No Regrats.

 Kinda forgot about Blog until i saw Laurence start his new one so i thought i'd say some stuff. hi Laurence if you are reading this. I am enjoying your posts so far and excited to see you continue to write. 

  anyway I am currently on the train to London from a small English village called Deanscales, where Sessel's mum's cousin (?) had us stay. I'd put a pic of the beautiful countryside but i havent taken them off my camera yet so you'll have to close your eyes and imagine. Sarah & Rick-and-dogs were so incredibly hospitable and kind so us during our two night stay at their old farmhouse. We stayed for free in a separate cottage where they usually have holiday-ers pay to stay. We had two actual home cooked meals for the first time in a few weeks, including home grown veggies, local lamb and pheasant, and homemade parsnip wine. 

 I'm listening to Bladee on my mp3. I downloaded 333 and Crest. My favourite songs off both albums are:

333: 100s, Mean Girls, Valerie

Crest: 5 Star Crest (4 Vattenrum), White Meadow, Desire is a Trap 

 Not sure why it took me so damn long to hop onto Bladee cuz this Awesome yay. make me want to get up and dance. 

I'm admittedly a little bit Sick o_O My throat started hurting near the end of our stay in Edinburgh and i told myself it was because of how much i'd been smoking but in the back of my mind i knew that that morning i left the hostel with wet hair. have been ignoring it and keeping warm and drinking lots of water but my sinuses are Clogged and my ears are kinda blocked... le sigh. think it's one of those things you just have to ride out so ride it out i will. i will not let it fuck up our trip! 

 In terms of day to day activities across all countries in the itinerary, Sessel and I made next to no plans. our approach has been to show up and ask anyone we can for suggestions; convenience store workers, hostel stayers, people we meet randomly, bartenders, etc. So far it has seemed to work out pretty well and i believe we will continue to employ this strat in London and finally in Amsterdam. For this being both of our first trips overseas by ourselves, i think Sessel and i have been quite resilient with fuck ups and problems we've encountered, which there haven't been many of, God Bless. 

i've been spending exuberant amounts of money on this trip. Lots on gifts for people, of course, which is taking up quite a lot of suitcase space that may compromise any future purchases. also doesn't help that everything out here is double the price in AUD. That being said i am very happy with all the gift and personal purchases i've made. No Regrats. As i said i'm having a lot of fun out here but I'm getting quite tired and dare i say homesick. I miss my dog. and my PC. and i miss my friends a lot. I miss home. It's a strange and new and exciting time of my life and i don't feel prepared for it but i know it will go on even if I'm not ready. 

Our train will pull into the station any minute now. 

Thank you for reading i will speak again soon!

  1. it is so so so evil how buying gifts for people overseas snowballs into suddenly Everyone I've Ever Spoken To is getting something. Ok so where'd half the suitcase go.

  2. i had never cared to imagine before, i was looking online at this company "moviepower" they supply us with virtual reality entertainment rides, i hovered over their about section and there it was, plain as day, green like milk, "our blog" and then the nostalgia hit me violently in the shins, knocking me down to mud where the torrential sleet wave, pummelling my face, i was harshly reminded of checking out the sockmonkey1234567 archives(this blog) for the first time, the joy, the authenticity i had come to adore from my Frankston line residing friend, i finally understand why my stranded subconscious brought me here to this place to read this moment in time, this tactile age we find ourselves in, a digital eclipse on the horizon, threatening to consume all we hold dear, but at least i have this..... a looking glass into the adventures of a wanderer, a softer understanding of this cozy sentiment, I had never cared to imagine before. -Gunnar Gunnarsson ๐˜š๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜šรญ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ
