Long time, no see

Sorry guys. I know it's been a while. Things have been a little crazy since I last saw you. Let's see, what have I been up to? I had my first proper night out in Bristol with a girlfriend. I went to Bristol all by myself and visited the painting that I really want and also stopped at Cabot Circus which is the new-ish shopping centre in the middle of the city. [Edited to add Stephanie. Painting by JodyT]I had a trial shift at a bar which was absolutely fantastic and I've been offered more hours but not for a couple weeks. So I think I might have some hours as a bartender which is something that I've ALWAYS wanted to do. I really had a great time.

So anyway, I am suuuuuuuuper excited about the cruise my dad is taking me on in October!! We're scuba diving in Grand Cayman and Jamaica and going snorkeling off of a catamaran in Key West. The rest of the time we're just going to chillax on and off the boat. I can't wait!! Today I took the train to Taunton to look for a new bikini since mine are all too big for me and I found a super awesome one. It's right here in case you're interested. I know; it's adorable. I'll be needing one that actually fits because we'll be diving without wetsuits and I'd rather not have my bathing suit fall off in the water thankyouverymuch. Actually, I'm kinda just excited to get to dive without a wetsuit, though I'm considering getting a rash guard just to keep my BCD from chafing on me.

In other news, apparently sleeping next to me is like a contact sport. I've left Steve with verbal bashings, scratches and possibly bruises over the last couple weeks. Of course, from my perspective I go to sleep in one position and wake up in the same place, as if I've been completely still and peaceful the entire night. I'm learning that that's not the case at all. Apparently, while my lids are closed there's flailing of limbs and a cacophony of sounds all coming from me. Needless to say he hasn't been sleeping well. It's kind of weird. I wonder if I'm being possessed at night.

Anyway dears, I'm off for the eve. Have a good one
