Garnet's Life Adventures: Been awhile, I know . . .

Thursday, April 12

so since I last blogged a week ago, lots has happened. I'll bullet them so you don't get as bored reading all the mundane details:

Made a veggy curry for Jim, Estee, Stephen (E's cousin), and Zarina on Thursday night
Went to the Isle of Wight from Saturday to Monday
to get there you have to take a train from Waterloo to Portsmouth & then a 15 minute ferry over to Ryde Pier
I spent most of my time there relaxing in the garden & walking on the beach
I stayed at Claverton House, my friend Jeremy's dad & step mom own it
I went to Brent Cross yesterday & bought a few things at H&M and M&S - this was the first "mall" type place I've ever seen in London, it was pretty cool, but I don't think I'd fancy being there on a weekend!!!
I got the BT phone line activated at our house (after 2 hours of phone calls!)
I researched to find a good international phone & broadband plan
I watched North Country - interesting movie!
Opened my Easter present from my lil sis - had mint double stuffed OREOs, a king KitKat bar, and the coolest kite, can't wait to try it out - wish I'd thought to bring it to the IofW!!
Watched Million Dollar Baby - another good flick!
Met my newest flatmate, Antonio - he's moving in at the weekend
