Miss Map

I have found a young person who appears to have internally digested a map. She can tell me exactly how to get to wherever I want to go. Both the easy 'your thick and this is easy but a bit long' route and the 'if you can handle it this is the slightly more complicated but but it is shorter' route. She has marked off the local churches and supermarkets on my paper road map. Has told me how to get to cinema, bowling place, library, great Chinese takeaway, great Indian takeaway, swimming pool, sports centre, everything! Today she was my satnav to get me to Dunelm to do exciting blind and bin buying. She was just like a satnav (and I don't even think she'dve got cross with me if I'd gone wrong like Nora does). I am in awe of her supreme knowledge of roads!

Right OK then

It appears to have been a little while since I last blogged. That is mostly because I have been in Wales with some children and have been doing moving. Wales with children was lots and lots of fun. Although I chickened out of the big ride at the theme park we went to. I did however never chicken out of doing swimming in the sea. Moving has been great. Dad hired a big van with a tail lift, that was very exciting. We even went to Ikea in it. I am now trying to find homes for all of my things in my flat. I keep on thinking I am doing well, and then I find another box with things that I shoved in because I didn't know where they should live. They will all find homes eventually I am sure. My bed, bedside table, sofa bed and drying rack that came from the Swedish people are all rather good. The bed is very comfy, the bed side table very useful (it even has a shelf!), the sofa bed rather fab (it has movable arms, so you can have arms anywhere along the sofa), and the drying rack is brilliant (does folding out in various combinations to give you different amounts of drying space!)

Today I found my way to Tesco's (to take my card for recycling) and to B&Q (for a bath mat, multi plug thingy and some storage boxes). My hallway is full of mostly useful things, most of which I can reach. My bedroom is pretty sorted (I even have two draws dedicated to stationery items). The living room is slowly getting there, but that is taking time. The kitchen needs a freezer and a tidy up, but is fairly sorted. The bathroom is sorted. I've not put out any nick naks or photos or such like yet, I thought they could wait until more things had homes, and then I would know what space in which to put such things. This is incredibly dull and full of parenthesis, i do apologise. I shall try and do something interesting this week, and then maybe my next post will be interesting.

Sunburn

On Tuesday I went to Southwold. It was a very sunny day, but also was quite windy. I didn't put any suncream on my face, coz my moisturiser has sun protection in it. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon I thought, oo I should put some suncream on. So I put some on my arms (all the way to the top), and my friend put some on the back of my neck. I was wearing a rather large circular necklace. I now have a fair bit of red just below my neck. And a larger white circle in the middle of it. I am finding this very amusing (which is good, because otherwise I think I would find it very sore!) Right now off to the kitchen to make it look all spick and span.
