Today I tagged along with Mish to a friend's beach party at Boscombe Beach, so I got to meet some English people :)
It was pretty chill, this girl had a little beach hut, so we just sat on the beach outside the hut. They didn't talk to me much. Well much less than the German kids, which was the last time I was the foreign kid tagging along. But it was still fun. We tried to build a sandcastle and ended up playing scarecrow tiggy ("stuck in the mud") and wink murder.
Then we gave up because there were jets flying above us cos the Bournemouth air show was happening, obviously in Bournemouth. That was pretty cool. Just lying on the sand looking up at the jets.
The weather was much better than the other day. It still wasn't beach hot, but it was sunny and not so windy.
Then we couldn't find the bus stop so Uncle Mike came to pick us up and now we're stuck in horrible traffic.
I'm now going to take the opportunity to complain about the traffic. Ugh. Winding roads, narrow lanes, one lane each way on rural highways... The other day on the bus we were on a residential street, there was one car parked on each side and bus had to literally slow down to snail pace trying to squeeze through. Then on the main road a car broke down in front of us, so to get past, the bus had to go over to the other side of the road (one lane, remember?), only problem was that it was so so so busy, and nobody was stopping to let the bus through. And generally speaking, traffic is very stop start at every corner. Ugh.
Anyway, can't wait for summer at the beach back home, with weather the way it should be if you're going to be at the beach!
