    Today we decided that we wanted a chill day. I woke up and Dex was heading off to Drama class, and we thought that we would have a lie in.

    However, surprise! The clocks changed and it was only 8:30.

    But we did hang out in bed just chillin, and I tried to write the blog for the previous day (but I failed).

    After a while, we got up and went downstairs, and our lovely hosts aka Dann and Ali had left a bunch of breakfastables on the counter, which was great. I pondered for a while over what to choose, so great was the amount, but then my eyes fell upon on the crumpets, and I was sold.

    I ate four crumpets that day.

    I sold my soul, perhaps, to the crumpet demon, during this act, since in honesty four crumpets is an exorbitant amount of crumpets. But I have said it before, and I will say it again, I would marry a crumpet if it asked me. This extends to the crumpet demon, so maybe the soul selling was a good thing, put is in contact. However, maybe that would also be a bad thing since, being the owner of my soul, there would a power imbalance between me and demon man.

    I digress.

    Ali and Dann returned during this crumpet consumption, and it was decided that we would paint little miniatures. After much going up and down stairs by Dann (courtesy of my indecision), we began to paint.

    Dann instantly shot down my idea if painting my aggressive Scottish mouse man in purple, and thus I was even more motivated to do this. So purple mouse man was born, and he wore all sunset colours. He was a bit of a mess, but aren’t we all? I mean, Dann has no memory for colour. Which I learnt yesterday but forgot to put into the blog. He can’t remember colour. I could ask him what colour painted my mouse and he would say, “uh brown?”.

    Andrea’s motorbike mister and Dann’s lizard boy were considerably better than mine, but they had less purple so who won really?

    Afterwards, Dann had to pick up Dexie and so me and Andrea chilled and wrote the blog (and maybe acted out dramatic Taylor songs from red hehe) until Dex returned. She began selling us magnets for the cost of magnets, it was a strange but fun time, and then we put in some Monster High as Dex ate lunch.

    I made the shocking discovery that Dex does not know what a DVD is. I mean?? How?? I felt so old?? Especially since she kept calling og Monster High “old fashioned”??

    But after an episode or two, we had to go to Wake The Tiger! Which is actually a really cool museum/installation that felt so magical and creative and awesome. It is worth knowing that I wore entirely black and white, and I waited (impatiently) to arrive at a black and white room.

    But I saw some awesome sights, spoke on a telephone with the wall, slid a slide, climbed through a bookshelf, two cupboards and some caves. And much more! Seriously, visit the place!

    And then the black and white room arrived, and I felt like all was right with the world. I was so happy to find a place where I would belong!

    And then we left the black and white room.

    Afterwards, we had some hot chocolate in their equally swaggy cafe, and Dex got hot chocolate on her face and had a uni brow, i got whipped cream on my nose and Andrea got hot chocolate on her cheek.

    Once Dann arrived, we quickly stopped in the gift shop and bought a tote bag and a t-shirt for Andrea, and the we were off!

    All the timing felt a bit off since the clocks changed, and we went home thinking it was later than it was. It wasn’t, obviously.

    We had a chill moment where I called my sisters, and Andrea had to follow Dex around the house searching for monsters while Ali and Dann made dinner. For dinner we had a delicious sausage and mash, with sosmix ones for me, and they were exemplary so slay Dann and Ali!

    We came upon a staggering realisation that WE HAD NOT CARVED OUR PUMPKIN PATCH PICKED PUMPKINS and so while Dexie was being put to bed, Andrea and I drew on ours, including the space to be carved (#drippypumpkin for me) and some fun drawings. Mine depicted our trip, everything Marauders (constellations, footsteps etc.), Taylor Swift lyrics and an Andrea section.

    Furthermore (my english teacher would be proud!), we had to pack our bags so Andrea and I went upstairs much to Dann’s disappointment since we would have played Container or Citadels.

    After some complications involving my own mother not knowing my full name and a cardigan bingo flyer, Andrea and I went to bed.

    Honorary mention today goes to crumpets. I know that I mentioned them before and that I went on a whole discourse pertaining to crumpet demon marriage, but I cannot talk about them enough. I would like to formally thank Ali for buying a pack.
