exploring new territory

After waking up this morning around ten with the sun shining through my window -which presented a flawless blue sky to my still tired eyes- and staying in bed for another hour doing knitting, I decided the weather was far to good and too much of a rarity in the UK to stay in bed all day!! So I got up and ready to take the bus to Christchurch...where I missed my designated bus stop at first, but since over here bus stops are only about 150 m away from one another and the sun was still shining I didn't mind very much. There I was, wandering around, finding a circular path along the water, where I came across a beautiful bench, that apparently had just been waiting for me to sit on it...so I slouched on the bench, peoplewatching, listening to music, enjoying the warmth of October sun, life in general and the sight of the cutest dog ever, who had the time of his life chasing swans through the water, causing the indignation of nearly all passers-by and seemingly inappropriate laughter on my side =)

When I finally decided to go back and was standing at the bus stop already, it occured to me that I had almost forgotten the most important part of my trip; buying booze to welcome Karolin in style and to predetermine the direction this stay is about to take ;) So I got some champagne and rosé and returned to the bus stop to find out I had just missed the bus and now had to wait for about 90 minutes for the next one...at first I thought about catching a cab back, but since I had already paid for my return ticket, I decided to find myself a nice and sunny spot again, so I sat in a park, listened to some nice tunes, ate raddish and took some notes on my cell phone, since I didn't have anything to write with me. 

After waiting for more than an hour, I found out I had lost my return ticket and after returning to the bus stop I found out that I missed my bus AGAIN!!! Unfortunately that had been the last bus for the day, since it is sunday and I ended up catching a cab! Oh well...

Having returned, I cleaned the kitchen, which was in an unacceptable condition, did some more knitting, cooked myself some dinner and now I am waiting for Karolin to finally arrive, I'm so excited!!! Even more since I haven't been able to talk to anyone but myself and the girl at topshop in 2 days, for this block of residences is DESERTED!!! That's horrible, even more for me, who has a very strong urge to communicate (just in case anybody didn't know, yet).

Okay, I'm off to pick up Ms Weber, get drunk and TALK! x
