Such a beautiful day! Not only did we get to sleep in, we could do whatever we wanted – without having to climb lots of stairs or eat pre-cooked food. And the sun was out, at least when I woke up (at 9am). It’s so nice being in a house, with all amenities, and that homely feeling. :)
Chill out day – lazing around for a while and then I went for a walk, got lost a few times, went shopping – realised the credit card I was trying to use hadn’t been authorised yet so I had no money (got Tegan to bring me the other card, that was authorised)………. Spent lots of money, bought me a cool Christmas present that you’ll just have to wait til Christmas Day to find out about. No, it’s not a Canon 7D. Don’t worry, if you’re buying me one of those I am definitely still without.
Tegan had dinner for us ready last night (Tesco microwavable Indian – it was delicious) as well as lots of mandarins and grapes. Clothes washing was prioritised. We watched an entire season of a super cool show called ‘Awkward’. (Don’t worry mum, I’ve got it on my laptop for you). Then we slept, for about 10-12 hours (different people slept more and less).
Barnes (where Tegan lives) is really really nice. It’s not very busy and the houses are all terraced cute little things with well kept front porches and a loft up top. There are trees everywhere and even chirping birds!
I spent a fortune today. There was this great shop with fantastic 70’s style clothes. Fortunately the quality was terrible and I wasn’t talked in to buying too much. Namely: a Tinkerbell jumper, a really comfy jumper, pink velour tracksuit pants and a skivvy to go under the Tinkerbell jumper.
And then I got some Christmas decorations, a couple of presents (including mine: ohhhhh yeah), a coffee, a bunch of necessary stuff at ‘PoundLand’ (like the two dollar shop, but everything is actually one pound)……. And two bloody long Christmas paper rolls. Too long, they were annoying.
For dinner we shared more Tesco microwavable stuff – I had extra vegies and salad. I also bought a hunk of ham, that is the driest, most flavourless hunk of ham I’ve ever tried. We have decided that maybe all ham from shops taste like that, and that we’re just really lucky having awesome home-made ham every Christmas. So, probably no more ham and we’ll try for turkey next time.
Brighton is our next stop. Tomorrow, after we go to Harrods. I bet I spend more money… Argh.
