To
celebrate being half way I basically did nothing all day. I had my breakfast,
read some of my book and then decided I should really get out of the house, so
I decided to go for a little run/walk. I ran down Highland Avenue (where they
live) then the next road, when I discovered a park, so obviously I had to go
and test out the swings. It was quite hard because the seat is a bendy bit of
plastic instead of the rigid seats you get in the UK so I found it quite
awkward to pull on the chains to actually swing, I managed it but my 5 minutes
of fun was over. I walked through some alleyways and found a shop, which you
can actually see from Stuarts house and looks really far away. I decided to pop
in, grab and ice cream and slowly walk back, I was probably only gone about an
hour and a bit but it was long enough for me.
I also feel
like I should give a round up of things/music/books etc, so here it goes! (More
for my benefit than anyone else’s, feel free to ignore)
