What's 2 hours in the evening between friends?

Our local Albert Heijn supermarket closed recently for 10 days for renovations. The only thing they appear to have changed significantly is their opening hours -- which I discovered when I turned up just after 9 pm to get some eggs and milk, only to find that they were closed. Perhaps they've done a deal with the extortionately expensive avondwinkel (night shop) just down the street and are taking a cut from all the additional sales. Easier and more profitable, one suspects, than actually keeping their store open.

Oh well, at least it gave me a chance to see several cats on route and the police talking to one of the belligerent drunks that hangs out next to the recycling bins.
