a Saturday sans bus
This is the first Saturday since arriving (today marks the 7th Saturday) that we did not ride the bus anywhere - be it to Asda or into town. It was nice just sleeping in, having hot chocolate and banana bread for breakfast, doing domestic-y things like tending to laundry and hoovering, and then having left over quiche for lunch before heading to the Students' Union for Clark Kent's haircut:
We also bought two newspapers (the campus store sells them dirt cheap) so we could feel informed. Clark Kent enjoyed tucking them under his arm on the walk back to our flat. We enjoyed tea and banana bread (this time with cream cheese on top) and each called home. I began reading a book called Super Foods (put out by DK - basically, I love all DK books) and taking notes in the 5x8 notebook Clark Kent got me. We walked to our little neighborhood shops to a bookstore that's closing down - a used book store selling all books for a pound, and children's book are just 50 pence. I found a copy of Winnie the Pooh and Clark Kent got an economics textbook AND got REALLY excited to find a copy of Watership Down (I had no idea he loved that book). It was a fruitful trip because I finally took this picture (that I've wanted to take for 6 weeks now):
Tomorrow we're going to meet my aunt (who's been in the UK working on a movie since August) in town - so, we're back on the bus.
