DOWNPOUR (August 5)

Sometimes it’s just nice to sleep in. Then move to the couch and vedge as I continue to wake up. Then FINALLY get out of the house by the afternoon. Just sometimes.

That, my friends, was today! Kristin and I were lazy as lazy can be and just sat around for awhile and watched chick flicks. :) Then we finally decided it was time to go to the city centre. We got dressed, stepped outside, and the lochness monster apparently sneezed. DOWNPOUR. No umbrella could keep us dry.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love the rain. However, I don’t like wet feet. Wet, soggy, cold feet. That’s the one thing I can’t stand. So by the time we finished swimming to the city, I decided it was time to do it – I needed rain gear. I went to T.K. Maxx (not T.J. Maxx!) and the glory that is Primark, and dished out some precious pounds for a raincoat and “wellies.” Now my feet can be dry! I already have an umbrella from the pound store so I am officially suited for the rain!

However, we were still wet and soggy so when the next downpour began we decided to hop on the subway, bundle up on the couch with hot dinners, and watch chick flicks and Olympics. And that we did. :) After dinner we decided to walk down the street and check out some bars - we found a fun one that was hoppin’ with people of all ages. We each got pear cider (SO GOOD) and took in the fun atmosphere as the bar was buzzing with dancing, karoaking, and overall good spirits. We were GOING to do karaoke (gotta do it SOMETIME) but the bar was closing so we lost that opportunity. Next time! Maybe…

Pictures to come!
