made the trek to stoke last night. it only took 4 hours. i started out my journey on the rural roads from bournemouth and ended up in salisbury. and, before i knew it....stonehenge. i know! i couldn't believe my eyes. i drove right past it. there it was....in the middle of some field with a rope around it. i didn't stop...i kept going (i was on a mission to get home, you know). maybe some other time. but, wow. stonehenge. that's not something you see everyday now is it?
in other news, i went to the town of leek for provisions today. underwear, a toilet seat (it was on its last legs from the previous tenant i gather...too much information? okay, i'll stop now), a beach blanket, antique picture frames from the oxfam charity shop, and groceries. tomorrow's mission is to find a pair of jeans that actually fit. i've lost seven pounds in the last three weeks and even more since i arrived in this country. its been a combination of stress and the low carb lifestyle. more stress...than the low carbs tho. hey, i'm not complaining.
skyped with the 'rents last night. that was pretty cool. apparently it was 24 degree celsius yesterday in cambridge they tell me. i watched alan carr - chatty man last night. he had mariah carey on. watched her scream with control into the microphone. pure sap it was. yuck.
anywho, i think that's all for now. looking forward to a few games of scrabble this evening with nana, and a few glasses of hardy's shiraz. oh, it's good to be home!!!!!
