Quiet Day

-

It's been nice to have a quiet day to myself to relax after the hot weather really made me tired. I got myself a bag of ice from the shop to put in my drinks. Maybe I should get an ice cube tray to save money in the long run? But the way the freezer is would make it hard to find a place to put it.

I Just Can't Win

    These bus delays are just ridiculous. Over 15 minutes late, how are they getting away with it? I got a different bus just because it said on Google Maps that it would take slightly less time than the really late bus, but it ended up arriving at the station several minutes late and made basically no difference. I think because its route has some diversion or something that makes it loop around a place it's already been past, but you'd think with Google Maps having live bus times and information about delays that it would also have information about diversions?

Something my Dad is bothered about is how there aren't many interesting TV shows on most evenings at the moment, or new episodes of shows released on streaming services. Monday has the Quiz shows, but one of the three they usually have on has finished, while the other two are close to finishing, and then we'll have to go a few months without those before they start up again.

I don't know what my Dad could do to be less bored in the evenings.

So there's this bell tower, one with a Chinese design (although some of the letters on it look more Russian or something? I've forgotten the history of this tower). Anyway, I hadn't been up to that area in years, so I decided to go there, and...   There's something not quite right about this...   ...The bell is missing! I looked online, and it turns out the bell has been missing since last year in February. People think it was stolen by some people who I guess were desperate enough for money to go and steal it and sell it to someone who has probably melted it by now. Apparently it was just a replica but still an important one that had been there for many years. Seems like all they can do now is make a new replica and hope no one steals that. After that, I went down to the aviary to see the birds, but there were bar...
