I am now in the middle of my summer holidays and feeling really bored. Summer here is dismal! Last summer was so much warmer. A week ago I bought a cheap bus ticket for Oxford, decided to come here again as there was more to see than last time I was here. It was raining the whole way there. I do own 4 umbrella's, but didn't have one with me today! So I took refuge in a chain coffee shop until it stopped.

I then walked down the shopping mall and resisted the shops- for now.
