This week has been nice, the weather has been good, very windy though, my eyes are sore from it! the sailing has been good too. I took over as Engineer here this week so its all go. I had Thursday and Friday off which was lovely so I decided to be a tourist and see the place. I did a bit of shopping, or alot of shopping which was great, bought the obligatory Ugg boots and all that. It was a really nice day, very relaxing and i just wandered into all the shops ive been passing all the time and some i didnt even know were there!
there are loads of bookshops here, mostly second hand, and they are lovely, i was browsing in one the other day, and the owner was asking me where i was from and if i was living here. i was about to say i was only here for a while and that i was on holiday but then i realised, that in fact, i do live here! its great!
i got onto Jen Peterson during the week (for those of you that know her), so I met herself and her boyfriend for dinner which was very nice, we went for a drink to the Sail and Anchor, its a pub that has alot of different types of beer, they gave us this peach beer which was really nice, so we had one there and went away home.
Friday, I did much the same, just wandered around. then i went for a drink and dinner with one of the girls here, it was a glorious day, we sat out in the sun, then we went for ice cream and all! we were home by half eight, were like grannies here half the time!
