Aka Wednesday 6th February 2019
Today I walked a total of 10.24km (6.36 miles), which took 2
hours 18 minutes and 26 seconds, and burnt through 1,197 calories and took 14,408
steps…
…during which I got these New Comic Book Day beauties:
…and I picked up my copy of ‘The Movement Of The Free Spirit’
mix album by Prins Thomas, which so far has been a nice ambient mix (because I
got it from Bandcamp I got the mp3’s as soon as my order was placed).
And because
I pre-ordered the album from Smalltown Supersound’s Bandcamp page, it meant that
it was posted to me from Norway, which meant that the Post Office and HMRC
slapped an extra £13 pounds on it, which kinda felt like they were holding the album
to ransom! And it kinda soured how I feel to the album now, I thought I was doing
the right thing and buying it from the record label itself, instead of buying
from Amazon. The extra VAT I can get my head round, but not the Royal Mail
handling charge of £8, which all I can see means the card they post through
your door asking for extra money!
…and I did the G2 Crossword:
…and things get better with today’s crossword as I only
needed to cheat on an eighth of the clues (three out of 24) and I really should
have gotten that a ‘musical interval of eight tones’ is an ‘octave’, especially
as eight is right there in the clue!, but I did learn that Taipeh is in Taiwan.
Will this continuance of improvement continue with tomorrow’s crossword?
...and I did some other crosswords and puzzles:
