Days 487 - 511

In June (or at least from Friday 1^st June to Monday 25^th June) I did some stuff, including:

1. Brought some great music:

2. Brought some tip top DVDs:

3. Brought some fantastic comics:

4. Nearly walked into a wasp (or maybe bee or hornet) nest, I was walking into town for my mid-week food shop and I just wondered into them, I didn’t want to get too close, so can’t positively id the species 😊, which was pretty easy as the nest was in the wall on the street!:

5. I saw this sharps disposal sign:

6. Added to my Ghostbusters collection:

7. The Leigh Art Trail had work up at Chalkwell Train Station and these, from TOMA, were my favourites:

8. I read Alistair MacLean’s Bear Island novel. I really like the film version of Bear Island, which prompted me to get the novel that the film is based on. The novel is a great adventure thriller and is really different from the film! The film is practically all set on Bear Island and features a UN expedition of scientists from different countries who travel to Bear Island to study climate change, whereas the novel features a film crew travelling to Bear Island to make a film and is equally set on the boat taking the crew to Bear Island and on Bear Island. They both revolve around Nazi gold/gold stolen by Nazis, but a lot of the characters motivations differ between the novel and film, but I won’t say anything so that neither the novel or film are spoiled. Both are great fun and recommended.

 

9. And I did the G2 crossword:
