So, today was my day of being brave, mostly inadvertently, and by fluke, since I pretty much decided not to go out and then changed my mind last minute and went to the seaside.
1. Ran into my ex, which was made extra awkward by her having taken me there the first time I went, and it being the place where we agreed that we were dating, and then extra-extra awkward by her parents, who don't know she's gay, also turning up. Which was when I ran away, but it was nice to see her and manage a conversation.
2. Driving home, I went passed a place advertising a brief try at archery so I went in (eep, sports things, always scary) and had a go. So much fun! And I actually hit the target.
3. Also went into the slightly intimidating independent comic shop in Bristol, in which I was, as expected, the only woman, but they were nice and friendly, and sold me volume #1 of Hawkeye, which is a little wacky but fun. Though, I need a chart or something to make sense of all the different comic verses and how they fit together.
So, that was Sunday. How about everyone else?

Re Marvel universes: They plan to end the Ultimate line (Earth-1610) pretty soon so you won't have to worry about confusing 1610 with the main continuity, Earth-616. That said, there's been a lot of bleed-through from the movies, so some 616 comics are more movie-flavoured than others. Not everyone is a fan of this, which I can sort of understand.
I'm glad you are still able to talk with your ex. :)
My Sunday's been quiet. Today was our last day teaching Sunday school for the summer, which is a relief bc I'm just not cut out to prepare lessons every single week. I can't imagine teachers doing it every weekday! I'm also skipping out on a dinner thing bc I keep hacking up a lung. It started as a cold and now it's just asthma, but damn, it's annoying.

Time off from teaching sounds good. I'm still in summer break from my evening job, and having the extra free time is amazing.
Hope you feel better soon - that sounds a miserable way to spend your weekend :(

I haven't done archery since high school, but it sounds like fun.
