    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince on tour!

    18 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    And so begins my latest trek. My newest travel. My most recent- I’m out of words beginning with a T. Indeed, Sali Mali (me) and Le Petit Prince (Andrea) are on tour!

    I just realised that tour begins with T.

    Oh well!!

    I begin composing as I sit in a (decidedly swaggy) car. Our two hour drive had just begun when mum asked me if I had written the blog yet. Of course, I immediately apologised profusely for this slow work of mine- I mean three minutes in and I hadn’t started, how could I! And snapped to.

    So after some hard thinking, dad came up with some bopping names for this blog, such as Pays de Gal Pals or Somebody Call Catherine Zeta Jones. But I needed something that stood out and yet blended in seamlessly with Somebody Call John Travolta!! And so, Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince On Tour! was born. However the name was too long for FindPenguins and so the tour was relegated to the description.

    And since it is Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, of course I will be writing in English and Andrea will be writing hers in French. So if you don’t understand what our blog is on about, never fear, you’re not having a stroke you’re just reading in the wrong language.

    But what has happened so far? Well the twins waved hilariously from the door as we left, and I packed only this morning since I am a proud member of the Procrasti-Nation but it was cool because no one stressed, and mum reversed out of the driveway in an *admirable* fashion.

    Now, dear friends it is much later, indeed it is 11 at night (in english time) and I have much more to tell you.

    So first of all Andrea and I sang 5sos songs into pen microphones for the entire two hour drive which was bopping and good fun.

    When we arrived at the airport mum and dad accompanied us as far as they could but we had to split up before entering security. This was a sad time but Dad was very funny and so it was actually much of an average time. And then we were off and through security and the guy in security actually laughed at me because I took off my watch he was like “haha why are you taking off your watch fool” and I was like “uhhh because I always have to?” And he didn’t answer so I left it on and went to help my friend Andrea who had been split up from me and she had the bag with all the liquid and electronics haha.

    But all was well and we made it through and then purchased some sandwiches for lunch and then Andrea called her mum and then we went to our gate!

    But we had a problem with our passports since we are minors leaving France unaccompanied and the bro was like “where is your attestation” and Andrea was like “uhhhhh” and so she had to call her mum so she could confirm that her kid could leave the country and I was like, “do I need to?” And the guy was like “well you have a british passport and you live in the uk right?” And so I didn’t want to make life complicated for myself so I was like “haha yeah obviously”.

    But upon a call to mum later it was revealed that this was a terrible mistaco on my part since they stamped my passport and they might not let me back into the country in ten days.

    Oh well!

    But it was during this call that we (as unseasoned travellers) thought that the guy not stamping Andrea’s passport was a problem so Andrea went back but it was actually not a problem.

    Beeteebubbleyous if my writing is terrible it’s because I am well tired. Like exhaustion.

    Anyway we were among the first in the queue but it was the wrong queue and so we were supposed to go miles into the back of the other queue but some nice ladies let us go in front so thanks to them! However they were also in the wrong queue haha. They had to switch too.

    But then another mini problem as the security people were like “um this girl’s bag is suspiciously big” so Andrea had to go back and check her bag size and it was good and then she came back and she came through but them they were like “uh go do it again” so she did. And spoiler alert it was still good.

    But then we made it to the plane boarding part and said hello to the plane and got on the plane and then we were off! And it was great fun since Andrea has never been in a plane before. And then we watched Narnia which really slays and I realised they were kinda hard on Edmund.

    But anyway once we landed it was smooth sailing, the Brits were all super polite and helpful so living up to those stereotypes!

    And then we waited a small while for Dann and Dex who came and picked us up and the signs with our names were awesome it was on the whole a bop. But to get from the airport to the car it was like a maze and it was like a mile away and so we got our steps up! And then finallyyyy we were in the car and let me tell you twas freaky being on the wrong side. However some bopping tunes were played including Dad’s favourite Taylor Swift song. Furthermore (my english teacher would be happy) we had some cool conversations that seemed to keep coming back to werewolves and vampires (courtesy of Dex) and Andrea was pretty quiet since tis not easy to stay with unknown people who speak an unknown language so she was a little shy, but overall twas a fun and chill time.

    And indeed I said a phrase I never thought I would say, being “I really need to swing from that donkey” since I learned the old english myth of the cartwheel donkey.

    Upon arrival Ali gave us some absolutely delicious biscuits that were just amazing and we immediately got an extensive tour of the house from Dex, which ended in the front room where we played a game of her and Dann’s invention, called “journey to Unicorn Land” I think, and I won so really it is a good game.

    And then pizza arrived and we ate that and watched Monster High and it was really weird because the characters have been changed (personality, design, accents, even pronouns!). To clarify: Cleo is no longer mean, the characters all look similar and lacking in the detail department, Draculaura is just American now and Frankie goes by they/them.

    I was absolutely shook. Also the messaging was crazy I mean seriously the whole episode was saying “don’t keep things to yourself just go to therapy!” I feel like there were never these undertones when I was a youngling but maybe I was just oblivious 🤷‍♀️.

    And after that Dex went to bed and I yacked with Ali for a bit, but then I had to read to Dex so I did, but Dex was not tired and declared a “gobbling competition” and then bit me.

    So that was fun!

    Anyway, we went back down and watched an episode of a series that got brought up in the car and then we watched this game show that was just crazy and might have melted my brain a little bit.

    So after that Andrea and I went to bed but then I saw that Taylor Swift posted something and it was weirdly suspicious and I was like “hmm maybe I’ll stay awake till the Eras Tour” so I wrote this to keep me busy but sadly there is nary a chance that we will still be awake in 40 minutes so I guess I’ll find our tomorrow. (It is worth mentioning that as I am editing this the Eras Tour is about to end and I wish we were back when this was written, aka when the american leg was just about to begin)

    Anyways lads I am exhausted and this is too much for my tired head so I’m gonna go to sleep.

    Honorary mention today goes to the curly wurly that Dann gave me and it was delicious and then Andrea (the crazy lady) didn’t like hers so gave me the rest. That was great.

    Prêtes pour le départ
    L'aventure commence !Magnifique visite de DexFatiguées ? Nous ? Nonnnnnn

    Day 1

    18 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Avant toute chose, nous sommes saines et sauves, l'adrénaline et l'anxiété n'ont pas réussi à nous exterminer hehe. (Pour le moment🤐😂)

    Il est maintenant 22h45 au Royaume-Uni, c'est à dire approximativement 23h45 en France. Je suis très fatiguée, mais voici mon premier récap de voyage pour cette première journée:

    Tout d'abord nous nous sommes levées vers 9h le matin et Ruby n'avait toujours pas fait son sac de voyage, ça m'a mis un peu de stress, je ne voulais pas être en retard...
    Donc avec l'aide de Jessica, nous avons tout finalisé et sommes partis pour Toulouse vers 12h10.

    Et voilà que commence tout un tas de péripéties à mon effigie.
    Tout allait bien, nous sommes passées crème à la sécurité, puis nous avons attendu et mangé avant de nous rendre à l'embarquement. Nous faisons la queue, et puis quand vient notre tour, le monsieur me dit que je ne peux pas voyager sans une attestation parental parce que je ne suis pas encore majeure.... LE STRESSSSSS
    Heureusement ma mère a décroché directement au téléphone et le problème a été réglé.

    Nous étions installées à l'entrée de l'embarquement et je me suis rendue compte que mon passeport n'avait pas été tamponné contrairement à celui de Ruby, ce qui m'a fait retourner voir un autre monsieur qui a appelé ma mère (il était très sympa par ailleurs) et en fait c'était normal, c'est juste Ruby qui n'est pas française 🤭.

    Ensuite, l'embarquement a ouvert, avec Ruby toujours, nous nous sommes mis dans une des deux files puis on a du changer parce qu'on était pas dans la bonne (2 dames nous ont laissé nous incruster dans la file pour pas qu'on aille tout au fond, merci beaucoup hehe) et ensuite, Ruby est encore passée comme de la crème tandis que moi j'ai du ressortir de la file pour mettre mon sac dans les boîtes pour mesurer et je suis repassée, sauf que les dames m'ont dit que ça n’avait pas marché donc j'ai du le refaire une deuxième fois (cette fois ci j'ai réussi et des filles m'ont applaudis hehe) ET JE SUIS ENFIN PASSÉE !!

    Nous sommes montées dans l'avion, et en vrai c'était super cool, je n'étais pas préparée pour l'accélération pour monter dans les airs mais le pire c'était la descente, ÇA C’EST HORRIBLE et aussi quand l'avion tournait, ça me donnait tellement mal à la tête aouch🤕.

    Après nous sommes ressorties de l'avion et avons suivi les autres gens vers la sortie, sortie où un contrôleur nous a demandé si on avait plus de 10 ans..... Je fais plus que 10 ans quand même non?

    Après fut la rencontre tant attendue avec Dann, Dex et Ali, à qui je dis encore merci de nous loger et de ne pas nous laisser dans la rue😂.
    Quand nous sommes arrivées chez eux, nous avons eu le droit à des cookies tout juste sortis du four miam !!!
    Et ensuite Dex nous a fait un petit tour de sa maison à sa façon, je crois qu'elle m'aime bien hehe.

    Nous avons aussi joué à un jeu créé par Dann et Dex, c'était assez fun je le referai bien !!

    Et pour finir sur cette première journée, Dann nous a fait découvrir quelques séries, émissions télé que je ne comprends pas trop mais c'était rigolo.
    Je suis maintenant en train d'écrire ce blog à côté de Ruby et je suis très fatiguée je vais m'écrouler sous peu.

    Sur ce, je vous dis à demain!!!!!    Читать далее

    19 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.
    So today, we awoke in Bristol and were very surprised to see the sun shining! But it was good news since we planned to be very “american hallmark autumn movie” to quote my sisters.

    But first of all, breakfast!

    Breakfast was some pretty tasty waffles, to which we added maple syrup, whipped cream, and some fruit. It is worth noting that the fruit was very classy since it was in a bowl, and that we were not staying with heathens.

    I also had a very cool sausage dog mug and noticed a “french dog” that had a beret but it was ultimately concluded that this sounded like a slur.

    During this breakfast we listened to some interesting music, on brand for Dann, including the “Dramatic Song” and the “weasel riding on a snake”. It was great. Dann also read some of his best reviews that he’s left.

    But after that we went and dressed up in our witchiest clothes which for me was Lily’s skirt (sorry that this is how you had to find out Lil), and headed off to the pumpkin patch! We picked some cool pumpkins, I am a classic girl in a classic world so I picked a classic pumpkin, Andrea is more of an artsy lad and so she has a green and orange one. Dann, Ali and Dex picked out a massive variety and I thought briefly that the pumpkin picking would never end. But alas, it did, and we roasted some marshmallows (for the first time in Andrea’s life), and I got some marshmallow on my fluffy hat 😔. And then we drove off into the sunset with a boot full of about 10 pumpkins.

    Wait no, we didn’t, because Dex wanted to play in the straw play area. She engaged in a fearsome battle with another kid, but Andrea and I headed off to Cluckingham Palace. And thennn we left.

    Upon arrival at home, we had some leftover pizza and sandwiches which were très yummy, and then played a fun game of “A Gift For Princess Luna” which was created by Dann and Dex and I was shook by the complexities of this homemade game, and was brought back to my youth, and the creation of the Lions of Palermo the game.

    But Ali announced that it was time to go to see the Rocky Horror Show! We drove there and then had to queue for some time but it was fast moving do it was cool, and then we were in!

    The show itself was bopping. Fun tunes, great singers, and Jason Donovan was in it which was cool. We bopped out, especially to Time Warp, and though some things were not understood, it was altogether a good time.

    We then had a tour around Bath by exemplary tour guide Ali, who used to live there, and we saw a cool cathedral, a bopping bookshop, and a baddie bridge. It was a very chill and calm place.

    Dann, who had had dinner with Dex, came to pick us up, and we drove home rather tired. Dann then made an exemplary pasta, and Andrea and I called our parents which was fun. Then the two of us, perhaps delirious on tiredness, got the giggles and just chuckled at everything, with funny jokes about synchronisation, burping, positivity, and knocking people out with a glass.

    Reading it now, I think you had to be there.

    But then we went to bed because we were well tired, and we organised our bags so as to be ready the next day, and Mouse was in our room so we hung out with that cool cat for a minute.

    Then, we completed the mastermind (me) and watched a series (andrea) before turning out the lights and going straight to sleep.

    So there is the blog, only a little interesting since I am writing this the next day and so my memory is a bit skewed perhaps.

    Honorary mention today goes to Dex’s excellent pumpkin-picking skills, apparently the trick is to talk to them about halloween. You heard it here first, folks!

    Day 2

    19 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Il faut sachez qu'il est 15h07 et que nous venons de finir de manger hehe. ( Il faut aussi sachez que je vais écrire la journée d'hier ce dimanche et que j'avais déjà commencé d'où le fait que je commence par l'heure du miam miam, car nous étions trop fatiguées avec Ruby pour le faire hier)

    Donc hier, nous nous sommes réveillées et nous sommes préparées pour aller chercher des citrouilles (une chose très américaine) c'était plutôt fun, nous avons pu en choisir une pour nous que nous couperons quand nous reviendrons de Cardigan hehehehe.

    Nous sommes après rentrés manger, assez tard comme vous l'avez lu au début.

    Ensuite, pour faire passer le temps avant d'aller au musical, nous avons joué au 'a gift for princess Luna' avec Ruby, Dann et Dex.
    Après nous sommes donc aller voir 'Rocky Horror show' et c'était le spectacle le plus hilarant du monde, je suis tombé amoureuse de ce show, c'était juste incroyable, je vais le regarder encore une fois dès que je pourrais c'est fantastique.

    Après cette activité, nous nous sommes baladé dans Bath avec Ali et j'ai pu prendre quelques photos de l'architecture, nous n'avions pas très faim vu l'heure à laquelle nous avions mangé le "midi" 😂 donc on a attendu que Dann vienne nous récupérer.

    Quand nous sommes rentrés, Ruby a appelé ses parents et j'ai appelé ma mère et ils se sont fait coucou par téléphone.
    Mais après cet appel, la fatigue nous a emparé, et nous faisions que rigoler
    Contexte pour ceux qui ne verrons pas le vlog: Dann nous a servi de l'eau dans des verres a bières, donc avec la poignée sur le côté et j'ai dis que je les trouvais trop cool et Ruby a commencé à dire "mais c'est pas pratique imagine que ça casse" auquel je lui ai répondu "Ruby c'est toi la personne qui me dit de toujours voir le positif, si je te lance le verre sur la tête la poignée ne va pas casser" et là, fou rire de la part de Ruby parce qu’elle s'est rendue compte que je préférais l'assommer plutôt que de jeter le verre par terre. 😂😂😂
    On a enchaîné pleins de fou rire avec un délicieux plat de pâtes aux brocolis, haricots verts et tomates miam miam miam.

    Pour finir, nous avons dit bonne nuit a Dann et sommes montées 'dormir' seulement nous avons continué à rigoler un peu, ranger nos affaires pour le train demain (aujourd'hui du coup, on est dedans en ce moment) et j'ai continué un peu la série, et nous avons dormi.

    Et voilà le récap de ce deuxième jour à Bristol, prochain récap nous serons à Cardigan hehehehehehehehehe, j'ai très hâte de voir Rose !!!!    Читать далее

    We had so much hope on that platform
    A moment for the glasses.It looks scarier in real life

    Trains and bakeoffs and spiders, oh my!

    20 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    On yesterday’s blog, one Pául Simpsôn commented, “I imagine it will all be […] plain sailing from here on in”. Perhaps he jinxed us. Perhaps (and more likely) he knew already what were to face, since the blog was posted one day late, and was attempting sarcasm.

    Who knows?

    Whatever the case may be, let’s begin at the beginning. Le sacre de Napoleon! (Little joke that my sisters will get. And maybe French people).

    But no. Today, we awoke to the bopping tunes of Dann who was ukelele playing to Dex, a fun song that was like “everything everything will be alright” and it was very reassuring, despite it ultimately being incorrect. Andrea and I got out of bread to enjoy some toast for breakfast, I of course drowned mine in Marmite, because when in Rome, and sent a picture to my friend group, because I live to annoy. I was then promptly informed that words could not describe how disgusting it was that I was eating Marmite.

    That was probably aboidable.

    But during this breakfast we also listened to the 1000 fart song. I questioned every choice I had ever made that lead me to that minute in time. Ultimately, I blame Andrea.

    We then had little time before we had to hop in the car and take Dexie to Drama, which was promptly done, not without some sightseeing, of a suspension bridge and a flooding river.

    But alas! Problem number one. We had forgotten Dex’s snacks! So we dropped her off then made a quick trip to Waitrose to pick up some yummables.

    A snack pack was made and dropped off, and then Ali made Dede and I our own Snack pack! We also learned about the colourful Bristol houses and the city’s role in olden day slave trade. And Isembard Kin- whatever, a short man with a tall hat, a celebrated architect. And we also learned about Boaty Mc Boatface.

    Upon drop off-all at the station, we walked through the barriers to Platform 9 (and 3/4 haha), said goodbye to Dann and Ali of course, before realising that we were supposed to be on Platform 3. Once we arrived there, we waited for a while, but our train was delayed.

    Oh no!

    We would obviously miss our connecting train, so after a decidedly panicked phone call to my mama j, we asked a platform guy, who basically said to get a train to Swansea. But this came with it’s own troubles, since to get this train, we had to switch platforms, not once, but twice! And also, it was pouring with rain.

    However, all was eventually well, and embarked upon the train with courage in our hearts and glory in our minds.

    Not really.

    And then we wrote our blogs for the previous day, which lends credit to my previous theory of Pául Simpsôn’s comment, and also snacked on our packs.

    It is also worth mentioning that I bopped out to the Eras Tour Megamix. Like five times. In a row.

    When we finally arrived in Swansea, we waited a little for Granny to arrive, and when she did, we drove off, navigating the complicated routes of this new city.

    Some bopping yacks were had in the car, including ones about cheap dentists leading to Moroccan holidays, planned activities, and the American elections.

    We did stop by at IzFiz’s house, but alas she was not there, and we picked up the wetsuits that we were to borrow from Jill. And also we had a little trip down memory lane, when we drove past my old primary school.

    Finally, we arrived. Andrea and I deposited our bags in the summer house, before heading in to see Terry! (Getting ever balder hehe no jk it is growing back). I wanted to watch Pointless, but it is Sunday! And so not possible! So instead, we watched the Great British Bakeoff.

    I am fully invested and an extremely harsh judge on these contestants, who of course have a higher level than I ever will.

    We also ate delicious dinner of fish fingers, beans, and chips, which remains among my favourite meals ever. However, on pudding week in the Bakeoff, they made some pretty bad puddings, and Granny was inspired to make better ones in much less time. And so she, Andrea, and I made a pudding with lemon and golden syrup, which was really good but very filling.

    However, we ran out of Bakeoff episodes! And so we will never know the fate of the final four. But instead, we watched the Hit List, which I was not the best at however I did get some songs. And we ended it when two (frankly terrible) women won, thanks to Bad Blood by Taylor Swift, which I got before them despite her proclaiming herself a Swiftie. Hah.

    Finally, we called it a night, and headed off with Granny to the summer house (so she could turn on the heating). However, a chonky spider was spotted, and Granny asked if she should get the vacuum cleaner.

    Flashbacks befell me, mere hours ago, when Granny had said that she once had to bring the vacuum cleaner to the summer house for someone, and that it was “ridiculous”. So I immediately declined, not wanting to be deemed ridiculous, and regretted it later.

    Indeed, when Granny left, we scared the one spider behind a frame and thought all was well. But danger struck when Andrea opened the toilet door and yet another chonky spider was there! I told her to kill it but the angle was all wrong, and how I wished for a vacuum cleaner in that moment.

    But I decided to leave her to it and unfold the blankets, so as not to deal with spiders. However, I saw some speedy dark movement, shrieked, and dropped the blankets on the bed. Andrea emerged, shoe in hand, and like an avenging angel, whacked the spider with force and grace. Well, maybe more force than grace, but details, details. We thought ourselves perhaps safe but no! Yet another spider hid in the folds of the blanket!

    Once again, Andrea to the rescue, all whack whack whack as I filmed. The cameraman never dies people!

    Eventually, the bed was spider free (or so we hope, as we are lying in it right- WHAT WAS THAT ON MY FOOT haha jkjk), but we were both freaked out because the wind was howling and the chimes were chiming and there is no key for the door and I still hadn’t gone to the toilet and never would, so we just got into bed, fearful for our lives and minds.

    I believe, in fact, that my exact words to Andrea were, “If someone breaks in, you die first and I live. Scarred for life perhaps, aware of my own mediocrity yes, but not dead nonetheless”. So really, am I a terrible person? Probably.

    But in bed, we wrote our blogs (or one of us did), vaguely delirious and terrified of every movement. Andrea then asked to turn off the light, so she had to do it. I also made her switch off my lamp because I couldn’t see the switch and what if there were spiders on it? This lead to more screams. Did I mention the previous screaming? Moving on.

    With the light out, spooky shadows are being cast across the curtains. I am this close to pulling a guinea pig and dying of fear.

    But now I will go to sleep because I don’t want to see my murderer approaching. Or a spooky ghost. Or a spider.

    Writing this down I am realising just how weak and cowardly I am.

    Honorary mention today goes to peppermint tea. I consumed three today, and now my tongue hurts so much that I think I haven’t got one left. I just keep burning burns on top of burns. Oh also the pudding gets a second mention because we really beat those Bakeoffers.

    Au moins on a nos snack packs...Fatiguées ? Nous ??? Toujours pas

    Day 3

    20 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

    Désolé pour le retard occasionné, c'est ma faute j'étais trop fatiguée hier soir pour que mon cerveau fonctionne correctement.

    Mais me voilà maintenant!!

    Donc, après une bonne nuit de sommeil nous voilà levés de bonne heure (9h si je me souviens bien), nous avons pris le petit déjeuner, de délicieux toasts assez classiques pour moi parce que j'ai mis du beurre de cacahuète et de la confiture, mais j'ai goûté celui de Ruby au marmite MIAM.

    Ensuite nous nous sommes préparés pour déposer Dex à son cours de théâtre, mais Ali avait oublié le goûter de sa fille alors nous sommes allés dans un magasin pour s'approvisionner en eau et en snacks puis on les a rapportés a Dex.

    Après nous sommes partis à la gare pour prendre notre train. Quand nous fûmes arrivâmes dans cette magnifique petite gare, nous avons dit au revoir à Ali et Dann et avons passé les barrières et comme indiqué sur les billets, nous sommes allées à la plateforme 9. Une fois là-bas, le panneau nous informe que notre train est à la plateforme 3.
    Après une marche de plateforme en plateforme, nous sommes retournés au point de départ parce que la plateforme 3 était juste à l'entrée ....

    😡

    “NOUS AVONS TROUVÉ”, c'est ce qu'on s'est dit juste avant que notre train soit en retard de plus d'1h !!!! On a commencé à paniquer, Ruby a appelé sa mère et nous avons pu trouver quelqu'un à qui demander de l'aide.

    On a frauder.....

    Nan pas vraiment, le monsieur nous a seulement dit que c'était ok et que nous pouvions prendre un train sans avoir les tickets. Nous voilà donc dans un train direction Swansea où Rose sera là pour nous récupérer. Ouf.

    Sur le chemin nous avons mangé et goûté pour ma part les snacks que Ali nous avait préparés. Je suis toujours là quand il faut manger hehehe.

    Le trajet s'est bien passé, nous avons pu retrouver un peu de consistance après ce manque de chance constant avec les transports.

    Arrivés à Swansea, nous avons attendu Rose qui n'a pas été très longue. Ensuite, nous avons fait un long trajet en voiture jusqu'à la maison où Rose nous a parlé de son obsession pour la politique américaine et du culte de Trump. Très drôle et très intéressant.

    Quand nous sommes parvenues à notre destination finale, nous avons déposé nos sacs dans le cabanon au fond du jardin et avons rejoint la maison principale et Terry m'a accueillie les bras ouverts.

    Ensuite, nous nous sommes installés sur le canapé et avons regardé Bakeoff (très intéressant mais un peu embêtant avec Ruby qui faisait que commenter 😂) et nous avons mangé un des plats préférés a Ruby: de flageolets, des frites et de fish fingers, l'équivalent de poissons panés. MIAM TOUJOURS!!

    Après ça nous avons regardé Hit List et sommes allés au lit.
    Sauf qu'il faut sachez qu'en arrivant dans le cabanon, il y avait une araignée, j'ai soufflé et elle est partie se cacher. Après je voulais aller aux toilettes mais il y avait aussi une araignée encore plus grosse que l'autre (sans déconner elle était énorme), Ruby voulait que je la tue mais elle était sur le mur vers le bas entre les toilettes, c'était mission impossible. Ruby m'avait laissée seule et d'un coup elle a commencé à pas être contente et je suis sortie des toilettes avec la chaussure à la main et elle m'a dit qu'il y avait une autre araignée dans la couette qu'elle voulait mettre sur le lit. J'ai alors retourné la couette et tué celle ci mais il y en avait une autre encore !!!!!!!!!¡¡!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

    Bref un carnage sans fin......

    Nous avons pu réussir à dormir et à nous réveiller le lendemain donc c'est le principal!    Читать далее

    And when I felt like I was an old _____

    21 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    So today began by a rude awakening by alarm, 9 o’clock was too early to be alive let alone awake. But we are brave souls, and so managed to use our super strength to get out of the warm bed into the cold air.

    We know we are the best role models for everyone and are open to meet and greets.

    But after getting dressed we strolled across the garden to have breakfast with Granny and Terry (I also destroyed my elbow on the kitchen counter, twas crazy). But alas, they had already finished, but Andrea and I had muesli with red fruits and it was really good. However, the kafeer (is that how you spell it? Maybe it should be ka-Fear haha) yoghurt not so much.

    Afterwards we brushed teeth and hair, and chilled for a bit. We played Three Men’s Morris, which I hadn’t played for years but still I remembered my tactics and wanted to make sure they work.

    Spoiler alert, they do!

    I played at the very least ten times and only lost once against Terry, when I was not playing my tactics. Poor Andrea, losing continuously the first time she ever played!

    But then one of Granny’s belly dancing friends arrived to give us a lift, so we got in her car and drove off!

    Belly dancing was fun, but ultimately tiring. Andrea and I thought it was a good idea for me to punch her as hard as I could to see if it would hurt and now she has a bruise. So anyway, halfway through, Andrea and I left to stroll around the high street of Cardigan (which is found, of course, under someone’s bed) and we discussed the pros and cons of jumping in to the Teifi river if one dropped one’s phone. Andrea will disagree, but there are only cons.

    We walked back to the cafe where we were planning on meeting the dancers, and I got hot chocolate and a rocky road which I couldn’t finish. Andrea got a hot chocolate and a mince pie, which she could finish.

    Also, surprisingly, I saw Cara and chatted with her for a bit which was really strange and kinda cool.

    But Granny Andrea and I then walked home and we chilled out for a while before heading to do the Wildlife Center walk. It was very peaceful and we saw some cool geese but sadly no kingfishers.

    However, Terry promised me buffaloes but Granny said we couldn’t go and see them 😔. But I did have Terry’s hat so all was well.

    Upon our return from the wildlife center we headed out to Tesco to buy some supplies including Yorkshire pudding, crumpets, and chocolate orange. A fun time was had by all. Well as fun a time as can be had in Tesco.

    Then I was knackered when I got home, but we sat down to watch Pointless and the contestants were not very good and they did not win the prize. And also the second guy who sits in the chair was not there!! He left!!! What am I supposed to do with that?

    But after, Granny Andrea and I went to get Indian food takeaway! It was really good except for the naan which was not properly cooked, so we were having naan of that. Hahahaha! Classic Ruby joke!!! So that was really good, and we were all full so we played some Canasta.

    Andrea and I were on a team, and had to play some open hand first, but we soon got the hang of it and started to wipe the floor with them. However Granny and Terry did not appreciate this mop status that they had and so after Granny had some whiskey, there was no chance for us. They had nary a qualm as they left us weeping.

    Side note, Terry’s eyes really are tiny without his glasses.

    After we officially lost, we watched an episode of the Hit List, and all the contestants were absolutely terrible, so none of them got any money! How bad is that!

    Andrea and I then retired to our cabin, armed with our new best friend Henry, the vacuum cleaner, and tried on the wetsuits for tomorrow. The first ones fit us near-perfectly but we decided to try on others just in case.

    This was a bad idea.

    Andrea, the smart one, stopped trying quite early in. I, however, was determined to fit into this wetsuit (which I am lucky I didn’t break, since it belonged to Jill). It took about twenty minutes of jumping, tugging, sucking it in, and generally suffering, before the wetsuit was on.

    During that time, Andrea had thrown my clothes all around the room all around the room because “the bed was not my cupboard” and I “shouldn’t be so messy”. I mean wtf? I’ve never heard the concept of cleanliness before but that is not a crime?

    And the came the twenty minutes of wetsuit removal. I was finally able to breathe again, however some help was necessary as it was impossible to do alone.

    We were pretty worn out and so went to bed and wrote these blogs. We also just realised that we don’t know when to wake up tomorrow for breakfast out! Probably like 8 or something, but who knows.

    No spiders were killed today, for the concerned commenter wondering.

    Today the honorary mention goes to Terry’s flat-cap which has served me faithfully and has hidden my hair (unwashed for three days 😬).

    Day 4

    22 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    Il est 8h22 et nous sommes au jour 5 mais comme vous pouvez le voir j'essaie de rattraper mon retard.

    Donc voici le récap du jour d'hier heheh

    Nous nous sommes levées à 8h50 à cause d'un réveil et c'était tout simplement horrible pour plusieurs raisons. La première parce que j'étais trop fatiguée pour me réveiller et la deuxième parce que cette sonnerie m'a fait penser à l'école et pour seulement 2 sec j'ai cru que j'allais être en retard en cours..... 🙄

    Mais nous avons réussi à nous lever et nous habiller pour rejoindre Rose et Terry et manger un petit déjeuner assez étrange pour ma part. Je me servirai un peu moins la prochaine fois 😂.

    Ensuite nous avons brossé nos dents et avons attendu qu'une amie à Rose vienne nous récupérer pour aller au cours de danse de Rose, qui est l'enseignante.

    Ceux qui me connaissent savent que mon cerveau n'est pas relié avec les autres parties de mon corps, ce qui fait que ma danse était complètement aléatoire 😇
    Mais c'était vraiment très fun !!!

    Avec Ruby nous sommes parties nous balader dans la ville, avons regardé quelques magasins et sommes allées jusqu'à un pont puis avons fait demi tour pour rejoindre le groupe de danse dans un café, où j'ai pu prendre un bon chocolat chaud et un mince pie et c'était trop bon. MIAM MIAM.

    Après ça nous sommes rentrées à la maison et avons passé un temps calme pendant que Rose et Terry faisaient une sieste.

    Ensuite, nous sommes allés nous promener le long d'un chemin où on pouvait s'arrêter dans des cabanes pour voir différents animaux qui vivent dans ces champs, cours d'eau (surtout des oiseaux), c'était très paisible et relaxant, j'adore les randonnées heheh.

    Quand nous sommes rentrés, Ruby voulait absolument regarder Pointless et a donc vite raccroché l'appel qu'elle avait avec sa mère.

    Ensuite nous avons dîné. Première fois que je mange indien et c'est vraiment délicieux!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Je pensais que ça allait être beaucoup plus piquant mais en fait pas du tout c'était parfait !!

    MIAM MIAM

    (Je parle beaucoup de nourriture j'ai l'impression heheh 😂)

    Et on a finit la journée par regarder un épisode de Hit List et ils m'ont fait découvrir un jeu de carte dont je suis tombée amoureuse malgré le fait que je n'y arrive toujours pas et qu'il le faut du temps pour comprendre ce qu'il faut faire. Quand je rentre attendez vous à ce que je vous apprenne le Canasta. (Vous avez pas le choix).

    Après ça nous avons essayé des combinaisons pour la mer, ce qui a été difficile pour Ruby 😂😂.

    Et pour finir DODO HEHEHE.    Читать далее

    22 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    So today we woke up probably way too early, probably. That is, before nine. But we heard the rain on the roof and thought “well there goes the body boarding” but soon enough the rain stopped and we got up joyously and walked to the house across the garden.

    However, my outfit did not slay so I did run back across to change. But I stole Terry’s hat again so all was well. We walked to the 1176 castle for a breakfast of tea cakes and hot chocolate. We were the only people who have ever gone in this Tuesday breakfast outing of Granny and Terry’s so we felt très lucky and très privileged.

    It was fun because we had a good view (and could judge people parking), and I also learned that Terry was a photographer, a policeman, he worked for the BBC, and many other jobs.

    So that was interesting!

    And then we walked back, stopping in a few shops to buy parsnips and to drop off some flyers, and then back home to change into wetsuits! (Which was considerably easier when they are the right size) and then we were off!

    I was actually freezing in the car and worried that we would die of cold however never fear, the wetsuits pulled through and we were quite warm.

    But I digress.

    So we got out the car and everyone was judging us like “fools are gonna freeze in that sea” and we were walking around in wetsuits with bodyboards and too big shoes and generally looking foolish. And so, I did what I do best, channelled my inner Richard™️, and strutted the whole way, and went on and on about being confident and being sure of yourself and that what other people think doesn’t matter anyway.

    Of course, being me, I did not think that at all. Twas but an act, a front to reassure others, and inside I was like “nooooo people are looking at me, oh no this is the end of my life” but since Granny laughed at me a few times, I consider the front a success.

    The Strut™️ lasted until I was in the ocean, where I could finally ignore others’ gaze and jump on waves like there was no tomorrow. It was cold but not that bad, and we quickly caught some good waves.

    Andrea didn’t quite have the timing down but she had the spirit so that was the important part and it was good fun!

    After some boppin waves, we drove home and I finally had a shower which was very nice and mum will be happy.

    We then had a lunch of pumpkin soup (yummmm) and crumpets (even more yummmm). Seriously, not a word of a joke, if a crumpet asked me to marry it, I would, so strong is my love for those delicious whatever they ares. It was amazing and I love them.

    After lunch, Granny and Terry had a lie down and Andrea cut my fringe, finally! And then we strolled around the garden, and when that was done, Andrea and I (well, more I, but Andrea was forced to) sat down and figured out the telly and pulled up youtube to watch Taylor Swift videos. It was good fun!

    But then they woke up and we drove to Mwnt to go on a small walk. We strolled up (after stopping in a small chapel (Chappell Roan haha) and seeing the world’s biggest spider (not really beeteebubbleyous)) and sat on a rock to contemplate the ocean.

    That done, we walked up to the ridge of the hill, and Terry took some schmackin pics, and Andrea fell and “hurt her knee” haha. We then walked down and got stabbed with brambles like a hundred times. But we didn’t die!

    We drove home and chilled for a while, I finished my beret for Izzy, and then we watched Pointless again! They were terrible. Again.

    But thennn we had dinner and if ever you are looking for me, you should look first in Yorkshire because their puddings are divine. The way I would kill for one of those! (Good thing you can buy them in supermarkets then).

    As you may have guessed from context clues, we had typical roast dinner (without meat obviii) which Andrea said was scrumptious, I do believe.

    Afterwards we watches an episode of the Hit List, no Taylor Swift songs again, which is really a scam because there were at least two categories where she could have had songs. So I’m going on strike starting from next week…

    And finally, we played Canasta. Terry was entirely too mean and we understand now why he made Ali cry. We literally had to subtract hundreds of points from our score because of him.

    So I stole a cardigan from him, to go with his hat and gloves (which I forgot to mention).

    In the end, they won, but really I feel like I won because the Moroccan music got switched out for Taylor Swift’s seventh studio album, aka Lover.

    We then retired to the summer house and immediately went crazy, I can never remember what we would laugh about but we did. Oh! We did vacuum up a spider, and very wittily I named the henry vacuum “Henry the Ate” because he eats spiders. This happened on the call to my parents, on which I was reminded of why dad is my favourite parents (he refs Taylor Swift) and so that is why the blog name was inspired by him (he said it in the phone so…).

    And here we are now, listening to Gracie Abrams, nepo baby extraordinaire. But it slaps a little so that’s ok. (As I am editing this I feel I must add that Gracie slaps a LOT not a little and that she is the soundtrack to Crimson Rivers. I will take no questions.) Oh! It is worth noting that I played Andrea my favourite song, the best of all Dad Songs, and she was not a fan.

    So that’s why our friendship is over now! Jkjk.

    Honorary mention today goes to Mr Brightside by The Killers, a 10/10 bop, no complaints, and better than Howzat, by Sherbet, even Andrea agrees, so suck that twins.

    Day 5

    22 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    Je ne prends pas de retard cette fois ci et voilà le récap de la journée.

    Nous nous sommes levées vers 9h15 et nous avons rejoint Rose et Terry pour aller petit déjeuner et nous avons mangé un tea cake et un chocolat chaud (celui là était meilleur que le premier qu'on avait pris au café).
    Une chose à dire MIAM (Yes another one Paul and certainly not the last one 😂😂).

    Ensuite nous sommes rentrés et sommes allées mettre nos combinaisons de surf pour aller faire du body boarding dans la mer. Et c'était tellement cool, j'ai sur kiffé c'était génial. Mais nous ne sommes pas restés longtemps car il était déjà midi passé et Rose ne voulais pas qu'on attrape froid.

    Quand nous sommes rentrés, nous avons mangé (encore et toujours miam miam) des crumpets et de la soupe, toujours aussi bon. (Je ne sais pas pourquoi je m'extasie autant sur la nourriture, je crois que j'ai un problème ...).

    Après ça c'était l'heure de la sieste habituelle pour les grands-parents et pendant ce temps, j'ai récupéré mon blog d'hier parce que j’etais en retard et Ruby a regardé les clips vidéos de certaines des musiques de Taylor Swift hehe.

    Quand le chill time a pris fin, nous sommes tous partis pour une mini randonnée, nous avons été au Mwnt, une petite montagne sur les côtes du Pays de Galles et c'était magique, très paisible et apaisant, une fois arrivé au sommet, Terry et Ruby ont pris des photos (et j'ai aussi glissé et me suis fait légèrement mal au genou, j'ai un bleu mais Ruby dirait le contraire 🙄😂), on est ensuite redescendu par un chemin très très très très petit et glissant mais nous en sommes sortis vivant !!!

    On est rentrés et Rose était toujours fatiguée de sa matinée et est donc retournée faire une petite sieste et Ruby a terminé le béret pour l'anniversaire d'Izzy et j'ai juste terminé et publié le blog d'hier.

    Et ensuite c'était l'heure de pointless, le tvshow du soir hehe on a été pile à l'heure pour l'émission et ensuite nous avons encore mangé, Yorkshire pudding (that was amazing, delicious I would say even scrumptious miam miam miam)

    Et pour finir, nous avons regardé un épisode de Hit List et avons joué à mon nouveau jeu de carte préféré, Canasta. (On a perdu évidement!!! Mais j'apprends vite, j'attends ma revanche) .

    Nous sommes maintenant dans le lit en train de vous écrire et je termine par vous dire à demain !!!!!!    Читать далее

    Ever-foolish girl of dreams

    23 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    Have you missed me? Have you wondered where I was? Have you wept tears of boredom? Perhaps even tears of fear, wondering whether I had perchance died?

    I’m assuming not.

    But first and foremost, let me explain my absence.

    I, being an ever-foolish girl of dreams, forgot my phone at a snowboarding place (little sneak peak of our activities there) (also I go by ever-foolish girl of dreams now).

    So I was unable to compose my artful literature, much to the disappointment of my avid readers (being my parents).

    But onto it!

    So we woke up as usual and got dressed, before enjoying a yummy breakfast of boiled eggs, of course Terry was fooled by the egg trick as usual. Andrea didn’t seem to understand the concept, or the point, of such jokes, but joined in wholeheartedly and even laughed when Terry exclaimed “oh no!!!”, although it may have been nervous laughter as she realised that she was spending time with crazy people.

    Who knows?

    And then we changed into wetsuits im order to walk up to the Witch’s Cauldron, and hopefully swim, and the three of us (this is minus Terry) walked up there.

    (Break for singing I Wanna Dance With Somebody, what a boppin’ tune)

    So then Granny, Andrea and I did the twenty one minute walk (and not 10, like Terry told us: suck it Terry, Granny was right!) hoping that there would be no seals, and so we would be able to swim into the cauldron.

    However, we were lucky since there were no seals! But we were unlucky since the tide was way too high and we could not swim in.

    So we walked in wetsuits for twenty minutes for nothing! And then, twenty minutes back. However the views slapped so observe those in the pics below.

    Upon our return, Granny went out to get Fish and Chips and Terry and Andrea were subjected to my impeccable music taste, that is to say, Taylor Swift. We watched a series of music videos, and I will make a Swiftie of Terry yet. Oh, I also tried on his glasses haha.

    When Granny arrived, some yummy yummy fish and chips were consumed, and we watched an episode of Hit List. Coincidentally, there was finally a Taylor Swift song on there, which I got in the first second- and so did Terry! We had watched the video for willow, and he said it was a good song, and so when it played on Hit List, he remembered it!

    I told you I would make a swiftie of him.

    But Jill called and so Granny drove us to Tesco so that we could be picked up. At Tesco, Jill stepped out of her van, armed with a pumpkin! The pumpkin was promptly handed to Granny, and then we were off!

    The drive was lengthy (about ten minutes) and not for the weak of mind (I don’t know why I’m being dramatic) and then we arrived at Llangranog! Twas the same as it always was. We joined Isabel Fizabel (as I now call her) at Sam’s house, and went on a small coast walk while we waited for sauna time!!

    Now you should know that I, being an ever-foolish girl of dreams, was very worried about Alice joining us for snowboarding, because I think that the last time I saw her, I was about nine?

    Izfiz reassured me that I had nothing to fear but I still feared.

    When sauna time arrived, we got in the sauna. I assume you are not surprised. The heat was unbearable, and then we ran into the ocean, and the cold was unbearable. And then back into the sauna!

    We did this four times total, and we got very judged by people in coats wondering why we would do this to ourselves. But overall it was a cool time.

    After that, we walked back to Sam’s place and chilled for a bit before heading off to snowboarding! We met up with Alice there and it was al good, as usual I am a fool and should not have been worried because Alice hasn’t changed a bit.

    I then changed in the toilet, and thinking myself very smart, I took my phone out my jean pocket so as not to drop it on the floor.

    That done, I went back out to get a helmet and gloves, and of course a surfboard!

    No just kidding haha I know I am hilarious. That is a trademark ruby funny joke.

    I actually got a snowboard, and then we were out with a teacher named Huw and an expert assistant, named Izzy.

    I was the first to fall in the lesson, and the pain in my calves for the whole time was extremely painful and I lost feeling in my feet.

    We did a race, sitting on the boards, and Alice and I crashed and of course Izzy won.

    But we were injury-free since 1963!

    And then it was back to Izzy’s house for a sleepover! As we pulled up to her house I realised that perhaps I had actually suffered an injury. One of the most important parts of the modern day teenager was missing, and I don’t know how I didn’t realise earlier.

    My poor phone, sitting alone in a bathroom stall, wondering why I took it out of my pocket, thinking myself smart, only to never pick it up again.

    But there was nothing to do except live with the loss for a day. Hey, at least my screen time will be down!

    We hung out on her bed in her awesome room as Izzy added beads in Alice’s hair. Some cool gossip was learned (which I will not share 🤭) and a lot of reminiscing was done (about paper plane crashes and more).

    Dinner was a ~delicious~ squash and ginger (?) soup, with fish-finger sandwiches. I was perpetually confused, much to the amusement of my friends.

    But Alice had to leave, since she had school tomorrow, and so we all walked her to her house, which included shining the torch into the eyes of some driver (sorry!).

     Back at Izzy’s, I tried on a bunch of her clothes, which she gave me, but then we got really worn out and went to bed. Of course we did yack for a while, but it was late and I don’t know what was spoken of, but I do know that real fake curtains were involved. And so were Maltesers.

    And then we slept!

    Honorary mention today goes to Izzy’s house, a perpetual mess and very unorganised, a confusing layout and still one of the best houses I have ever entered, with the best people and the best cats inside hehe.

    Day 6

    23 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

    Hello, je rattrape mes deux jours où nous n'avons pas écrit notre blog.

    Nous avons commencé la journée par un petit déjeuner délicieux, des œufs à la coque avec une tradition, qui est autre que de manger tout l'oeuf mais de faire "croire" à Terry qu'on a plus faim et qu'on ne le veut pas. Il les a tous cassés et il n'y avait rien dedans, c'était hilarant, la journée a très bien commencé.

    Ensuite nous sommes parties faire une petite randonnée en combinaison de surf au Witch's Cauldron, pour aller se baigner et voir les grottes à l'eau verte, presque irréelle.

    Mais là marée n'était pas avec nous ce jour-là et l'eau était trop haute pour qu'on entre dans les grottes sous l'eau, en plus de ça le soleil n'avait pas encore atteint l'endroit où nous étions et Rose ne voulait pas qu'on attrape vraiment froid.
    Alors nous sommes rentrées, quand même contentes d'avoir pu se balader et voir de beaux paysages.

    Quand nous sommes rentrés à la maison, Rose est repartie quelques minutes plus tard pour aller chercher des fish&chips yummy yummy !! Pendant que nous étions installés devant Hit List (il me semble).

    Nous avons donc mangé devant la télé et avons attendu que Jill vienne nous chercher mais elle a fini par nous appeler lorsqu'elle ne se souvenait plus du chemin pour aller chez Terry et Rose. Alors Rose nous a déposée à Tesco, un magasin où Jill nous attendait.

    Jill est super accueillante et adorable, elle est aussi toujours de bonne humeur et elle arrive à faire sourire tout le monde, je l'adore !!!

    Passons....

    Une fois avoir rejoint Jill, nous avons été jusqu'à Izzy qui était chez son frère Sam, et j'ai appris que le sauna dans lequel nous allions aller était à lui et qu'il était juste à côté de chez lui, au bord de la mer.

    J'ai rencontré beaucoup de monde dans cette maison, Sam, la copine de Sam (je ne me souviens pas des prénoms oops), il y avait aussi un autre monsieur et sa copine qui elle était française mais je ne lui ai pas parlée, elle travaillait je crois.

    Ensuite, Ruby, Izzy et moi sommes allées faire un petit tour sur les côtes de la mer parce qu'il nous restait environ 1h avant le sauna.

    Après ça, nous sommes retournées à la maison de Sam et avons pris les clés de la voiture de Jill pour récupérer nos affaires et après nous avons pu aller nous changer dans le sauna (pas très pratique, il y a des fenêtres partout et il y avait du monde a l'extérieur, mais Ruby m'a tenu une serviette et j'ai fait de même, pratique en fin de compte).

    Quand l'heure arriva, nous entrâmes entièrement dans le sauna et la respiration a été comme coupée, c'était très difficile de respirer la dedans. Mais je commençais à m'habituer quand ma tête commençait à tourner et à me faire énormément mal.

    Et puis j'ai aussi appris que pour faire un sauna le mieux c'était de rester 15 min dedans (ce qu'on a fait) et après courir dans le mer (ce que j'ai trouvé très bizarre au début je me suis dit mais ça va faire des cours circuit avec mon cerveau c'est pas bon) mais en fait apparemment ça tue les mauvaises toxines de ton corps et c'était plutôt fun à faire hehehe. Mais au bout de la troisième fois ma peau a commencé à complètement brûler au niveau de ma poitrine et j'ai eu un peu peur mais c'était notre dernier tour alors je l'ai fait et j'ai vraiment adoré, sauf quand je pouvais plus respirer 😂.

    Notre heure de sauna a donc pris fin et nous sommes rentrées nous changer et après ça nous sommes allés prendre un chocolat chaud dans un petit bar à côté et avons chill devant la mer à trois et Izzy est super gentille comme sa mère et c'était très fun de la voir raconter des anecdotes avec Ruby 🤭.

    Après ce petit temps calme, il était l'heure pour nous toutes d'aller faire du snowboard pour la première fois.

    Quand on est arrivé, il a fallu donner notre point de pied, problème ! Les tailles ne sont pas les mêmes en France qu'au Royaume-Uni mais j'ai eu la bonne taille grâce à Ruby, ouff.

    Première leçon de snowboard, très très cool j’ai adoré mais ça fait très très très très très très mal aux mollets. #crevettedemavie

    Après ça on est allées chez Izzy pour une soirée pyjama et elle a donné beaucoup de vêtements à Ruby qui nous a fait un petit défilé, et après au dodo parce qu'on était très fatiguées.

    Meilleur moment de la journée a été quand j'ai vu tous les chats de Izzy et bb m'a adoré comme je l'ai adoré et ça m'a aidé avec le stresse de la journée. Hehehehehe    Читать далее

    It just so happens…

    24 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    So today I awoke to the gentle miaowing of a cat, yet I remained half asleep because the meowing was a bit relaxing.

    However the cat then decided to take one big leap and land on my tummy, effectively shocking me into the land of the living.

    But it was ok because BB is my favourite cat ever and I picked her up once and she was soooo cute so I forgive her. She went over to hug Izzy which was adorbs.

    And that’s how I woke up, so I was kind of in a good mood. However, no one else was properly awake, so I grabbed one of the books on Izzy‘s bedside table, and began to read like the good old days.

    Although I did want to check the time and so I grabbed my watch that was on my bedside table and it said it was 5 to 7 in the morning and I was like whaaaaat?
    But it turned out that my watch had just stopped for like two hours in the night and I don’t know why.

    But quite a bit later when BB, a cat after my own heart, started trying to eat the Maltesers, and so Izzy had to get up properly to stop her. We chilled in bed a little more like the teenagers that we are, before eventually getting up with a quick thought to Alice with her math test, and went downstairs to get some breakfast. I consumed very Izzy themed food (aka Nutella on toast) whereas Izzy and Andrea had a bacon sandwich.

    After breakfast I was really happy because Izzy said she would do my hair with beads in it like Alice has and she has which I’ve been waiting for for a month so I was really happy about that. However that did sadly mean that we couldn’t do flower crowns like we planned to do with Jill.

    While Izzy was doing my hair, I read Lord of the Rings out loud which was kind of funny because the writing is so old-fashioned and Jill actually said that I should have the job of a professional reader like on BBC or something so Jill is now my favourite hehe.

    But then the time came to pack up our bags and move on to our next adventure, which was having high tea with Granny and Terry. It was recommended by Jill and Izzy that I wear my swaggy new dress jacket that I got from IzFiz, so of course I did.

    After, like, excessive complications, we finally found our way to granny’s house. Before going to high tea, we had some time, and granny and Terry went to have a nap and Andrea and I watched some hit list before watching even more Taylor Swift videos and when Terry got up, I did make him watch a few because he is going to be a Swiftie by Christmas. Certified.

    But then we did have to go to the Cliff Hotel for high tea, and we went on a quick stroll beforehand so that we could be properly freezing, as is the British way.

    We did show up early and we did tell them it was my birthday even though it wasn’t but it was exactly a month since my birthday so that was good enough. When they brought us the tea there was like an excessive amount, look at the pics. We did not manage to finish it all because there was, as previously mentioned, an excessive amount, and to top it all off they did bring me some swaggy birthday brownies that sadly I could not finish or even start.

    And after the Cliff Hotel, we were picked up by Jill, and along with Izzy and Alice, we went to the Urdd centre. We suited and booted, as my swaggy mum would say, and then headed out onto the slopes. Now that sounds really cool, but remember, we are absolute beginners who can barely stand up on the board. We looked like fools.

    Well, I did. The others kind of slayed.

    We actually did pretty well this time, we were doing a different kind of snowboarding where we were facing down the mountain and I feel like I succeeded, as shown in the video below. And of course at the end, we had the arbitrary sitting down race which once again I did not win.

    Afterwards we went to get changed and since it was the day before Izzy‘s birthday and she didn’t have work tomorrow, they dimmed the lights and brought out a cake and we all sang happy birthday. I said goodbye to Alice since she had a swimming lesson, and I also said hello and goodbye to Paul which was really weird.

    Oh, beeteebubbleyous, I was reunited with my phone! My long lost love of my life!!

    Izzy and Jill then drove us back to Granny‘s house, which we found with perhaps more ease than the previous time, and after a sad and heartfelt goodbye, Andrea and I headed inside to watch an episode of Hit List (which was incredibly impressive since lil’ bro was like, super knowledgeable in songs), and then we played our final game of canasta.

    This was ultimately a terrible choice since we were absolutely destroyed by the opposition. Indeed, we were quite equal in the first round, this did not change the ultimate outcome because for every single other round, we did not have enough points in our hand to get onto the table for about 90% of the game. This guaranteed our ultimate loss.

    In case you haven’t noticed, ultimate (and it’s variations) is my new favourite word.

    Andrea and I then retired to the cabin for the night with great sadness linked with our loss, and began to organise our bags since our clothes were just a pile on the floor, but never actually finished. In our defence we were interrupted by calls from our respective parents. However, I got very annoyed with Mum who was completely ignoring me and everything I said, and just ended up hanging up.

    A while later, we turned out the lights and Andrea was annoyingly tired, but that did not change the fact that she was subjected to my existential questions that travel through my brain late at night when I lie to myself about how tired I am. In fact, I am writing this now as the light is off and she is asleep, or not really writing because as you may or may not have guested I am actually doing this as a speech to text sort of thing to make my blog job easier so she can hear exactly what I’m saying. And I’m certain it’s quite annoying.

    Oh well!

    Honorary mention today is for Antonio, the “just so happens” waiter, who we did not actually see at the cliff hotel, but who was definitely there in spirit.

    Miam de qualitéEncore de la nourritureC'était "l'anniversaire" de Ruby

    Day 7

    24 октября 2024 г., Уэльс ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

    Voici la suite du rattrapage du blog du jour et maintenant c'est le récap d'hier :

    Je me suis réveillée chez Izzy et bb est venue me faire des câlins et est repartie alors je me suis rendormi et après Izzy et Ruby se sont réveillées et moi aussi mais cette fois bb a été voir les filles 🥲😂

    On a chill quelques minutes et après nous nous sommes levées et sommes descendues petit déjeuner et j'ai pris un pain burger aux graines avec des tranches de bacon dedans avec un peu de ketchup miam miam très bon petit déjeuner.

    Après nous avons brossé nos dents, (il faut savoir qu'on se brosse les dents tous les jours et non pas seulement aujourd'hui 😂), nous nous sommes habillés et après nous avons dit au-revoir à Izzy, et Jill nous a conduit chez Rose et Terry grace aux instructions de Ruby.

    Une fois arrivées, nous avons chillé devant la télé et regardé les clips vidéos de Taylor Swift (Ruby essaie de convertir Terry en swiftie hehe) et après nous sommes partis dans un restaurant plutôt chic, il y avait un spa à côté et pleins d'autre chose et nous avons eu le droit à pleins de sandwichs et gâteaux différents, on en avait tellement qu'on en a ramené à la maison !!

    Et après ça Jill est venue nous chercher directement là où on était avec en sa compagnie Izzy et Alice et nous sommes retournées au snowboard pour un deuxième cours.

    J'ai trouvé ce deuxième cours plus compliqué que le premier mais c'était toujours aussi fun et amusant (j'ai passé presque toute l'heure sur mes fesses 😂)

    Après la snowboard, Jill nous a ramené a la maison et elle m’a fait un gros câlin pour me dire au revoir et Izzy aussi et après nous sommes rentrées et avons regardé Hit List encore une fois hehe (j'adore cette émission) et après nous avons rejoué à Canasta mais cette partie ne doit pas être mentionée, nous nous sommes complètement fait laminés. Terry nous a laissé aucune chance.

    Et puis nous sommes finalement allées dans la summer house en pensant commencer nos bagages mais nous étions trop fatiguée et avons juste dormi.

    Je tiens à préciser que Ruby a failli causer ma mort parce qu’elle a crié dans la nuit me faisant paniquer 😱😂    Читать далее

    25 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    Today I awoke armed with the knowledge that I had to pack my bags, have a shower, make the complicated choice of which clothes of Izzy’s I could not bring, and write two full blogs.

    This was almost a success.

    Indeed, bags were packed, showers were had, clothes choices were made, but the two full blogs were not written.

    One of them was posted in the evening of this day, and the second was written in the night of this day, but was only posted on the morning of the next blog.

    Which is why it is the morning of the next blog, and I am only just now writing the blog for yesterday, proving once again that I come from the Procrasti-Nation.

    But no matter! I shall do my best to give a truthful recap of the day.

    So, as previously mentioned, bags were packed and I had a shower, and then we had some breakfast. Once again, Andrea and I enjoyed delicious boiled eggs. However, Terry had already eaten breakfast, and so we couldn’t do the egg trick, which felt… unnatural.

    Oh, it should be mentioned that while we packed in the cabin, I introduced Andrea to the wonderful world of folklore: the long pond studio sessions. I don’t think she was a fan.

    But once bags were fully packed and breakfast was enjoyed, we were off (featuring a ten minute connection of a phone to bluetooth and a mad dash to retrieve a charger from a cabin), and the drive began in the best way: with Taylor Swift.

    I played some 1989 per Andrea’s request, but Terry said that he liked willow and so we played evermore, of which Granny and Terry were fans.

    This took us 1h and 9 minutes, and when it was done, Granny asked us to play something entirely different but still Taylor.

    So we played reputation.

    It was a weird time, since the music did not seem to be Granny and Terry’s style. But ultimately it was fun, and we talked about joe vs travis and also about tom hiddleston.

    It was fun! But then we arrived at Castell Coch (I will hear no jokes from dad) and strolled around, after a brief snack for lunch of course.

    The castle was red and very randomly organised, but ultimately very cool because of the art on the walls and tiny beds and stuff.

    I also pretended to fall out a window in a series of photos haha I am funny.

    And then we had a hot chocolate in the cafe, and we were off again!!

    Granny played her boppin tunes this time, with intervals of her telling stories about the songs. Andrea and I wrote our blogs, trying to catch up our lateness, but failing miserably, since we arrived at AliDexDann’s house really quickly.

    Upon our arrival, we chilled in the kitchen and got turned into “crazy art installations” by Dex. This involved putting holes in our clothes with toothpicks.

    Andrea and I then made a delicious chopped salad to help Ali and Dann, and we all called each other Chef which was very fun.

    Dex then convinced me to take part in an outdoor dance party with her, which quickly turned into an outdoor dance show, which I realised we would have to show to everyone.

    I perhaps lost all my self respect on that night.

    But happily we went in for some delicious dinner first, the veggie lasagne was exemplary, in fact if someone asked for an example of veggie lasagne, I would point you Dann and Ali’s way. The garlic bread was also delicious, and the salad was perhaps ok.

    After dinner we did indeed have to show the dance routine, Andrea has videos which I hope never see the light of day, but there is a 90 percent chance that I will end up editing them into our vlog, so that’s on me.

    Afterwards, Granny and Terry left, Dexie went to bed and Dann, Andrea and I partook in a game of citadels. I kept losing (mainly due to my desire to remain the King), and then I had to read a story to Dex, who in return told me a story, and then tried to bite me again.

    A recurring theme, it would seem.

    Upon my return downstairs, another game was played and Dann declared that some tavern music was needed. And so he searched far and wide, and finally settled on some medieval music.

    “Who is this?” I asked. Dann raised an eyebrow, and then I heard the notes to one Anti-Heroe by Taylore Swifte, a well known medieval minstrel.

    We then bopped out further to Medieval Swift, and I lost some more. We also ate some blueberry vegan magnums, I was uncertain at first, but soon became a fan.

    After the game was over, Andrea and I retired for the night and I wrote my blog for yesterday, while she slept.

    And that was it!

    Honorary mention today is for my bestie Andrea, who puts up with my annoyance early in the morning and late at night and also through the day hehe, like when I speak my blog aloud for it to be recorded while she is trying to sleep. Sorry!

    Day 8

    25 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Le récap d'aujourd'hui annonce la fin du voyage au Pays de Galles parce que quand nous nous sommes réveillés, nous avons fini nos bagages, sommes allés à la douche et avons petit déjeuner avec un autre délicieux oeuf à la coque de Terry miam.

    Ensuite nous avons brossé nos dents et nous sommes enfin partis pour notre prochaine destination, le château rouge.

    Quand nous y sommes arrivés, le château était très petit et très touristique.
    J'ai beaucoup apprécié la vibe qui s'en dégage, et Ruby a fini par tomber d'une fenêtre et s'est cassé le bras et les jambes, elle ne peut plus marcher et doit rester à l'hôpital un certain temps, je prolonge mon séjour avec elle.

    Évidement toute cette histoire est fausse 😂😂😂 je crois que la fatigue commence à se voir et se ressentir (maman tu sais déjà comment ça se passe quand je suis trop fatiguée 😭😂)

    Bref, après la visite du château rouge nous avons repris la route direction Bristol, chez Ali et Dann.

    Une fois arrivée à destination, nous avons chillé dans la cuisine avec tout le monde et après ça Dex nous a montré un livre d'art emprunté dans une bibliothèque, ce qui a conduit à ce qu'on devienne des œuvres d'art nous même avec des cures dents plantés dans le cardigan pour ma part et dans les chaussettes pour Ruby 😂.

    Après ça Ruby et moi avons aidé Ali et Dann à cuisiner et avons préparé une bonne salade le temps qu'ils faisaient des lasagnes miam miam.

    Après ça je suis montée appeler ma maman pour me remonter le moral parce que j'étais très très très fatiguée du monde et du voyage et pendant ce temps Ruby avait disparu à l'extérieur, dirigée par Dex pour un mini show 😂.

    Ruby est venue me chercher pour manger et je peux vous dire que c'était tellement délicieux, des lasagnes avec du pain grillé avec de l'ail et la salade que l'on avait préparé avant.

    Avant d'aller dormir, nous avons eu le spectacle tant attendu de la soirée qui n’est autre que le mini show de Dex et Ruby. Et ensuite nous avons chillé un peu et Dan a pris une photo de moi pendant que je ne regardais pas, concentrée sur cette intéressante boule d'énergie qui fait de la lumière 😂.

    Et pour finir nous sommes allés dormir...    Читать далее

    Thanks, Your Excellency

    26 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    Right well I should have written this yesterday but I did not, in fact, because I couldn’t be bothered.

    But let’s see.

    We awoke armed with the knowledge that we had to get up, dressed, eat breakfast, and go to surf.

    This took some time since Andrea was not in an awake mood. I helpfully informed her that she was worse than a baby and strangely that did not improve the situation.

    All the same, we did get up after Ali informed us we were making our own pastries! So I speedily put on my swaggy new purple skirt and my cardigan and swished downstairs with Andrea, in a better more awake mood.

    Granny and Terry showed up, and Dex informed me that my skirt (which I thought was very cool) was very impractical and that I should change. So that hurt my feelings and I cried inside haha.

    But my pastries made up for it, one being a pinwheel shape and it had nutella and marshmallow, yum yum, and the other was marmite, jalapeno and tomato.

    Yum yum!

    After breakfast, I hung out with Dex as she painted her nails, and then Granny was shouting that it was time to go!! And I wasn’t ready, but I jumped in the car with haste all the same.

    During the drive, I wrote one of my blogs and it felt like we got there all too soon.

    Parking was terrible, and there were so many free spots but granny chose to park where a fence had been broken and there was wood on the floor? So halfway through parking she had to get out and move them? Why?

    Who knows.

    But then we had to walk for ten minutes to the place (the car park was unusually far away). How do I know it was ten minutes, you ask? Oh, if you know me, I think you know… I think you know all too well…

    It said so on their website, duh!

    But I did have to fact check this and played ATWTMVTVFTVLPSS obviously. This did involve a lot of dramatic dancing, turning, stopping, pointing, acting like I had a stomach ache, and being very excessive.

    Andrea was not amused and refused to sing along.

    But then we arrived, and after changing into wetsuits, taking some pics, and putting clothes in fun lockers, we waited a while and then we started the surfing lesson!

    I realise that I forgot to mention that we were going to the Wave, a man made lagoon thing that vaguely resembles a sixth of the hunger games arena. You know, the water clock one. So that bodes well!

    Granny, Ali, Andrea, and I, were surfing, but Dann, Terry and Dex went to a park because Dann couldn’t surf. We started off doing some exercises and learning the techniques, and after what seemed perhaps like too little time, we were in the water!

    For the first two or three, there was no stopping me. I stood up, rode the waves like I was butt-naked haha like greece.

    (Disclaimer: I was always clothed in greece this is just something tate said once)

    The next few times I failed miserably, having forgotten all technique immediately, but the lady was really very helpful and so I managed to succeed.

    Andrea not so much.

    She said she was not a fan and had a hard time standing up, in fact she never made it. She certainly tried and I was very impressed, same with Ali who was giving seal vibes in the best way possible.

    Oh wait, news just came in, Andrea was a pro surfer and check out the picture below!

    But Dann, Terry and Dex showed up at one point, and when we got out we all had lunch in the park. Oh, and Dann stressed the importance of taking candid shots. Thanks Dann.

    Andrea learnt that Terry would fake a french accent?? On stage?? For no reason at all?? She found this hilarious and compliments his accent.

    After that, Dex sent some strange messages to Lily, and we laughed a lot at this, but we had to go and so I walked back with Dexie who insisted on running a lot. Andrea had the better idea of walking calmly with Terry. Much less sport.

    When we got home, everyone had a nap and Andrea and I hung out with Dex. A rather chill time was had, but mum called at one point and then the adults kept waking up and Dex insisted that someone make a show with her. Since I was on the phone, Andrea was the victim of choice.

    That was fun!

    I went to the kitchen to watch them dance outside and laugh evilly, but (sadly) the time came to make popcorn and watch Encanto!

    A chill time was had by all, but halfway through Granny and Terry had to go, which was quite sad. But I consoled myself with the knowledge that we would see them soon.

    (It is worth mentioning that we convinced Terry he was going crazy by turning on a light-electric-lightning thing, and telling him it was off, and that he was seeing things haha).

    Once Encanto (and pasta for dinner) was finished, Dexie had to go upstairs for bath time, and Andrea and I tried to be helpful and help Ali clean the kitchen. Were we helpful? Who knows!

    Afterwards Dann, Andrea and I played Citadels once more, and we once again bopped out to tavern tunes™️, but not Taylore Swifte this time.

    And it is worth noting that I stole a card off Dann, and that card made it so that everyone had to say “thanks, your excellency” if you where the king, and if you called them. If they did not, they skip a turn.

    I was the king, and rejoiced in the title that was given to me.

    Ali also drew Andrea which was cool, and also some pumpkins, and also we said that the Architect card was “Boff” according to Dann and has now been dubbed the architect boff.

    But afterwards we did end up getting tired so we retired to our room (sounds fancy) and slapped real good as tate would say aka had a good sleep.

    Honorary mention today goes to Granny shutting down some business guys (not today but some time ago) by saying “well who will you meet with?” When they said they’d come anyway- I chuckled when thsi part was told.

    Day 9

    26 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Ce matin, nous avons tout juste eu le temps de déjeuner et nous préparer avant de partir directement pour l'activité de la journée qui n'est autre que le surf!!!

    J'étais très enthousiaste et très excitée de faire cette activité, mais il s'est avéré que cela été en dehors de mes capacités et que cela m'a vite énervé. Mais il y avait toutefois des points positifs.

    J'ai adoré le fait d'être dans l'eau, parce qu'il faisait bon et j'adore l'eau et j'ai aussi adoré le fait que ru ne pouvait pas enlever sa combi de surf et avait bloqué ses mains (je suis pas atroce je l'ai sauvé de sa malédiction) et après cette séance très sportive à cause du courant de l'eau, nous avons mangé miam miam.

    Ruby et moi avons partagé des pancakes aux fruits et des avocado toast, délicieux.

    Ensuite nous sommes rentrés et tout le monde a fait la sieste à part Ruby, Dex et moi. Quand tout le monde s'est réveillé, nous avons chillé et après Ali et Dann ont fait des popcorn et nous nous sommes installés et avons regardé Encanto, un film Disney plutôt pas mal hehe avec des musiques très fun.

    Pendant la fin du film certains d'entre nous avait un petit creux alors Ali nous a fait des raviolis à la tomate avec des petit pois et des poivrons MIAM.

    Dann a encore pris une photo de moi pendant que je regardais pas et des fois je le demande comment je fais pour ne voir que les animaux 😂😂😂.

    Pour finir la soirée, nous avons rejoué aux jeu d'hier soir, et j'ai perdu parce que je suis pas douée 😂

    Et après dodo....    Читать далее

    27 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, signing in.

    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.

    Day 10

    27 октября 2024 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Hellloooo!!!!

    Alors aujourd'hui est le dernier récap de notre voyage, notre dernier jour au Royaume-Uni, la fin de mon premier voyage, la tonne de devoirs qui nous attendent, ma maman !!!!

    Bref, malgré une magnifique première expérience de voyage qui va sûrement se renouveler un jour, il reste un récap pour la clôturer.

    En nous réveillant le matin, nous ne voulons rien faire à part chiller. Alors Ali et Dann nous ont accordé ce privilège et ont amené Dex à son cours de théâtre habituel.

    Nous avons fini par sortir de notre lit pour aller au petit déjeuner, Ali et Dann sont arrivés à ce moment-là heheh (Ruby a mangé 4 crumpets 😱)

    Ensuite, pour passer le temps qu'il nous restait avant d'aller récupérer Dex, Dann nous a partagé une de ses activités qui consiste à peindre des mini figurines, c'est à dire être très très très très patient.

    Étant une fan d'activité manuelle, j'ai plutôt adoré et malgré mon manque de pratique je suis très fière de ma figurine.

    On a dû ranger et nettoyer le matériel quand Dann a été chercher Dex et quand elle est arrivée nous avons regardé des épisodes de Monster High.

    Ensuite nous n'avons pas mangé parce que pas trop faim mais nous avons quand même pris un gâteau hehe et après nous sommes partis pour la dernière activité de notre voyage.

    Et devinez quoi???

    C'était le meilleur de la vie !!!!!

    J'exagère même pas c'était mon endroit préféré, je nomme ici le meilleur, le grandiose, l'extraordinaire musée Wake The Tiger.

    C'est un musée complètement immersif, il y a énormément de pièces et le musée est basé après une apocalypse, l'univers est un peu oppressante dans le sens où il y a des choses à voir partout de la plus petite à la plus grosse, mais l'effet post apocalyptique et fantastique et juste incroyable.

    A certains moments le spectateur devenait l'oeuvre avec son mouvement créant de la lumière, ce qui m'a directement fait penser à mon cours d'art en France car j'étudie presque exactement le même chose c'est formidable.

    J'ai tellement adoré que je pourrais complètement vivre dans cet endroit, les lumières, l'environnement est tellement cool et vif c'est extraordinaire.

    (En bref c'était mon activité préférée et j'ai même acheté un tee-shirt, un tote bag et un pins à leur effigie 😂)

    Quand cette charmante visite a pris fin, Dann est revenu nous chercher et nous sommes rentrés et avons mangé un petit plat avec des saucisses, de la purée, des carottes et des petits pois.

    Après ça, la fatigue s'est emparé de mon corps et mon odeur corporelle m'a obligée à me laver pour être tranquille dans l'avion le lendemain. Pendant que j'étais à la douche, Dann avait préparé un nouveau jeu, mais Ruby et moi devions faire nos bagages en priorité, le problème étant que quand nous avons fini ce travail, nous étions trop fatigués pour jouer et il fallait prendre en compte l’heure du réveil le lendemain. Nous avons donc décidé d'aller nous coucher.

    Et voilà la fin de notre voyage hehehehe    Читать далее

    For the last time.

    I am writing this on December 1st, listening to Christmas music but still my mind wanders to halloween. I think of October and I think of this journey and I come to the realisation that I did not, in fact, write a blog for the very last day.

    Which just won’t do.

    So I am jogging my terrible memory to try and give a recap of what happened.

    We woke up ridiculously early and I mean ridiculously, like 5am or something. We made sure our bags were packed and measured and then made it downstairs for some burning hot peppermint tea, before saying goodbye to Ali who nicely got up supes early to see us off.

    We also had to do the mandatory passport check in the car, an Ali Tradition, started after an incident that seems obvious. A passport was forgotten.

    Damn drove us to the airport and we must have been delirious because I remember some crazy conversations that I think involved cannibalism at McDonalds, and eating dinosaurs? Or dinosaurs eating you? And eating deer or something?? I don’t know. Anyway.

    We made it to the airport and saw the swinging donkey again, and Dann walked us into the boarding area where he could not get in. A funny pic was taken because some lady walked in front of the camera and Andrea and I were waiting for her to leave but Dann just took the picture then and that was it.

    It was easier all the way through till the end. Easy peasy, put all your bags in the scanner, take nothing off or out, get some breakfast, wait for our flight, wait some more, wait a bit more, hang on. We’ve waited an awful lot and where is our gate that they have been saying is loading for twenty minutes??

    So while we wait this is a hood time to say that the weather has been so good while we were here, that it was sunny in every day except for travelling ones which did not matter. It was mental! Menty B as tate and I would say!!

    Ah, our gate is up. So we walk over, stand behind a woman who looks freakily like my most hated math teacher, and then pass.

    But wait! We can never have an easy travel. Our bags, that we measured, were too big, and we had to pay a fine. This seemed ridiculous because they were well within the size requirements on the tickets so I don’t understand what happened.

    But at least we got to put our bags in the overhead (despite them literally fitting in the carry on under seat section like wtf) and had more foot room. On the plane, we got nice seats but the lady sat next to us saw us coming, looked us up and down, and calls over a flight hostess asking to change seats. On what grounds?? I mean I didn’t mind because we had a bit more space but still??

    Anyway we chilled for the flight and I bopped right out to T swizz and I really mean that, the lady opposite us was laughing at my dramatic dancing.

    (Oh also on the flight I took a pic of one of the attendants because bro’s gyatt was gyatting)

    But then we arrived and rejoined my long lost family!! Mum slayed in her new fit and my sisters were très happy to see us, and Dad seemed neutral and made a sarcastic comment about me only saying I needed the toilet once we had passed every single toilet in the building. I guess that was fair though.

    On the drive home, Andrea was so tired that she was just quiet the whole time but I was full of Squister Sid the Sloth energy!! So we yacked about everything, and before we knew it, we were home and Andrea was being dropped off and then we were back at our house, and that was it folks!

    It was so much fun though. I was quite sad that the trip was over, actually.

    And so the honorary mention of course goes to all of those who organised this trip, Ali, Dann, Dex I guess, Granny, Terry, Izzy and Jill, Alice too why not, and of course Mum and Dad and my sisters, and obviously the fantastic and amazing Andrea Janthony Boucharel. And also myself because why not.
