A Week With Sil

So right now I'm in the UK. Manchester to be in fact. it is the last day of my UK stopover for now, before i fly out to germany tonight.

So what have i been doing since i arrived here a week ago??

well not much really.

the first day i got here i just slept, cause i was so tired from the flight. which was very good. we arrived ahead of scheduale, then it was empty aswell so i just slept across three seats.
my first impression of manchester was of how cold it was. man it was chilly. i was shaking when i got there. i really had to do some shopping ya know. i only had two jumpers. and not really any winter gear. so the following day i went into manchester with sil. we caught the train in and she took me to her work. which is at the court house.

so i walked all around manchester that day. went to a couple of music chops. clothing stores. i walked away with a beanie, sweatband, leather *fake* jacket, cardigan and 4 t shirts. don't ask how much it cost. it had to be done.

i had a packed lunch courtesy of sil. thankyou sil.

the next day i woke up incredably late. i've been sleeping on a really really comfory mattress in the tv room. with an amazing feather pillow and a doona to diea for. so i did a lot of sleeping this week.

the next two days i just slept in late. watched some scrubs, top gear and crazy english television. went for a walk around hazel grove (where she lives in manchester) then the day after i went into work with sil to see her in action.

so i saw 3 guys go to jail. they stole something like 6000 punds worth of stuff, so they got 2 years. some had drug problems, some where just fools and thought what they were doing was gardening (drug farming)...haha

so now that i was turned off drugs i went to a free science and technology museum which was just like the science centre. that was fun walking around manchester seeing all the planes.

i tried to model a plane jet engine on a computer while i was there. my plane flew for 5 metres before plummetting to the ground. obviously the is no sciecne gene in my blood...thats okay. i can still watch mythbusters and watch them blow stuff up.


so i've been listening to this band called The Thrills. they're amazing. i encourage you all to listen to them. everyone would like them.

on the weekend we went to blackpool. some crazy combination of south beach, las vegas, time zone and kings cross. there were lights up everywhere like vegas, then there was no actual casinos, actually just one, but time zone machines. it was all on a beach strip. then next to those was night clubs...so what happens i guess is that a family comes to black pool, drops the kids off at the arcade games, then go next door clubbing...then they all meet up afterwards...haha...maybe not.

but lots of hen parties, dudes dressed up like girls, girls looking manly, and bucks parties.

so tonight i'm sleeping in an airport ebcause my flights from london at 6.30am. so i need to be there early. and screw paying for accomodation. so yeah...thats me.

we had a baked dinner alst night. best meal by far since leaving aus.

so now im pottering around doing bits and pieces getting ready to leave.

aight....i might blog again in germany. actually i will.

sorry about the long delay in blogging. after a while you get over it.

but im doing it to remember stuff..

aight...peace.x
