Is there anything which they can't do

With the new lego shop opened in Cardiff St Davids 2 a while back, there wasn't many shops that focused on lego. Now, I did know a lot of lego sets they sell. But that a lot to myself means little since the lego shop opened.

Now every time I go in the lego shop and that's a lot, there is always something new brought out within that time. New Starwars sets, new Ninjago set, architectural models, Creators set etc. There are all sort of different sets. Although also at very high prices.

So when a small seasonal sets comes out, it perfect for myself. So as this season is Easter, well last week, a nice Bunny and Easter Basket to go with our other Easter decoration (please don't ask) suite me perfect. There is so much lego which is always available.
So my question is, is there anything lego can't do.

Starbucks Relativity

As being fellow Barista in the Starbucks Golden Chain there is a few things in which I get annoyed about when people talk about Starbucks. This is to defend the chain of store I work in (Fair enough I think), things said like Costa or Coffee #1 is better . Well as it says in the name, Costa 'costs' a lot more than Starbucks and Coffee #1 is just a very small chain of coffee shop, doesn't account for.

Although one of very few things I do agree with about Starbucks is that there are flipping loads of them around. In Cardiff, I can count at least 10 possibly more, but defending them again, it does provide the service to customers of wherever you go there will always be a Starbucks near. And looking on that Wide Web I did come across a very funny, possibly factual and defiantly amusing (certainly the caption below the image) picture summing up what one thing about Starbucks.

Down and Around Cardiff Bay.

There is always something to do down the Bay or something going on. Our intentions of going to the Logos 2 ship was diverted when we saw something happening down in the Roald Dahl Plass. As always when there is something happening down the Bay then you are guaranteed to not get a space and drive around of 10 minutes looking of one (we ended parking on the pavement). 

Taking a look at what was happening, we soon discovered that it was the Eisteddfod. Approaching the entrance we were told to pay £10 to enter on additional fees to do things inside or come back at four o'clock (when it's ending) to enter for free. So a perfect way to waste time is to go to the welsh cake shop and buy fresh welsh cakes and eat them with your favourite Starbucks. How this takes an hour to do I have no idea. 

Well after four o'cock heading down to take a look at the Eisteddfod and when we were down there, there was nothing to take a look at. Nothing interesting down there at all so a quick rush up and a run down to the exit. So advice when going down Cardiff Bay is know what you are paying for before you choose to pay for it.

When Two Becomes One.

Today, I went to the place where all the young people are going today, The Museum. To be fair its the only place in Cardiff where you can go which is free (that's if you don't buy any food or gifts, I suggest that you don't). But the best apart of the Museum is the animals exhibit.

Seeing this animal exhibit through a window a big whale it looked from the back as hanging from the ceiling but then being informed that it was a shark. and most people when they come across this situation would do what me and my friend did. You always have to combine the two words together for shear fun. so for this it was WHALARK. It's definitely another in my book along side the woman turned in the man,
SHIM (amazing)
