The facts were these:
After my last update, my birthday occured. I had an amazing party with the best people in the entire world- they gave me wonderful presents (and Neil's card certainly lived up to hype. Yummy.) and I had the most amazing birthday ever. I love them all so much. Then my mumma and pappa gave me my other presents- a pair of little earrings shaped like the Eiffel tower that I'd been wanting for ages (that my mum spent about an hour wandering around Covent Garden trying to find), and both the Armani watch and diamond and tortoiseshell necklace I'd wanted. Upon opening, I promptly melted into a small puddle.
Then we went to Mallorca for a few days so my parents could by cigarette and booze. That was really nice- I got to wear my nice sundress and such.
Then we had prom, where we all looked gorgeous and the boys were charming and got us a limo with chocolates and roses and we danced the night away, but only in moderation because obviously we were all in heels so obviously we were all in vast amounts of pain. And the guy's at the bar were obviously displeased everyone was getting tapwater and no expensive drinks.
Then we had sixth form induction day, where I wore my trousers with my massive flares (Helen was mesmerised by their hypnotic movements) and my heels again (for some reason). Lots of summer reading for english. Woot?
Then, three weeks of France. Many hours of car journeys, châteaus and camp sites. The occasional fit french guy. I read an Alan Titchmarsh novel about a grandma who goes to live with her grandson who falls in love with an artist whose daughter runs away and then the grandma dies. It was good times. I went to the castle where they film Merlin, and my thought process the whole time was 'MERLIN. I'M IN CAMELOT. BRADLEY JAMES AND COLIN MORGAN WHERE RIGHT HERE. MERLIN'. We sat next to a moderatly insane person. Twice. (But at least one was friendly.) I played my DS lots and leveled my Espeon called Marlena (after the Four Seasons song) up to 100.
I missed my dogs a lot. I really needed to hu a dog, and I was THIS close to just jumping one on the street. Upsetting lack of poodles in France.
We went to Paris. I stood on the Eiffel Tower. Mum wouldn't let me take the stairs. But that was probably for the best.
I've made and finished a second friend-group video.
Annndddd I really, really never want to see another baguette as long as I live. :)
