So all I did today after writing in here was meet the others for lunch, looked round a toy shop ( next week i´m gonna get the kids some building bricks and a giant bag of lego stuff) and came back to internet cafe!
We´re all meeting at the Britania pub at half 8, but I´m kinda thinking about going home. Wasn´t sure why at first but have now realised is because I´m now to scared to get taxi on own at night. Have been sat here for nearly 2 hours deciding what to do, and it´s gotten dark in that time! So it´s lose-lose. I think I¨ll get taxi to Britania, they probably have more of an idea where it is than my shitty cold watered house. I´m in need of alcohol anyways, or just liquid to be honest. Fruit juice or something. Mmmm.
Have just been thinking about Heinz tomato soup on a cold night, or Paul´s salad with olives and feta cheese and bread. Or just normal food really. All the cafes here are either burgers, or buffet styles, where they weigh your plate and charge you based on that. But all they all serve is rice, potato salad, some kind of beef stew, and chicken legs! And everybody lives on carbs, seriously. It´s all bread, pasta and these balls of dough! I need English food.
I bought 2 apples on the bus lastnight for 10p, I guess they were ok, but they don´t have crunchy ones like at home. And the bananas are tiny and look really ripe (black.), but are really sweet and hard when you peel them.
There´s so many people selling fruit on street corners, because they have so much of it growing here, but nobody eats it! It´s so frustrating.
I think if I went home now, I could eat for days. Soup, apples, salad and gammon. Oh and Tesco Davidstoff mature chedder cheese :D And white chocolate and salt & vinegar crisps.
