Adventures in Sainsburys and Harrogate
Sep. 26th, 2006 06:56 pmSo the weekend was spent with Mummy and her hubs, who came, saw, did the gardening and cooked a Sunday Roast. I *did* help with the Roast, though!
We had a nice tea in a Spider Infested ASK (in which a couple were having a very noisy and sweary argument - keep it to yourself, children!) and re-introduced them to The Goodies, which they really enjoyed. Apparently my Nana really liked The Goodies too. Go Nana! I don't think Mum can ever get out of Mum Mode with us, though - in Sainsburys there was some girl, probably my age, pushing past us the other way with her trolley - so mum pulls me into her and says 'mind the Lady, darling.' As much as I love my Mum I could have lamped her for that. To tell a 10 year old that is one thing, but to do so to a 26 year old woman made me look like I had to be mentally handicapped or something.
Then a day on the trains yesterday - literally all day! Went to Harrogate and back for work. Was only actually in Harrogate for 2 hours, but I was out from 8am to 10pm traveling there & back. I read around 1/3 of Day Of The Triffids and used up the entirity of my iPod battery. Talked to a nice Scottish man on the London-York Train (not like that though - he was about 60! He reminded me of my Dad.) He noticed my book and 'Airstrip One' badge and so we spent a while talking about Paranoid SciFi Novels and The State Of The World In General. I was impressed that somebody had struck up a conversation with me on public transport and was not a, a letch, b, a raving lunatic, c, both.
Harrogate's very pretty, BTW. What I saw of it, at least. Lots of Posh clothes shops, I noticed, and a Computer Games shop with a lifesize model of the Prince Of Persia (Grrrr). And I was treated to a really beautiful sunset as I whizzed between Grantham and London.
Last Lost tonight - whee! My subconcious decided to end the series for me last night, which was good fun. An enormous bridge to a Mainland just rose up out of the water and they all ran across it. Walt was in a house on the Mainland with the other kids that were taken. They were being looked after by a nice old lady. Riiiiight. Locke stayed though, he decided he preferred Island life. So there you go.
