May. 2nd, 2026 06:59 pmSo past days ended up even more tiring. This was because mum decided we needed compost, hence heading down to get it from Home Bargains. Alas that meant I had to carry the thing around the store which… ugh. Was tiring. (I did get a lil Nubs on his speeder bike and doorables that includes Queen Amidala herself!)
Then yesterday I ended up spending the morning in the garden. Not cause of the compost but cause Naryu found a little bird. It seemed to be ok, so we put it on a chair and I kept watch to make sure the parents spotted it. Thankfully they did and the black bird parents fed them on there, at least until it hoped off it. I’m not sure what happened to it cause they were gone when I checked later,
I’m gonna make a seperate post for these but I watched a random ‘film’ called Insidious Tales and then Warning From Space last night. Proper thoughts on both tomorrow maybe. Also last night was the finale of Beyond Paradise (satisfying ending is all I’ll say) and an ep of The Pitt (poor Dennis needing new scrubs already).
Today was a trip out for Free Comic book day and Lego stuff and… it was a mixed bag.
We went straight to the Lego Store and there was already a queue. However they let us join and gave us cute tickets (66 and 67) to get the make and take. It’s of the Mandalorian’s N1 starfighter which is really cool! I love it. I also got the new Razor Crest polybag by getting the New Republic X-Wing. (I worked out it’s been 10 years since I got a full size Lego X-wing!) I’m glad it’s got a Colonel Ward I’m so excited to see her in action (and Carson Teva who’s awesome). I didn’t get the Darksaber cause it needed £145 spent which felt so much, but I do wanna get the cute Anzellan ship (alas it wasn’t on display)
Instead of going to get the comics we went further into the bullring which ended up being a mistake. I looked in hmv but alas they didn’t have the blu rays I was looking for (the offer wasn’t on display so I couldn’t find them to look at them) but then… ugh
We went to the entertainer cause it had another Make And Take, the Bantha I got before. I expected it to be like previous times I went, with just a short wait but this time… nope. The queue was barely moved and we had to be there for over an hour. It was a bit ridiculous, the build is pretty involved but they only had two instructions both black and white and only one small area to build. Usually that’s fine but this time… I dunno. To quote the simpsons, it was a veritable orgasm of poor planning.
We did get to the Forbidden Planet, which had a signed books sale online but none were in the store. Maybe I’ll order them but shipping is usually terrible from them. I did get some mandalorian books, plus a Star Trek one and a treasures of batuu one (I’ve not seen what the treasures are yet) plus a micro galaxy blind box (Ahsoka on a speeder) and two black series figures: a Halloween one and Merrin.
There were also Free Comic book day blind bags and I got the sonic + dc one I wanted, plus one with Jeff the land shark. The others weren’t on my main list of wants but I’ll see.
When we got to the other forbidden planet, usually our first stop, cause you can use what you get. Alas pretty much everything was gone which was a shame. The only one I was really after from the choices was the Alien one. I might have to hunt down the masters of the universe/dungeons and dragons, aquamantee and nice house on the lake. (And I think there’s another too) (Also alas they didn’t have the Maul comic I wanted to buy)
Alas the waiting in the entertainer also meant I missed the theatre’s open day which was a shame (though looking at the insta it seems a lot was kid focussed so maybe I didn’t miss as much as I think)
On the way back I got off in town to the smyths cause they had a Lego mandalorian and Grogu cap if you got a set. So I got Cobb Vanth’s speeder (which I wanted and was on offer) plus the funkos if Maul and Icarus.
Now I’m just gonna flop, I dunno if I’ll build any Lego or read anything today but maybe tomorrow. I did end up listening to the Solo soundtrack which has made me wanna watch it again.
