I can tell that I've been in England for a while now. Today I was out and about, wandering the town, and it started to rain. I didn't realize it was raining either, I just kept walking and letting the rain drizzle on my hair. I've found that carrying an umbrella is useless (and heavy).
Speaking of hair, I am sick of having bad hair. I want so much to blow dry and do my hair. There aren't any outlets in the loos and so all I have to work with is a tiny mirror in my bedroom. No good. So it's pony tails for me!
So anyway, I went out shopping today. I was going crazy staying at the flats all day long. My poor hubby still isn't feeling well, but he was feeling well enough to grade so I took the chance for fresh air and headed out to Old Market Square. I really love the town center here. There's always something going on and it's just so different from anything Phoenix has to offer. This week is beach week. The entire square has been transformed into a beach, complete with pool, sand and carnival attractions. It was really quite wonderful to see the kids playing in the sand and making sand castles. Nottingham really tries to make the town square a place where people want to be. I think the city center is what Tempe Town Lake (swamp) wants to be, but just cant figure it out.
Today was also the last day of school for the group. We had a party type gathering at the Pit & the Pendulum Pub. Hank was feeling well enough to go, which was good...he needed fresh air. I've enjoyed getting to know everyone who's come on the program with us. Even though Hank and I do our own thing most of the time, I've made a some friends that I hope to see in the future.
