Swindon day... 3 and 4

Hello!

I am going to divide two days into this blog..... well... because I'm lazy basically.

16th July 2009

So, I've arrived in Swindon, which is a very lovely town.  It's quite small, but quite big at the same time, which is lovely. Tons of pubs (which you would expect from an English town), loads of nature and parks, friendly people and I could go on forever (however, I won't).

Today, I've been really busy (along with yesterday) so I haven't really had time to update my blog, but right now, Virginie is reading The Sun, so I thought I might update my blog at the same time (cool, yeah?). I've been really busy applying for jobs and I've even created my own bank account here in England at Loyds (did I spell it right?) and hopefully, I'll get my debit card with £6 (I know it's not a lot of money, however, it's my new bank card :D I think it's cool, anyway.

Virginie just came back from the local shop bringing Salt and Vinegar crisps (they are the best, I swear) and milk, and before we went home, we bought coffees at Costa where I got this huge Coffee Mocha for £2.70. I prefer Costa to Starbucks - Costa is cheaper, and I think they make better coffee. Virginie got two espressos and didn't get ill from it. Hooray for that really! Now I know where to take her for coffee :)

But yeah, rest of the day is going to be pretty quiet!

17th July 2008

Day four went pretty quiet, esp. because it was pissing down with rain and I had decided to take a day off in job-hunting. So, it was a pretty relaxing day in all senses, really. I slept most of the day away - the rain wasn't exactly inviting you to go outside. But then I had time to read in my book and being a real slob on the couch with my Macbook ;)

I had totally forgotten that we were supposed to go to the pub with Virginie's friend Milo (who's an mad, Irish guy, but he's extremely cool) and the inside of my head went like: "Omg... going to the pub? :o I had forgotten that! Why had I forgotten that? I never forget things like that! :o"

So, we went cooking (chilli nachos w. home-made guacamole), made ourselves ready (I tried making a great make-up on Virginie [Virginie, if you didn't like it, you can tell me, you know ;)]) and went to a pub called The Bee-Hive (I had kind of expected to see Amy Winehouse there - with a pub named like that) to drink a few pints. It was the first time I met Milo (but I had heard quite a deal about him) and you know what? Milo is an absolutely amazing guy! I can't wait to get to know him better.

Then we went to The Vic (another pub where there was a horrible live band). Absolutely amazing vibe there, but... I'm more for the smaller pubs. And yeah... that's all I have to say about The Vic ;) (Although, Virginie re-confirmed me about how cute she is whilst drunk.)

And I think that's all for now really! Byye :D
