Day 4 - 3/8/14
7:03am
^ That time is correct. And yes I am alive.
7:19am
*in Donkey from Shrek's voice* On the rooad again. Navigation of English roads seems like a bit of a faff. The M6 is being a pain in the butt to find. C'mon M6 don't be like this we used to be on such good terms WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG
7:26am
In conclusion I am not in my right mind between the hours of 6 and 8 in the morning.
3.15pm
I arrived safely and managed to catch a bus to a lovely place called Mumbles. Ordered one scoop of mint choc chip and received two scoops of vanilla. Does my Yorkshire 'mint choc chip' sound like 'vanilla' in Welsh...?! Erm. Kept eating to see if there was mint at the bottom and the vanilla was a gift but...no. NO MINT. Ah well. I think there's two different types of people in the world - those who ask for another of what they actually wanted to order and those who think actually this isn't that bad an option and eat it without saying anything. I'm the latter most definitely-i only got my actual ordered meal the other day as my grandma was there to speak up and tell the waitresses. I would have just eaten the salmon salad with chips just as I ate vanilla today.
3.20pm
Bought some new nail paint from barry m (from the gelly range which is aweeesome by the way-great coverage-i got Prickly Pear which is a lovely lilac colour. I was going to pick Mermaid or Pacific to match with my hair but decided on a slight contrast.) I have 1hr 40mins before Mais finishes work and so I'll probably wander down to the co-op and buy a cold drink as it's pretty darn hot here on the pier in mumbles.I'm not really helping myself by wearing a thick denim jacket but I am on a bench in the shade. Later when I have laptop access I'll upload some pictures since the coast here is gorgeous. Lots of wet sand and brownish moss and a few seagulls but gorgeous nonetheless. have tried to spot mais' work place but haven't succeeded yet.
15.24
I remember when I was on the bus earlier I saw a guy on a double scooter that moved when he did a sort of ice skate move with his feet alternately. really weird. good first impression of Swansea people. A slightly worse one was from the bus driver. I've never been to this place before in my life and buses make me a bit nervous - they're not like trains as they don't stop automatically-you have to know when to press the button and when to get off for a successful exit. Anyway the bus driver agreed to tell me when to get off. I saw that we'd passed a Mumbles sign so I thought OK WE'RE HERE NOW I SHOULD EXIT THE BUS MAYBE THE DRIVERS FORGOTTEN understandably as he wasn't saying anything. I then got up off my seat (safely obviously, when he had stopped) and politely asked "for mumbles should I get off here?" He proceeded to say rather horribly "erm NO, i will say when, NOW SIT BACK DOWN". The welsh accent is good for anger I'll give him that. but I wasn't that impressed with his bus driver charm (or lack of). When we arrived at the stop he shouted "MUUMBLES" like some cocky 12 year old who's just won a lot at a charity penalty shoot out.
20.45
Back from having fab sushi at Wasabi -I had a chicken teriyaki bento and we shared rainbow maki and vegetable gyoto...gyotz? it was so niiiice. We have bought goodies for campervan fun camping times (thank you cadburys). Tomorrow shall be hot so we shall go into town and I shall wear a dress muahaha take that weather hahahaha. Guten Nacht mes amigos!
