A Salted By Caramel!

11:23pm: OK, that's a weird subject heading, but after not been able to find salted caramel stuff until I went to the Alfresco Emporium yesterday, now it's popped up again in the form of the Christmas gift from the library! Of course, now I'm wondering if I should try it out myself, or give it to my aunt. I'm not a big fan of salt, so I'm not sure if I'd like the taste. Decisions, decisions...
Anyway, so yes, the volunteer party was today, I was a bit late getting there but I didn't miss the speeches, or all the food, heh so yum! It was also amusing because it was held in the Local Studies Room, where there was a big sign saying No Food or Drink and there we were with a fruit platter, Christmas cake and scones!
After half an hour I decided to head off to the mall to see about getting small presents for my parents and little bro, but I then remembered an email I got the other day regarding the Back to the Future comic book, the third issue is all ready out! And I haven't even got the first one! However, the only comic book shops are in the city, so...I decided to leave my car parked at the mall and take the L90 in.
I went to Lincraft first and bought some fabric scissors and tried to see if they had any of the reusable shopping bags, but alas they did not (I have now ordered a bee one and a pig one from Ebay), then onto the comic shops! At the first one, which is closing down over the next year, has been around for a very long time, since the 70s, so it's sad to hear it will go. And the same two guys are still running it and they recognised me! Is my face that memorable? Anyway, I found the first issue there, but not the second, so I went to the other comic shop too.
However, they didn't have the second one either! Apparently it's only available online now, so I'll have to order it, that kinda sucks...especially because by going to the second comic shop (not to mention having to go get money from the ATM because some places still have EFTPOS minimums!) I missed the bus I needed to get so I that I wouldn't get charged for parking back at the Mall! That cost me five bucks (and 12 cents because of the credit card surchage), boooo! That's never happened to me before.
Hmpf, but I have the comics and I've read the first story, interesting stuff! Can't wait to see what other stories will unfold.
I was inspired to some creativity this evening, too, making a new mobile phone pouch, since the current one was all dirty and gross, not to mention it's too small for the phone which is how it fell out into the garbage bin on Monday!
Her'es the old one and here's the new one, which has an added bonus, I positioned the strap so I can turn it around, and on the other side is...an ice skate!. Pretty cool huh?
So my day was quite busy especially since I even got my food shopping in, go me!
Now though, I need to head off to bed, goodnight all!
