A lot has happened since my last update…I went to that football game, we went to Shrewsbury (where we spent New Year’s Eve), I got a mean cold, I turned 25 and now everyone is back at work and we now have to entertain ourselves.
I had a really great time at the football. It’s more about the audience response to the players and the game than the game itself. There was much singing and standing up and sitting down…very similar to church actually. Arsenal were playing some other team whose name escapes me - but it really isn’t all that important cos Arsenal won 4-0. If I lived here and I could afford the £35 tickets I’d probably go to more games.
We took a train from London to Shrewsbury (which is in Shropshire - which is really really close to Wales) on New Year’s Eve. We arrived in the tiny Tudor village of Shrewsbury and went directly to the pub. Guiness. The night was spent at a pretty big house party with far too many Welsh people and far too few places to sleep. It was an awesome night, though. Three of my old mates were brave enough to actaully drive from London to Shrewsbury to spend the evening with us. Go Warren, Terence and Sam!!
Monday the 9th is my birthday. Those of you in New Zealand have already celebrated it (right?!). On Saturday night we went to a very cool rockabilly pub called Big Red. It was a massive reunion of sorts. I’d seen people there that hadn’t seen in well over 5 years. It was fucken awesome to catch up and get mangled on Wife Beater (this is what the locals call Stella lager…it’s cheap and strong).
I think I’m going to buy myself a 350D for my birthday. It’s all quite exciting - and on that note I’m outta here.
