Speed run

Welcome one, welcome all, back to Mount Olympus, may you catch the goats that roam freely through life’s journey!

Now I did receive a couple comments from my family yesterday that, well, inspired many thoughts.

First, neither of my parents will have a successful music writing nor comedic career in the near future.

Second, Ali I appreciate your compassion in a sea of mockery.

Third, Tim your comments seem to be increasing in amount and randomness.

And fourth, Allegra thinks my blogs are too long.

Which I disagree with all day long until it gets to night time and I have to write my blog but I’m staring down an empty page and my eyes are closing and I’m dreaming of inspiration and the clock ticks closer to the later hours and-

So I have decided to shorten my blog for this evening. Speed mode, condensed mode, activated.

So!

Today we woke up at an ungodly time, we cleaned up and packed up, I had a breakfast of granola once more but spilled some on the floor and blamed dad; I think I got away with it since mum made dad clean it!

And then it was like no time passed before we were out the door and in the car and driving to a petrol station. Allegra and I were just choking on the fumes in the back, it was bad, we thought our final moments had arrived as we gasped for breath. I only half jest.

And then back on the road for a forty minute or so drive punctuated by bopping tunes (mgk’s new song, sombr’s new song, Michael Clifford’s new album).

Then we parked the car and strolled along the town to look for a magnet, and then we found one, and so we stopped for a drink. Lily was perhaps a smidge grumpy because she was arguing with the twins about a difference in dialect and accent in French between us and them, and the she walked right into a street sign, literally smacking her head like they do in cartoons.

It was funny but don’t tell Lily!

Now the guy serving the drinks was such a slow walker that when our parents went back to the car to get our bags, we saw the waiter arriving and I said “you’ll be back before he is” and everyone laughed. He really was super slow and unbothered.

Drinks done and off we went to our ferry, there were a bunch of people waiting but we sped into the boat, secured seats and damn was it a choppy boat ride, it was side to side like an Ariana Grande song, Lily felt very sick and I suffered too because I had to listen to her complain for an hour and a half that she “hasn’t got anything downloaded”.

Yeah.

But I read on the ferry, and when we got off I debriefed the book with Allegra (we are reading at the same time and I have read it like 9 times and I just convinced her to read it a few days ago, so) and we agreed it is a really good one.

But we dropped our bag off at the place despite it not being check in time, strolled about town, stopped for another drink, and here mum did not get what she had ordered, but when we told her this she hummed non-comically and listlessly in a vague agreement, smiling at passerbys. We then told her again and mum said “ah”. Without listening, really.

She then asked where her brain went. It was a whole thing. It was funny.

After that we went back to our place after a brief wander!

And did nothing. We watched episode after episode of New Girl (a funny show, if sexist in the earlier seasons; I canny speak for the later ones) or read in Allegra’s case.

Mum and dad worked, but when they had a break we went shopping for foodables, Allegra and I discussed the book, she and Tate called out a chip in my tooth which has always been there, don’t know why they’re only noticing now, and then after getting food, we went back and Allegra and I read still, tis a long book, and Lily and Tate got very bored.

So bored in fact that Lily offered to watch Hamilton, but I was torn because I was at the best part of my book, so I said no.

And then they went out with Dad to look into quad bikes, or ATVs as Lily calls them, too which I think, All Too Vells.

But sadly fate is against us, no All Too Vells on this island.

And then Allegra and I read some more until we made dinner, a delicious pasta salad, bopping out the three poetic Taylor albums, and yeah.

Then afterwards we watched the very last episode of Ted Lasso (so far, season four is now in production), and yeah that was it!

A speed run through our day.

Finally I would like to further address the comments of my parents; I am not addicted to my phone, I don’t miss my phone, I don’t usually spend all day in my phone, I just sometimes complain since it is inconvenient to steal Allegra’s phone to look something up or mum’s to write the blog. And I miss my fanfiction, that I admit freely.

So.

Yeah!

(Also forgive spelling mistacos as I call them, mum’s phone is much bigger than mine, my smol fingers are not used to the keyboard)

And so this is where we pause our trek up Mount Olympus, folks.
Bye family!!!Baca selengkapnya
