Ordering out

I am 23 and I just ordered pizza at home for the first time in my life. I found the experience highly amusing, from being able to order online instead of by phone like I expected to do, to "constructing" the pizza online, which involved selecting from various options and watching as the pizza on the screen changed as options where added/taken away, to the little tracker provided online after you submit your order that shows you where your pizza is at.

Honestly, I have never seen something quite as absurd as this: 

 

The tracker goes through various steps: order placed, prep, bake, quality check,  and out for delivery. I laughed a bit at the quality check part XD

And then the question - Do people actually sit in front of their computers watching the tracker until there pizza arrives? 

It is, indeed, a little bit absurd.

The pizza arrived in good time and it was still hot and most of all, I enjoyed it (as any person eating pizza should! It is a hard food not to like...). 

Today has been a good day. Very tired. But mum and I went out for a few hours. We drove around town gathering clues to make a treasure hunt for an aunt and uncle who just celebrated their birthdays and wedding anniversary. At each location, they will be given a clue that, when answered correctly, will reveal a secret letter. After collecting all the letters, they will have to match them to another number to solve a phrase. For example, place the letter from location one on the blank space with the number 15 underneath it. Some of the clues got quite creative. At one location there were several flags, one American, two Canadian, and a pirate flag barely hanging onto a pole. The clue I came up with: One of these flags is barely hanging on. What flag is it and who does it belong to? (Answer: A pirate flag, it belongs to pirates). What does the owner of this flag say? The answer sounds like a letter.

I will give you a minute to figure it out.

Get it yet? Here is the answer. Pirate say "argh". So the secrete letter is R. 

Mum and I drove all over town to get locations for the clues - 22 in total. Tomorrow we will drive the route again to get down any extra directions we may need to include, and then a third time as if we were completing the treasure hunt to make sure it all makes sense. It seems like a lot of work, and it is, but it is also a lot of fun and a great way to get out of the house and do something =)

Hoping the relative enjoy it as much as we did making it!
