come on aslan!
If you've see nor read Narnia you know what I mean. For thsoe not-in-the-know i'm tryign to edge some kind of summer on to finally get here. I don't knwo which trickster keeps pulling down the lid on the bucket of warm weather but hello? If you mean this as a joke it's gone abit stale by now, thanks.
List form? oh why not, it's been too long ago, and too logn since iposted at all.
- our local football team (i mean soccer team, i mean oh what the hey) have upgraded to the first league. If you're from holland and have heard this bit of news you might understand why I laugh right now. We'retalkign about a club wit ha stadiu mthat holds six thousand people at most. We've had some games agaisnt major teams that had all their supporters ravage half the town center and our diehard fans make do wit hthe other halfso...um... hurray?
- books. I'm zipping up every new title that gets mentioend by someone on my flist here. Which results in a pile of recs and to-be-read stuff and well.
- and my holiday in England. I said beforehand that i would probably stat cryign once I went back home, and lo adn behold once the night boat left i actuall ydid burst into tears. Gads it's weird how much i seem to be pulled tothat country. IT seems thoug, thta ileft right in time re the military incident and the stuff after that? Not that i was anywhere near london but NeighborFriend sort of stopped when it was on our news once i was home and we both did a double-take.'
- the holiday itself though, those who reside in Wales can receive my thanks. I was there for four days before i went for Yorkshire (and anyone hee who lives there or knows it can also receive m ythanks but...) it's like you'd have a streeet or a neighborhood that is a village or city-within-the-city. I said to someon on the couach' if yo uhear some kidn of languagetry to guess three times what it could be, it's probably welsh." We've seen conwy castle, whic hinvolved actual falconers, and old armour and well...I have actually touched a few birds of prey, (the kind that are so educated that if their master says it's fine they fully agree.) I said stupid things while someoen pointed out an ohoo, abig owl. "look, a harry potter bird!" Lucky no-one in my vicinity knew what I was talking about (no really!)
- we visited the place wit hthe very long name. I mean very long name. as in fifty-eight letters.
- i've had rarebit. Which i later described as a piece of round-toast covered in grilled fondue. (sorry sal, i had to another blind perso nwhat it was like. this is the closest i could match it with.)
- i've had welshcakes, which are sort of bland to me but if you're ahardworking farmer or sheep herd of fill-in-the-blank you'll probably love them?
- speaking of sheep, there seem to be almost more of them over there than there's actual grass.
- it's just weird. you come back home and suddenly the qeues are six times longer, everyone wants to be first in line, people pass right through you or push you aside, and parents sound impatient and stressed. I will wait afew eeks though before I buy broccoli. 've had quite enough of that on the hotel dinners, phiew!
- and then i agreed with m yfriend to throw out any cookies cakes and snacks we had in our pantries and make do with just our main meals and getting together for coffee, and having fruit or cucumber instead of woffees. Huh? Well let's jsut see how it feels.
and that was all. NOw it's bed-time for me.
