Southerly SHOP-edition Schedule Sailing

WHICH DO YOU *SUPPOSE*, THAT I SPENT THE *MOST* TIME "DOING", TODAY..??

• Getting TO and/or WAITING *AT* BUS-STOPS?
• Actual TRAVEL aboard Said-Alluded-To-Vehicles?
• "SHOPPING"!!?

[ANSWER -- ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE!]

And *THIS*, was the PURPOSE behind My
SIX-plus-HOURS of Travails...



WHEN I spotted This FABRIC in the Recently-Received 2013 IKEA CATALOGUE...

I **WANTED** IT!!

oh. And the "45% COTTON - 55% LINEN" *part* DIDN'T Hurt, either!!

-- Although, a slightly LOWER-Price would have been even *better*! Seeing as I *DID* Buy FIVE-METERS!!


I don't think I've EVER Bought THAT much of *any* "ONE" FABRIC, let alone, for that PRICE! Especially, since I *haven't* SEWN ANYthing in **DECADES**!!

BUT, I thought that IT would be GREAT to USE as a DUVET-COVER..? OR, as DRAPES
- along with a Lining - as IT is THINNER than I had Expected. Maybe, I can toss in a Couple of PILLOW-COVERS, too?

Meanwhile, I couldn't just Waste all of that
"TRANSIT"-TIME without Purchasing SOMETHING
"ELSE"!

-- Hence...

THESE COLOURFULLY CUTE ICE-CUBE TRAYS!!


Personally, I'm Thinking "JELL-O" Mold USE...

As I Spied This HORSE-SHAPED BAKING-PAN , I Thought of CADET-JUNIOR...

Of course, the DILEMA with THAT, is the tiny "Detail" regarding CPL.TAT-MOM's rumoured LACK of BAKING and/or CULINARY SKILLS..?

NOT quite MY "forte", either! - However, with such a CUTE PONY-PAN, "in a pinch" I'm SURE that I could Throw "SOMETHING" together...

Like.... JELL-O..??




ANYHOO... IT turned into a Lonngggg Day. And, with "CASINO"-Weather that was SO Predictably UP & DOWN! -- I got Caught in one SHINY-SUN-SHOWER as I got off BUS #3. -- IT passed...

Just in Time for Me to grab the Next BUS *HOME*, with 5-Minutes to SPARE on My TRANSFER!

My FEET need to be HORIZONTAL *NOW*!!
