New Goodies

What is there to do on a rainy Dublin weekend! Go shopping and blow lots of money. We had 3 tasks to complete before the weekend was over. Go to the movies, buy a TV and get bikes. After going into 4 different electronic stores and back and forth between a few of them, we did decide on a nice new flat screen 32” JVC. It is well worth the money since now we can use it for a monitor and be able to do live web chats with people and see them almost life size! We took a cab ride home, since there was no way we were going to advertise to the whole world where they could come for a nice new TV, or just take it right out of our hands half way home, exhausted. One task done, two more to go.

While on the train ride to get the TV the day before we saw an add for bikes at a local toystore (think Toys’R’Us). 99.99 Euro was so far the cheapest we had seen! Ben was to get black, and I was to get purple. I picked purple since I figured it would be least likely to be stolen. When we got there we asked if any came pre assembled, and sadly they did not. BUT, they did have some preowned. Only two left, both black, and they were only 60 Euro apiece. They guy right behind us in line was in search of one, but we had just beat him out. With our new bikes we headed home while it was still daylight. No lights and no helm, means no riding bikes at night for me.

Once we got back home, figured out our bikes were not going to fall apart, it was time to trek back across town for our movie. Tasks completed, and money well spent. Now onto getting those helmets….
