I previously wanted to make one post with just everything, but of course it's going to be quite impossible and take too much time anyway
. So this post will only contain some very specific things which are my new computer and my holydays.
1/ Same computer, New desk.
So, some of you might know this already but I came back from Britain to discover that my previous computer (named Kiki) was dead. Kaput. Muerto. I couldn't even put him on again that's how finished he was :/. I wasn't too upset because I have a history about loosing everything that is on my computers tbh. It already happened to me 5 or 6 times before so I deal with it pretty well. And Kiki was showing signs of weakness from some time now.
Anyway, cutting things short, I have a friend who works in computers so he was able to find me one easy and not expensive. Héhé love him ♥.
Therefore, I present to you Shaggydog (yep new kickass name in honor of best direwolf of the universe and beyond ^^).
I just hope he'll be as resistant as the irl Shaggydog
. It's quite simple but so far very effective.I don't need some fancy computer since I barely use it for anything else than Word, internet and Itunes. But did you guys knew that those kind of "big" computers (in french we called them "for office") tend to disappear? :o. You either have only laptops or all-in-one new generation computers. I did hesitate with a laptop but since I still had my screen and I'm use to it (it's quite big and I watch all the dramas etc on it)
Be cool Shaggydog. Be resistent
.
2/ London Calling.
So London. It changed. Big time. This is the very first time I enjoyed London itself a lot less than usual. I don't know if it's because of the huge major works they are having there (they're going to have the Olympics games so the all city is showing a new face), or because the contrast with the Wales (hkgsgkdfgjhdf) was too big... maybe it was a bit hard of jealousy about the Olympics since I really wanted it to be in Paris? I don't know but the result is slightly the same.
Maybe it's also because London was full. Full of people and tourists. A lot more than usual. Which also means less civility (though nothing and no one can beat the sheer awesome politeness of british staff in the stores tbh
).
I did liked it though and we had a great amount of fun
! In Leicester Square they opened an MnM's store. HUGE. On four levels you have bright looking MnM's looking at you lol!
We laughed quite a bit and spent much more time than we should have in that store but it was so colorful and plenty of gadgets no one needs and we did that test were you find which MnM's suits you. I had the colourful mix and the staff guy was all "oh that one is very rare!!". Thanks for confirming that I'm a special snowflake I guess MnM's ^^. Celine had Light Blue, Arthur had Pink and Loïc Dark Blue.
Speaking of colours, look at this:
You could choose your MnM's and take it along the color ^^. Needless to say I only choose brown. Which everyone in my friend group find odd, but I don't care, brown is the least weird because it's the colour of chocolate NA!
So after that the boys and the girls parted their ways. Celine and I wanted to go to Oxford Street to buy some clothes etc, and boys wanted to visit the National science museum which we already did a couple of times ago. I can't tell you how much Oxford Street change in terms of stores. It's uncanny :o. There's a lot of chic stores now. Italian and French. And I just... well I have the same at home so I don't see the point of having them in London too. But that's just probably me.
Anyway good time and then we went to drink in a pub and look at this beauty ♥:
YUMMY! You know that it's actually the only beer I like. I can't drink another one.
One morning we also decided to make a market and it was brilliant. I can't remember the name of it but it wasn't very big. I took a lot of picture there because I always love the colors you get in a market.
That fish is scary.
Mushrooms EVERYWHERE!
Pretty fruits and vegetables. The price of those in Britain is insane. Litteraly. It's sometimes almost twice the price from here :o.
Bread XD. Omg this one smell SO good!!
I bought a muffin there, it was huge and so fluffy. Best muffin ever.
That actually made me laugh
. I don't know if you can see but it says "Fish shop and coffee". I'm sorry, what? So we did get in and it was like the title said a coffee place where you could order a moke, a café etc and a fish shop where you could buy your fish. How amazing is that? Who on Earth has that weird idea of buying your fresh fish and at the same time getting your morning coffee? lol A-MAZING!
We also did Greenwich and we stood on the Greenwich line which was very cool. It felt a bit like we were not in London at that moment. Time feels like it stops within Greenwich making the all afternoon we were there so weird and great!
The all exposition was about Time and Space. I really enjoyed it a lot. And that quote is absolutely heartbreaking somehow:
We did some tourist-y things too. London has some top notch beautiful parks. It feels so good to just spend an afternoon there :).
Nah it's not Pemberley, it's actually Buckingham from an Hyde Park vue ^^.
Our Master. I did miss the Doctor Who show though but none of my friends like it :/.
All in all, lots of good fun despite the city having changed so much ^^!
3/ Everything is Wales and nothing hurts.
We spent some days in Wales and kjfgskgdjfglsdff How much I loved it? Seriously!! I took a lot less pictures over there because I was too much enjoying the all thing in the first place. It's so very very pretty. Very green and sunny and just beautiful. People there have a weird accent but quite easy to understand :). I totally loved Cardiff. I already went there once but only for a couple of hours and we couldn't even do properly the Castle but this time was right XD. The Castle is so great! The all city is really. It's clean not to mention extravagantly plane (I don't know how to say it in english but everything was basically flat ground apart from the Castle which made the city... weird but in a very cool way). Also the Castle is in the middle of the city. HOW GREAT IS THAT? Kickass city is Kickass if you ask me XD.
I did went in the tower, up there. Ugh the stairs were hard and rocky but it was worth it.
That's actually my favorite picture because it's taken from the old castle (and we're talking about Roman Empire here, and probably even before.... that's how old it is) and behind there's new millenium stadium and somehow the association is beautiful :).
The Castle had a huge park just outside his gates!
The Castle was also a shelter for people during the war and the Blitzkrieg. You know that siren we ear here every first Wednesday of the month? That Silent Hill siren? They passed it when we here in those dark chilly corridors, and they add the bombing sounds... it was impressive :/.
Original medieval graffitis (reminds me of Rome lol).
Original medieval toilets ^^.
Et voilà. Ah no, last picture I want to share with you guys is going to be a bit bigger but for a good reason ^^. If you manage to say the word (I think it's even suppose to be a sentence actually lol), I'll send you a tiny box of candy ^^.
No wonder, Welsh people are brilliant but insane. Look at their language!
Next GB holidays I want to go back to Ireland and possibly Scotland. I miss Belfast anyway
Next posts needs to be soon because I do want to share the Jdrama wave I'm in. Can you believe that I'm actually watching 4 of them?
Until then, matane!
