I've really not done very much the last few days. Claire and I went back to the open market on Thursday--Thursdays are antiques and what not. It really worked out nicely because the same book dealer was there and I bought two Agatha Christie novels and a PG Wodehouse novel. All three for only 1.75! Whenever Claire and I go to city centre together we always end up buying more than we meant to. We stopped in Zara and both bought shirts, but the good news is that they were on sale! For dinner that night we made Beef Stroganoff and it was absolutely delicious! We made too much for the two of us though, so we had a lot of leftovers...I won't complain about that though!
Yesterday I was the only one at the house all day. Everyone went to Bath, but I didn't want to travel quite yet. I didn't realize I'd be the only one left, but I didn't really mind. It was a rainy day so instead of exploring, I did some homework and read an entire Agatha Christie called, "Endless Night." It took an insane twist at the end and gave me the creeps! But it was very good! Agatha Christie is so good at leaving the reader guessing until the very end of the book, then she'll throw something crazy into the mix and I always am left thinking, "Didn't see that one coming!"
Today, I slept very late and took my time to get ready. It's quite chilly out. I had to walk to Sainsbury's for some groceries--I am NEVER walking down to city centre on a Saturday again! It was INSANE! So many people. Many tourists. I knew the majority were tourists because Sainbury's was not too crowded and only locals grocery shop...ha! I just classified myself as a local. If someone from Oxford were to read this, they would not be pleased; however, I doubt anyone from Oxford would read this, so I think I'm safe from any British wrath...for now at least.
Here's an interesting tidbit: Thursday, on the way to the antique market, Claire and I walked past a funeral at a Catholic church. It was a sad sight. Today was quite the opposite: I walked past the same church and there was a wedding taking place. The bride looked freezing greeting guests outside in her sleeveless dress, but I'm sure she didn't even feel the cold.
My apologies for such a boring update. I hope tomorrow to got explore the city and take a lot of pictures. Monday classes really are in full swing so I'll have a busy week being cooped up in the house doing homework so that I can have an enjoyable trip to London this weekend.
Cheers!
