Duck and cover

Opposed to yesterdays quite bizare day, today has been pretty quiet thankfully enough.

I went into Nottingham and had a interesting morning looking around the shops. I spent a large chunk of time in Waterstones immersed in their history section as it's to be honest brilliant and I had a great difficulty making my mind up as to what to buy.

However I was good and only bought two books.

Where I wasn't so good was the model shop and came away with a bag full of plasticard and other odds and ends of modelling material. I have found that my modelling projects have gotten steadly more involved and complicated, although I think thats more down to having to be more careful about what I buy now as I now longer get a 50% staff discount.

I also popped into the shop where I had a retail secondment last year to say hi. It was interesting to talk to one of the staff members to find out how much has changed in the relatively short time since I've left the company. He then started asking me questions about all of the books saying that he was sure I still had lots of inside connections and found out lots of information all the time about what was coming. I had to admit that I didn't and it seemed to really surprise him. I dunno maybe he was expecting that I still get including in departmental emails or something.

Someone once said that you should always try to learn something new everyday and today I did. The new thing I learned today is to make sure that if Physics is going to be playing on the air hockey table after institute you need to be in a different room, as that puck was flying all over the place. I think he even manged to hit Bro H a couple of times!

anyway,

Later folks.
