mint jelly

ryan and i did the shopping this afternoon. we left at about 5pm and got there at 5:30 - the bus takes a very indirect route to coles. the bus to come home was at 6:19 so we did a very quick zooming shop and then packed all the shopping into my backback and my big travel pack. we left coles and it was only 6:13 so i went to a take away shop and bought a coke. we walked outside at 6:15 and saw the bus had already got to the bus stop which was about 30m away, so we though 'we'll run up the road to the next one' so we ran, ryan went the wrong way and then all the traffic confused us , we finally crossed one road and then had to cross another but the lights changed and suddenly we were stranded in the middle of a road, the bus was coming and we pondered crossing in front of it but then realised it probably wasn't a good idea - it was dark and we weren't wearing anything particulary bright so we might have got run over, we want back to the side we'd come from and ran a bit more, ryan, with the travel pack on his back full of grocery's starting jumping up and down on the side of the road in an effort to get the bus to stop........and it did, about 20ms further up the road, so we ran again and got to the bus and the driver was so brilliantly nice to us. there was only one other person on the bus so we didn't feel too bad about holding it up.
so when we got home we unpacked the shopping and decided that we'd make roast vegies for dinner. we cut up potatoes, carrot, kumera and pumpkin. i looked in the fridge and found there wasn't much mint jelly left in the jar so i walked down the street to iga to get some. when i came back i sat down at the computer and wondered if there was a mintjelly.com and there was!!!! AND it's another MT blog - how strange is that? I haven't read much of it yet but from what i've read it's pretty good.
