Busy Days

Been very busy yesterday and today.

Yesterday (Friday) I went to: the Library and ALDI at Wallsend; Woollies and Big-W at Jesmond; Jenn's; K-Mart, Reject Shop, and Coles at Glendale, and back on the bus to home. It was a long day. Now today (Saturday) I went to: the bike shop and library at Cardiff, the library at New Lambton, Woollies and Big-W at Jesmond, Jenn's, Coles and the Newsagent at Wallsend, and then on the bus to home.

Part of the reason I've been "gallivanting around" has been to get bits and pieces to restore my mountain bike to working order. I got tubes (with Slime!), chains and tires yesterday, but also pet food, oranges and shoes too. It was fun getting it all home on the bus using the "mega trolley" (really a collapsible work trolley with a 50 litre rubbish bin strapped to it), I had to put the tires over my shoulder.

Today I went to Cardiff to get a "chain breaker". As it happened I didn't need it, but one day I will. Anyway. As I was about to pay for the thing I discovered that I'd lost my purse! I backtracked and guessed that I'd left it on the bus. Couldn't phone the depot because they weren't open, so  waited for the Sugar Valley Bus to return from Charlestown. It was the same bus and driver, and when I checked, I found the purse between two seats! Deciding to push my luck, I've bought a lotto ticket as well.

My other main task was to get to Big-W at Jesmond to buy a ball for Pegasus. Because this was Saturday that was more difficult than usual. I caught a connecting bus and ended up in New Lambton by mistake, so I went to the library there. Afterwards, I decided to walk from there to Jesmond, and later from Jesmond to Wallsend (about 7-12 kms).

Busy busy busy today. Got home relatively early, and found that Kevin had already sorted out the bike (he's had a lot of experience with Mountain Bikes) though it's taken a lot out of him. Cool stuff. We're relaxing now and I'm buying Chinese takeaway as thanks.

Cool day - busy but fun.

Ha ha - they got it RIGHT!

Star Trek Bonanza

I was following up a review of Boston and Shawn when I came across Something Awful. In particular, I came across Star Trek Bonanza.

GASP.

The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Characters

What - They have some? Apparently, they do! Superman is Methodist, Spiderman Protestant, and the Hulk is Catholic (lapsed)! At least that's the gist of the web page The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Characters which is part of Adherents.Com.

Golly (though The Thing being Jewish makes sense)!
