Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a truly spectacular easter. At this point I am still yet to have eaten any easter eggs so I am very proud of myself. Thank you to Melissa for sending you kind gift. It was very thoughtful.
I am on holidays. Hurrah! So far I have watched a lot of tv and movies over the internet. Everyone should check out ‘The Departed’. I thought it was good.
Here is what has been happening to me. A couple of weeks back I caught the bus up to Cowes to meet up with some friends that still live there. That was fine. It started getting late so I decided to head home. I sat and waited quietly at the bus stop watching thousands of teenage hooligans ransack this quaint little town. The police drive passed. Who do they decide is more of a threat to the public, the teenage gang, or me, a lone woman sitting at the bus stop. Of course they choose me. A policeman gets out and starts asking me questions where I’ve been, what I’m doing… And takes my name and address. I was quite put out. But also, a little bit glad. It gives me something to write about.
I spend a couple of days this week in London. I saw Taryn, Neil and Ezra and I stayed with Kellee who Ebony and Helen will remember from Ireland. The crowds were absolutely incredible! I spent a good 15 minutes trying to push through the turnstiles at the tube station. The crowds and the fact that I was staying in a shared household with 7 other people made me quite glad that I came to the Isle of Wight rather that London. It was good to visit though. I went shopping and I went to the Tate Modern. The tate Modern was really cool. It was school holidays so there was a big line up for all of the slides so I didn’t go down them. Besides, It is a bit lame to wait in line for a slide by yourself. My favorite room was the surrealists. They had even arranged the pieces all higgledy piggledy to add to the atmosphere.
I went to the west end and saw a show. I saw Equus with Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths. It was very good. Daniel Radcliffe was naked in the last scene. Not something you see everyday.
On my way back home I caught the ferry to Ryde and waited for a train. I waited and waited and waited and waited… for about 45minutes until finally someone came up to me and said there were taxis waiting outside to take people to where they needed to go. I got in the taxi and asked the driver why the trains weren’t running. He said someone had thrown a bicycle on the tracks. Is it just me or would it not be simpler to pick the bicycle up off the tracks and keep the train going than to stop everything and to pay for people to be ferried about by taxi. I got home in the end anyway.
I want to visit one other place in England before the holidays finish. Just for the day probably. I have yet to decide where though. Only one more week of holidays left. Grrrr!
I didn't take any pictures this trip. The one at the top was from the first time I went to London.
