this absolute beaut of a playsuit just arrived! only £6 from eBay, brand new ♥
summer needs to hurry up so i can wear it!
beware of french squirrels
it’s four a.m. and i can’t sleep so here’s another summer anecdote from my mapping project in france
we were gathered around a laptop in camp watching the inbetweeners one lazy sunny afternoon, when we started to feel bits of tree fall on us from above
after much puzzlement and chunks of pine cone in our eyes we realised that a naughty red squirrel had positioned himself directly above us and was pulling apart the tree just to drop on our heads
i guess he took offense at the word “clunge”
trying to write stuff again after the holidays
brain: easy peasy, i have great handwriti—
hand: WHAT IS THIS LONG-FORGOTTEN ANCIENT ART
the day i drunk a lot of ants
while in france, we bought grenadine syrup to flavour our water but lost the cap to the bottle at some point - one evening i fancied a drink so poured some syrup into my flask in the darkness, shook it up and took a big swig
as i swallowed i felt these little bits in my mouth, picked one out
oh god
i held my flask up to the light and saw a black tornado of ants swirling around inside it, and further inspection of the actual grenadine bottle revealed an ant:syrup ratio of about 2:1
in hindsight the extra protein probably helped, but oh goodness me
my body clock is trapped in Student Summer Time
general hours of operation: 1pm - 5am*
*perhaps later, depends what the interwebs have to offer and/or how many moths are in the room
all packed up!
after exactly six weeks of rock-licking, camping, fossil-hunting, tinned food, drunken nights, weird insects, amazing scenery, french chavs and “r-r-radio flaixbac!”, we’re finally going home to blighty in the morning!
i promise i’ll try to bring the sunshine back with me ♥
