laura_seabrook | successful outing (Reply)

Almost the opposite of yesterday, I spend about 4 hours out and about, did everything I wanted to, and got home without feeling totally exhausted. I went to Westfields in Kotara via three buses, and got back via three buses and a short stopover for 10 minutes worth of food shopping. A minor problems was that the private bus company was running on a Holiday (Sunday) timetable, while the public buses were running a regular Saturday timetable. Hard to detect because there is a a only a one minute different in the Saturday and Sunday times of the the bus I caught to leave Barnsley. The big difference though is that only half the private buses run on a Sunday.

As it happened that made little difference. I spent a twenty minute layover at Cardiff checking out a shop (and buying a sign, a clock for the study, a dog collar and some screws). At Westfields I bought a replacement 1 Tb drive, an indoor aerial for the Set Top Box in the garden shed (and one that WORKS), a book from Borders (The Photoshop and Painter Artist Tablet Book) that had been marked down from $77 to $48 and had an early Indian lunch. Knew exactly what I wanted at Coles in Edgeworth during another 20 minute layover and got it.

Everything went really well despite changes to plan. Has that sort of "Artist's Date feel" to it, so that's what I'm calling it. The rest of the day will probably be spent drawing comics.
