Hi! So this definitely did not come out on Sunday, but again, I had a midterm today, and I have a 10 page research paper due next Monday, that I had yet to start.

Had to sleep in Derek's mummy bag last night cause I couldn't warm up. Anyways, had a good sleep, woke up, ate breakfast and headed off for a walk. Walked along the canal. WOW.... Lush greens. Ivy everywhere. I took a bunch of pictures so as soon ... read more

It became an extremely popular destination for the rich and privileged who came to take in the healing properties of Baths spa healing ... read more
