Going to the Fair!

Hey there! Ok, well it's been a whole five days since i wrote, so i thought i'd better check in again, before i forget about it and the whole idea slowly dies a painful death... right...

Anywayz, Tuesday was all good. i was going to walk to Gloucester - since i feel a gap year is to do things you've always wanted to do, and i've always wondered how long it would take - as you do... So i was all booted and coated etc and then it chucked it down with rain... so, instead i waited a while, walked to the Shurdington road, todays excerise quota... ::) and got the bus to Claire's house for pizza, sweets, ice cream films and generally have fun.

And it was fun, and before we knew it it was Wednesday and the birds were singing and we were chattering and then, maybe about 5am, we finally fell asleep watching muppets... so having got some sleep and got mightily confused as to where to get off the bus, me and Elmo walked back home across the fields, just in time for me to make some lunch and drink some tea in an attempt to NOT fall asleep while spending two hours driving (Pass Plus - car in two weeks baby!!! woohoo!). So all was well and i discovered, much to my delight, that after nearly 7 months of car-less-ness i could indeed still drive :D Then i came back home and sorted a three foot pile of paper in to subjects with a view to filing them sensibly - but i never got that far, i fell asleep, so now they're all becoming one pile on my floor again... oops... ooo and i cut the grass as well, so the garden smelt (smelled?) cool.

As for Thursday - it was pretty much a write off because i spent 5 hours in the middle of the day at work, so i didn't do anything much before and couldn't be bothered to work, so i cycled instead. Then after work i was tired, so i wrote an interesting to-do list and went to bed, having stayed up rather to late doing nothing very much, but then, i guess doing nothing was pretty much the plan this week, whereas working wasn't...

Today i was in a great deal of pain when i woke up, so i curled up in a ball and fell asleep again. Since i didn't feel like risking making myself feel worse i stayed in bed and read Harry Potter #1, just 4 more to go in the next week! (think i might not be doing anything else in the next week...). After that i felt i ought to eat something, so i made some lunch and ate about a third of it... yeah, so that was worth it... then i remembered i was supposed to be going to the fair and walking into town. nearly didn't go, but thought i ought to get out the house. So all drugged up i wandered slowly into town with Jen, and met Jennie, KT, and then Ollie, Elmo and her brother. Fairs=ridiculously expensive, but it was very fun all the same and i won loads on the penny falls first time, but then i had loads of coins that wouldn't fit in my purse... so i had to spend them... hehehe... and then we shared candy floss and went on some rides, and it made me happy - even moreso, because the co-op now have 'robot tills', which are hilarious...

Then wandered back home again past Jen's house - really nice night altogether, glad i went out. I'm not doing very well at the whole saving thing... but nevermind - having fun :)

Tomorrow, working, then Shoots house for food with music people - so it's all good... :D
