Lazy Summery No.4

Jumped out of bed at 10 past 12 today, that's pretty bad. Slept a little better, though.

Called up my father and sister - but to no answer. Tried the house phone too, and no luck. At 1:20 or so I fried up some sausages and bacon - a good time to eat some of them. Sausages cooked fast and well (and I nearly burnt them) but the bacon took longer than they often would.

Later that day, at about 2:30 my dad rung up to say he was about to head to Farnham with Holly - about six minutes or so. 45 minutes later, he called up again to say he was coming up to the car park. Walking into the car park behind the Student Village, there I saw him - with Iggy hopping around. Gave him 40p change for the ticket machine, and took guided Iggy to the car. Saw Holly in there, looking well! Iggy promptly hopped right into the car, back onto her lap.

Leaving the doggy friend in the car, we headed to a cafe down around the arcade. Candy...Twist, I think it's called. Not only was it a cafe, it was a shop for sweet confectionary as well. Dad and Holly got to see how I was doing; I behaved a little bit tense, especially for a minute around my sister but I cooled. Tea was nice, and my dad had a "really strong hot chocolate" along with a coffee. Caffeine, it gives mankind power.

Afterwards, Holly and dad looked into a couple of shops on the way up to Waitrose - a perfume/fragrance and clothes shop to be precise. My sister saw a coat that caught her eye, and my dad put an order of some sort on for it for Christmas. (Along with a 'royalty' card or similar - something to get a discount, I think) At Waitrose, I picked up some goods for me from an Indian meal, stuff for a stir-fry, milk and so on. Taking the opportunity to, dad and Holly did a shop up there as well. I really appreciated how easy-going dad was with this food shopping.

After packing the goods into the car, I kept my shopping and headed back to my place - Holly, dad and Iggy followed. I was a little cautious on Iggy coming along (He tends to get hostile around teens, and barks) but he was fine. He enjoyed stopping mid-way often to peep at students hanging outside their house. We all headed into 92, and dad needed to go for a whizz (as did Holly). Iggy hopped all around the room checking it out, and probably lavishly investigating student smells. Before leaving, Holly and dad reassured me about staying on top of University work and figuring it out - that I'd do fine. I really appreciated it!  In particular, dad often talked about the essay. It isn't top priority for me...but I would actually like to start it at least by the end of next week.

Followed the trio to the door, and gave them my farewells. My dad is heading back to work in India on Monday. Packed my shopping away and started up the stir-fry. Jamie popped up, having woken up recently; he had to film his documentary at Woking from 9am and didn't get back 'till 10am the following day for reasons involving some shootings happening only past midnight. He talked about how weird it was to fall asleep during the day and I talked about the new Winnie the Pooh film. (Traditionally animated! ENGLISH Christopher Robin!)

As I was eating up my stir-fry, Yannis popped up. He sounded a little grumpy, and wondered "why is there a cup there?" Cup left in his cupboard, I believe, but it might be the sink. Likely the latter. Oh, Yannis got back yesterday if I recall. Not only did he head back home this week, he also went to a gig featuring his favourite band, The Foals. One of his friends during the event had pissed in a cup ('Weenier cup') and placed it near the legs of a seated girls without her notice. Yannis himself didn't see the result - but he expected it to of been good and bad. Yannis spent much of today asleep as well, since he was both up through the night for the Foals, and spent a good portion of the time travelling back to University the following day.

Yannis wondered if I had a cold - I confirmed it (it started manifesting today, actually) and he offered me to use some of his cold pills. "No thanks" - but I do appreciate the offer. He dumped his washing on top of the stuff that was mine in the sink - he must of not noticed I was going to wash my stuff up soon. :(  Finally did so after consuming the entirety of my stir-fry. Even now, I feel full!

I could Georgia outside of my room moments ago so I guess she (and maybe Sophie) is back from Brighton. Tomorrow I'll head to the library to get some of the readings for my essay - albeit I need to still choose a question for it first.
