odd sights

Some amusing/bizarre things from the last week or so:

  • Tuesday evening, massive thunderstorm :)  Later on I notice that the church clock (which is very noisy) had lost two and a half hours.  I don't know if it got struck.  Cue many bad jokes about Ludlow being 'behind the times' etc.
  • Man emptying the bins.  Nothing weird here you might think - but instead of taking the bag out of the bin and chucking the whole lot in his little cart thing, he'd was using one of those litter picking grabby sticks to remove things from the bin one at a time.
  • Yesterday, in Merry Hell, I walked past a travel agents who had a sign in the window offering holidays to Grease.  Honestly...!
Today I am off to walk up some hills and get my new hiking boots nice and muddy :)

Happy Birthday Me!

Various websites tell me that it is now my birthday.  Woo, I'm 23 :D

I thought this was a boring number and was a bit meh about it but then this morning (yesterday morning) I had a very sad geeky moment where I actually said - out loud with much glee - "oooooh, prime number!!"

So there you go...

Cats and Chocolate. what more could a girl need?

my new cat

I have somehow found myself with not much to do this weekend, so following a very long and lazy lie in, I went for a wander around Ludlow. 

And came back with a new cat.  I have another cat ornament in the same style, that one's smaller and blue and in a silly pose and is actually one of my favourite random house decorations :)  So I couldn't resist buying this one to join it. It's a bit more fragile and, er, rustic, but only cost me £1.25 so that's ok, heh.

Perhaps more importantly, I finally found the chocolate shop in Ludlow.  And it sells Jelly Belly!  Hooray!  Now I just have to not spend my wages on jelly beans and posh expensive chocolate, hmm.
