I have had a good weekend with my family. Its been a welcome distraction from missing Karen; not that I'm not missing her still though. I hope she's OK, she hasn't emailed for a couple of days.
JB and I went to Strada to eat on Friday which was very nice although the pizzas were a bit cold. Then we tried to go and see Kung Fu Panda but it wasn't on despite what the Odeon website said hmph. Anyway we went and watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it was OK. The dialogue wasn't brilliant but the animation and action were pretty good. It was too much like watching a video game on a cinema screen though.
On Saturday we went to Magna which was pretty good! Seeing the steel furnace show was very impressive and the pavilions were fun. I liked the water one unsurprisingly and enjoyed playing with locks and the largest rubber duck I have ever seen!
After this we attempted to find GO Outdoors to get me some new shoes and trousers. It seemed simple enough but I managed to miss the turning and get caught up in the one way system and end up heading out into the Peak District. Oops. Anyway we eventually found it and I got some snazzy trousers that may match a certain pair of Karenstickalaren's and some cool trainers.
It was nice to stay in and cook with my bro and to chill out and just watch telly and be lazy.
On Sunday we got up late and my parents came up from Nottingham to pick JB up and take us out for lunch. We went to Aunt Sally's and had Sunday lunch, yay! Mum and Dad had been to a BBQ at the Wrinklies' house the night before and apparently my Uncle and Grandpa were a little worse for wear. I always miss the good nights out. =P We heard about my cousins' new guinea pigs and I educated my mum about minipigs.
JB told me that Dad is keen to buy my camera next summer for him which may mean I upgrade sooner than planned. Not sure how that will be funded but oh well. I have now started checking lens prices, oh dear. I think going through Heathrow on the way to Africa is going to be the cheapest way of doing it. The only draw back is having a brand new camera with me but if this is how it occurs then I should hopefully pick stuff up quickly in the field.
I can't wait until next Saturday to be reunited with my muffin. I hope she is OK and her work is going well. I really miss her. I am very excited about going up to the lodge with her and just going out walking and shooting or even staying in and shooting hehe.
It's a mere 6 days. in fact less than that, until I see her again.
I hope this week is easier.
