My first Fosters!!
This was taken on the day that i moved in to 'Babysit' erin and Bec's house for the week.. Little did they kno i was gonna be there for 4 half months.. I'm now starting to realise what its like to drink like a true Londoner.. What’s the clinical amount that deems you an alcoholic?? Is it drinking more than 6 times a week?? Coz I think I’m rooted...
I never thought of myself as a big drinker, I well.. I don’t think I am really.. But my recent efforts are starting to refute that..
I'll start with a quick rundown of the last couple weeks.. As of yesterday, I have been on the UK for 1 month exactly.. Man I cant believe how quick my first month has actually gone.. Since my last post...mmm where did I leave you guys last time?? Oh, yeah, I’d just moved into East Acton..
Well, while Erin and Bec were away, I was left to my own devices.. Tara was getting a camping job up north and it was probably a good thing coz I think we were starting to get to get to the point where we needed a little space from each other.. I did a bit of sightseeing and started to get my resume together but in general, had not much to do..
It got to the
The Scotish Border
We did a jig when we arrived at the border!! point where i was starting to go a little insane as I knew NObody, and the though of sitting in a pub by myself depressed me just a tad.. So much like most of Erin's big decisions that she makes, I decided to mosey on down to the internet cafe and spontaneously book a tour on the Sunday night....
for the next day..
I'd gotten to the point where I just HAD to get out of the house and I wasn’t getting any replies from jobs so I though... what the hell!!
So off I went on a week long tour of England, Wales and Scotland. God it was the BEST fun. Its funny how when you’re thrown into a big-bother style enclosed environment with a bunch of complete strangers, u learn so much about them in a short period of time... I can kinda see why people apply for it.. But the best thing about this obviously is, is that we were travelling at the same time!!
I'll put in some photos as well, not too many of course, it takes foreva to load them here.. But you'll get an idea of some
The Welsh Countryside
More Welsh scenery. Apparently a few car commercials have been filmed in these areas .. of the places we went to..
The drinking was in full force on tour though. Every night we drank.. Cider, beer (yes, I’ve started to drink a little beer) wine, vodka, scotch, shots... not too much I haven’t drunk in the last couple weeks. So my brain is starting to feel the effects.. (As you've probably noticed form my shit typing..)
I got back from Tour on the Sunday and met up with my friend Canos from home!! SO excited to see him, just nice to see a familiar face I guess. Since my last night on tour was probably the messiest night I have had in about 6 months, I certainly wasn’t up for having a huge one.. Canos was soon to change that though.. After checking into our lovely 'cheap' hostel, we proceeded to do our washing in the hostel Laundromat which neither of us had done in a few days...
oh, and we got horribly drunk..
If Canos sends anyone video footage of the evening, please ignore it, it was merely very good editing by his part.. I’m NOT as drunk as i look.. And no, it didn’t take me
On the Border of Wales and England!!
This is our Haggis Group, what a SEXY bunch 10 minutes to get up one flight of stairs.. But yeah, so I HATED myself the next morning when i had to check out..
But besides many more drunken nights, especially this week.. (that i wont go into all of them, coz I’d be here a while.. ) Things are going good.. After my time in Edinburgh, I cant wait to get up there again, probably around October im thinking of heading up there for a much longer stint.
I have my first interview this coming week with an agency and I’m going to look at a place tomorrow. I think Erin and Bec are loving having me here, but I just don’t wanna get to the point where I start to wear out my welcome.. I think I’ve turned into their little house bitch, I cook, clean, do laundry etc.. But of course, thanks to them, I’m rent free for the time being..
Ok, I’ll stop boring all of you, if you got this far, I’m VERY proud of you.. I'll keep u more posted on any exciting developments (if any...) and i think there’s a few photos and videos going up
Conway Castle
One of the many castles we went to.. soon as well..
OH!! Before I 4get!! On the 28th May, im heading to The Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling Festival. I'm hoping to get a load of photos and video form the day, and to answer ur next question, 'yes! im entering!!'
....So next time I write, I could be in hospital in the middle of London somewhere!! Check it out here, its gonna be SO much fun!!!
