Yesterday things were, well not right.

I went out for food shopping but ended up going into town looking for a 2nd hand (or affordable) student chair. The old one I have just doesn't hold my weight that well any more. There was a bit of running about , from office works to a place that sold $200-$400 chairs that certainly WOULD hold my weight, but ( Read more... )

I got what I needed done yesterday, but at a cost.

I decided that today would be a good day to take Bobby on the bus to see Ron (one of his previous owners) at the Aged Care Unit at Wallsend. I've taken Bobby there before - it's one bus trip to and back (with the bus stop practically outside the unit). When bus drivers have questioned me I've pointed out that that he's in a carrier unit and is no ( Read more... )

My first mistake was going out today.

For some reason I wasn't sure if it was a holiday or not. I needed to go out and do a small amount of food shopping. Got ready to go out one the assumption that it was a regular day.  Just as I'm about to race up the street Bella appears sans collar. Both pups were on the chain under the trees, so she must have ( Read more... )

It's the first day I'm travelling under the new local bus timetable, and I will have to be alert not to stuff up travel. For example, last week the bus I would have caught from Barnsley shops left at 10:10am. Today it's 10:05am (and no side trip down Garth St - that's now the other bus). Better not be late. Tomorrow this might be in my favour as it ( Read more... )

The Hunter Valley buses (which include Sugar Valley, Toronto and Minmi bus routes) are all changing their timetables on the 28th. I was a little disappointed with what we got (they were handing out timetables the other day) but what we lose on the roundabouts we pick up on the swings ( Read more... )

I did a "library run" yesterday where I returned a good twenty items I had out from two local library systems. The previous day (Sunday) I never got out from home because I got distracted by the pups - they'd started to jump the front gate and follow me up the road - and missed the buses I needed to catch to get to the Rainbow Visions Picnic. I ( Read more... )

Been procrastinating of doing another post, partly due to illness. Last Sunday I had an unexpected ARTIST'S DATE.

I was really keen to get out of the house, and caught a morning local bus. But I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go - just not to the nearest shopping centre. I saw another passenger get off and assumed that he was catching ( Read more... )

There are no buses running in my area today, and rather than walk at least 6 km to Edgeworth only to discover nothing's open, I'm staying home instead. Got the dishes done, but I have a lot of cleaning up and sorting to do down my end of the house. It's wet and cool, so it's a good day for this.

And while we're at it, since my grandfather fought in ( Read more... )
