Week 6 and 7 - England

Saturday, 11 July, 2009                   1:04AM                                 Leeds, England

I'm in England now, at the hotel, on the floor in the hallway writing this and it's so late. I don't get wireless in my room, but I do down the hall. It's quite late so I'm going to bed. I'm waking up early to have a nice chat with my family. I'm going to be so tired.

I haven't heard much talking here yet, but the little I have has made me laugh because it's a new accent I'm going to have to learn. So far I can't really say which is easier to comprehend Irish or Scottish. It really depends on the person. I like both, and struggle with both. 

I'm leaving now, I may not have internet until Dubai just to warn you all. Love you and miss you!

So I'm feeling really tired, just about to go to sleep. I've ended up getting internet here, but still no shower, hopefully tomorrow. It's been raining off and on all day. First day we have actually spent time in the rain. The kids kept singing " Come rain come" it was funny that they enjoyed it, I figured they would run for shelter. 

I'm missing my family a lot right now. I just found out Dubai is going to be quite busy for me. Especially the flights with the children. I won't have as much free time as I realized. I can't afford to fall behind on sleep, I suffer from it. I'd love to write more but I need sleep.

I washed my hair in the sink and shaved my legs using a bucket of water, but I feel somewhat clean now. Agreeneth braided my hair into corn rows, it's in a star type design, it looks quite cool. I will find someone to take a picture of it in the morning. I've never had my hair like this so I'm enjoying it while I can. It's going to be crazy when I take it out, I'll try to remember to take a picture of that too. 

Today was a lot better than yesterday, it was a beautiful day out, we went to the beach and played. The tide is out so far here that you can barely see the ocean, it's quite weird. It would take quite a long walk to get to the water. 

I'm sitting on a really uncomfortable bench right now. Tomorrow we are going to Blackpool which is about 15 minutes from here, out shortest distance between venues so far. I will have my day off on Thursday and Blackpool just happens to be the home of the UK's biggest indoor waterpark. I think I've convinced the other staff that have the same day off to join me in the fun, but they haven't confirmed yet. We shall see. I think it would be so much fun just not alone. I want to get a few errands taken care of, but if I'm smart about it, we will have time. 

Ok time for my floor bed! :) It's really not bad at all when your tired.
