| My pretty new bag. |
After the mall we hit up Walmart. It was my first time ever in there, and I was keen to spot some crazies. Unfortunately there weren't any there, or they were having a quiet day. However today I did see a guy who my relatives say only wears jean-shorts and sells stolen goods on the side of the road, so that's almost as good.
Later that night I went out to catch a bus with the intention of going to a night market at Lonsdale Quay, but I must have missed the bus. They're pretty regular here and I thought I was on time, but never mind. I wanted to do something while I was out so I went to the park across the street and messed around on the playground for a bit. I discovered that if you lean right back and look at the ground while you're swinging backwards, and then look up and forward just as you start swinging the other way, you get an incredible rush comparable to the feeling of a rollercoaster. It only lasts a couple of seconds, but it's fucking fantastic.
And that was day two! I'll update on today sometime this evening. Up next: Claire gets a haircut!
I figured out how to comment! It sounds like you're having much more fun over there than the rest of us stuck in Auckland. Do you remember that massive pink fluffy sweater Mum used to wear? She's decided to bring it our of retirement, and is planning on wearing it in public. God help us. Also, the weather sounds much better on your side of the world. It's erratic as usual here, one minute I was contemplating sitting out on the sun lounger, the next minute it started hailing. True story. Next time a bear gets into the garden, try snap a photo or two, ok? Just don't die or anything. Skype us again soon.
