Number 1

On Monday I took the Eurostar to Brussels. I had a good time. Brussels is a busy, busy place but I liked it very, very much. I stayed in what seemed like a leisure centre near the main shopping area. Lots of people saying, "Pardon" at me. I couldn't hear because I was listening to the Virgins 'Teen Lovers' on repeat at full volume. That song makes me happy.

I was a total tourist and visited the Chinese Pavillion & Pagoda, Atomium with extremely fast elevator that I did not like, Museum of Natural Sciences, Scientastic Fantastic (I think it was called that...) and much more because that is what tourists do. I walked the entire 92 hectares of the National Botanical Gardens. Almost. It was friggin' beautiful and it even snowed. As I arrived early, I'm pretty sure I was the only person there and whilst walking through the woods I thought I was going to be murdered by a man or a wolf. I started getting carried away (all that fresh air) and decided I was going to be murdered by a wolfman. I went on a tour bus and ate Walkers Sunbites. I also spent 19 euros on chocolate.

I took a train to Bruges on Wednesday and had a similarly touristy time with climbing the Belfry. Those were some loud bells. And had a pleasing canal boat ride. Everyone on the boat was English.

Right now I am watching series one of Justice. It is so dramatic, I love it.

Prague is probably too beautiful to be real. I had such a good time walking about everywhere listening to old Xfm podcasts, generally confusing the locals with my outbursts of merriment. I was such a tourist. I bought a Prague card for 790kc (around £25) and had free entry into almost every attraction. I'm not completely sad but I calculated the amount it would have cost had I paid without the card and it came to over 2230kc (around £72) so this pleased me greatly. Immense fun was had by climbing various tall towers, boat rides and the like. I went to a wind recital at St. Nicholas Church and I had big tingles! My favourite place by far was the Czech Folk exhibition at Kinsky Summer House. Lots of amazing embroidered pieces and the traditional dress was WELL GOOD. There was a Christmas room and I loved it. Unfortunately I have no pictures, so you all need to go and see it for yourself. Yesterday, Claire booked the Director's Bar of Koko for her birthday and I had a nice time people watching and attempting to slap balloons. Before that, my sister and I were supposed to go to another Nokia Green Room but the acts weren't too exciting so we went shopping in East Sheen and Richmond. And today, there was a recording of a BBC Four comedy called Cabin Pressure. I laughed.I'm not sure what's going on with my top. There seemed to be quite a bit of Christmas related goodies despite it being June. That isn't actually a hot air balloon, it's some sort of ride of thrill. Look! I had a brief heart attack as this is one letter away from my surname. No one has ever had my surname...apart from my family.I spent the remainder of money on zany named treats, two pairs of tights and a beautiful bag.Did I kill your computer?
