Scienceworks
Today i helped an elderly man on to the train. That is my good deed of the day, and quite possibly for the week or month. Other good deeds that i have performed in the recent past. I have held open doors for total strangers, including but not exclusive to, elderly people, pregnant people, people with prams, pregnant people with prams, elderly pregnant people with prams. Actually that last one was not true, but all the other ones really did happen, really they did.
So i got two calls today, the first of which was from the insurance company of the driver who pulled out in front of me, and the other from my own insurance company. So it turns out that the other party has professed liability for the accident and the claim is all settled now. All that awaits me now is for my car to be repaired, and for me to pick it up in 2 weeks time.
Yesterday was the first sunday of many, many sundays which i was allowed to sleep in until late, all thanks to my lack of personal transportation. Being driven around by others ain’t so bad, in fact i’m very much enjoying it quite a bit, but not too much. Catching the train to work ain’t so bad either if it weren’t for the walking, the waiting, or the cold, so i guess that only leaves the actual trip itself which is bearable.
Scienceworks is heaps of fun if you are a kid or a kid at heart. There is a magnitude of things to see and do, and many of the exhibits are interactive so there is a lot poking, pushing, lifting, sliding, smelling, prodding and zapping to be had. Still, you will need the wonder and the youthful stamina of a child to get through everything without feeling the need to collapse in exhaustion every 15 minutes, with tongue protruding from the side of the mouth.
