Day I Forget What Number

currently watching the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie while i type this and chat with my parents. i quoted this movie earlier and was me with blank stares. alas.

today was a very quiet sort of day. had a bacon roll for breakfast, steak and pork for lunch, then pork and chicken and salad and corn for dinner. Mel and Neil have fed me very very well.

Mel and Neil have three kids, ages 8 1/2 to "15 1/2" (that's what Mel told me), and today the youngest got a bit itchy to go out. so it was decided to go to the beach during the England match. the older two declined, their loss.

the beaches here aren't like most beaches you know. instead of sand they have pebbles and rocks, they call them "shingles". cons: it's not as comfortable to walk on. pros: you'll never eat a literal sandwich.

anyway. i didn't feel like swimming, so i wore a hooded long-sleeve shirt i bought in London, and my jeans. put the hood up and lay so there was no exposed skin on me. i must've looked odd, but i don't mind. i took a nap.

i never noticed how the vampires in this movie are almost black&white. interesting visual choice, that. and holy crap Ben Affleck!

after the beach, the youngest took me to the park near the house for a bit, then dinner. crossword and Strongbow and talk of, but no actual, Trivial Pursuit. since it's sunday all the kids have school tomorrow and that meant after-dinner conversation was concentrated on homework and exams. so i watched part of a movie while that got sorted.

i would've gone to bed a while ago, Mel and Neil did, but i wanted to talk to my parents. now i've done so and can think of nothing else worth saying, so i'm going to bed. setting an alarm and (hopefully) getting things done tomorrow. goodnight all!
