışveriş yaptığı yerlere uğradık. Daha önce söylediğim gibi alışveriş yaparken ben çok çabuk sıkılıyorum. Bu yüzden bir an önce alışverişi bitirip eve gitmek istiyorum.
İlk önce eşarp tarzı giysilerin satıldığı mağazaya uğradık tabi ben dışarda bekledim. 😅

After buying summer products, we went into a famous big store. I really like this store. You can find products that cost 400-500 Turkish Liras on the internet for 100 Turkish Liras or even cheaper. We definitely shop every time we come here. Today, we shopped for about 1000 liras. I am sure it would have cost much more if we bought it online or from a different place.
There are even times when I think of bulk shopping and trading here. 😅

Yazlık ürünler aldıktan sonra meşhur, büyük bir mağazaya girdik. Bu mağazayı gerçekten seviyorum. İnternet sitelerinde 400-500 Türk lirası olan ürünleri 100 Türk Lirasına hatta daha da ucuza bulabiliyorsunuz. Her geldiğimizde muhakkak alışveriş yaparız. Bugün de yaklaşık 1000 liralık alışveriş yaptık. İnternetten ya da farklı bir yerden alsak eminim çok daha fazla tutacaktı.
Buradan toplu alışveriş yapıp ticaret yapmayı düşündüğüm zamanlar bile oluyor. 😅

Finally, it's my turn. 😅
I hadn't shopped for myself for a long time. While I was out, at the insistence of my wife, we went to a local store and bought t-shirts, shirts and trousers. I spent about 3,500 Turkish lira for 6 items. Considering the clothes, I think the prices are very reasonable. I probably won't buy anything else during the season.
The more bags we had, the more tired we became. We stopped at one last store and finished shopping in the centre.

Sonunda sıra bana geldi. 😅
Uzun zamandır kendim için alışveriş yapmamıştım. Hazır dışarı çıkmışken eşimin ısrarıyla yerel bir mağazaya girip tişört, gömlek ve pantolon aldık. 6 parça ürüne yaklaşık 3.500 Türk lirası harcadım. Kıyafetlere bakılınca bence fiyatlar gayet uygun. Muhtemelen sezon boyunca başka bir şey almam.
Elimizdeki poşetler artınca daha çok yorulmaya başladık. Son bir mağazaya uğrayıp merkezdeki alışverişi tamamladık.

After taking the bus and getting off at the stop closest to home, we did some shopping from the market. I like to walk on this road on the way home. I feel a little bit in the Black Sea while walking under the trees 😅
After coming home, relief came. It was really a very tiring day.
My day was like this in general. I hope you are not as tired as I am. 🙂
See you soon.

Otobüse binip eve en yakın durakta indikten sonra marketten birkaç alışveriş yaptık. Eve giderken fotoğrafını paylaştığım bu yolda yürümeyi seviyorum. Ağaçların altından yürürken kendimi az da olsa Karadeniz’de hissediyorum. 😅
Eve geldikten sonra rahatlama geldi. Gerçekten çok yorucu bir gün oldu.
Günüm genel olarak böyle geçti. Umarım siz benim kadar yorulmamışsınızdır. 🙂
Görüşmek üzere.

The heat, the shopping, and all that walking, I’m not surprised you were wiped out by the end. But it’s great that you and your wife got to spend some time together, even if it was a tiring one.

Absolutely. Since we can only go out on my days off, such times are much more precious. If not for the heat 😅

Exactly! When days out are rare, they really do mean a lot.🙂 Have a great Sunday! Enjoy!

I share your feelings about shopping, as I also get bored quickly and just want to hurry up and finish so we can go home. That being said, I found your photos to be sort of calming. Perhaps it is just nice to see a typical thing like running errands, but from another point of view, and in a different part of the world. Your big cheap store sounds like one I used to go to in the US called Costco. It is a huge warehouse where you can get just about anything, but at cheap, bulk pricing, which is almost always cheaper than the internet. I would always end up buying more than I needed just because the prices were so good.

I'm not the only one who thinks that way about shopping. I'm glad to hear that. 😅
I usually carry the things my husband buys. I'm kind of running errands, yes. 😄
I think it's like this all over the world. When it is cheap and high quality, even if it is not needed, there is a desire to buy it. Thank you very much for your valuable comment

Having to visit places to relax is a really good idea. Work and exams is so tiring and I'm glad you had your short vacation. The view is so beautiful , I love it 🤍

The number of these trips will increase after the exam. Occasional trips like this are absolutely necessary for distraction. I agree with you. Thank you for your visit.

It’s always refreshing to balance errands with small joys like a peaceful walk or a good bargain, thanks for sharing your sunny Friday adventure!

We try to do it whenever we have the opportunity. Thank you for your visit

spending time with love one is so important even if you feel tired but your wife accompanied you for strolling the tiredness will be gone if you enjoy the moments together exploring the place that you have been.

Yes, it is really more enjoyable with my wife. It was much different before we got married. I used to go shopping maybe once every two weeks 😅
Thank you very much for your interest and relevance

I believe taking your wife out for a trip is not a distraction. What you did was great! 🙌 You spend time with her and that's keeping your relationship stronger 💖 Preparing for exam is really stressful, so getting on a short trip is a best way to unwind. All the best to your wife's exam! I believe she can do it 💪

I do my best to make sure he does well in his exam. These trips are a great source of morale for him. It's very good for a short time before the exam. Thank you for your good wishes and your comment.
