It's a Weird World

A couple of very surreal experiences yesterday - went into a mobile phone shop to sort out an account issue and the assistant spent half an hour on the phone to Orange having a huge row.... he was the only assistant in the shop, customers came and went and listened to the conversation. Totally bizarre. And then as I walked up the High Street (Newquay) I passed the Games Workshop - Billy and Fin have started getting into Warhammer so I thought I'd take a look. Now that's a totally new world, all the kids in there deep in battle across tables strewn with little men, battlements and tanks. They seemed to be enjoying it. I nearly got the giggles when I asked the man behind the till for some advice. I'm 43 - I had no idea what he was going on about!!

Then it was off to Looe with the boys to throw long bits of nylon with weights and hooks on the end into a River. Some people call it fishing. This Bass is proving very elusive - we'll get one one day and when we do there will be much excitement. Even with the guidance of some helpful locals we pulled up empty lines, time and time again. Oh well, boys enjoyed it. Fish and chips in the minibus and then home.
