Yeah, I do use one of them for work, but that's only ten minutes round the corner, not really a satisfactory ride.

I used to do up to 30 miles nearly every day. I just don't get the time any more.

Got a hair dryer (blowdryer).

Had no idea what to get... I was thinking a cheap one, saw one in an ad and thought "I'd been meaning to get one of those...", so I looked around. Then ended up buying the most expensive one. :D

At least it's a beautiful beast. :lol:

I bought a very nicely made shirt in the thrift store for $3. I looked it up on ebay and found one of the same style and type selling for $125. :D

Yeah, I'd never heard of the brand before, Calypso St. Barth. It was just so pretty that I was curious. Probably won't be getting any more of their clothes unless some more turn up at the thrift store.

A year or two ago I found a very nice tie-dye tee shirt for only $1 at a local thrift store. I have received many compliments on it. The colors are very intense, quite bright and in a very pretty pattern. I only wear this shirt when I am performing in public on the bicycle with the guitar. Many people over the years have independently said that I greatly resemble Jerry Garcia on a bicycle. When I wear a tie-dye shirt the resemblance is even greater lol.

Oh, the very last thing I bought, the most recently purchased? That would be three bottles of Power-Ade to stay hydrated when I ride in hot weather, one bottle of V-8 Fusion blend which tastes great AND is good for my health, and a small pastry which turned out to be not as nice as I had hoped.

My phone is very old. So I got a new one. Had been putting off the decision because phones are expensive and you're never getting every function so there are important differences between all the flagship phones to take into account...

Then I thought that I should get a cheap phone to use while at the gym and running and that sort of activities where one doesn't want to kill expensive gear...

So I looked around yesterday and ordered a cheap phone.

5" 1280 x 720 IPS screen, 1.2 GHz dual core processor, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, 4G LTE.

That's what goes as a £90 cheap phone these days. 8O :!:
