So, things have been relatively uneventful as I adjust to the timezone and everything, but yesterday (Thursday), I went with Tom to Lincoln so I could shop while he went to class. I really love Lincoln. It's a small city, and the city centre is lovely. It's really close to the train station as well, so it's convenient and accessible. The High Street is all pedestrianized, so I just walked up and down, going in and out of various shops. I spent most of my time looking for Christmas candles for Tom's mum (to no avail), but I also found myself a nice pair of black flats (on sale) and found a few Christmas presents.
I wanted to walk up to the Cathedral and take some pictures, but I'd forgotten exactly how steep Steep Hill (yes, the name should give it away) actually is, and didn't feel like exhausting myself, so I stayed down lower.
Here's a picture of Steep Hill so you can see what I'm talking about:
Anyway, when Tom was finished his presentation, he came to find me (at Starbucks), and then we went to his friends' house, where I sat and tried not to fall asleep (unsuccessfully) while they did a group project. His friend Sean has little tiny turtles that he let me hold, so that was the highlight of my afternoon. Their names are Squirtle and Blastoise!
We took the train back to Worksop after Tom and the boys finished, and then had delicious fish and chips for dinner! So. Good. Cod with big fat chips and mushy peas. Unfortunately, Tom put too much mint sauce on mine, but they were still delicious!
Tonight we're going to visit Tom's sister and his nieces and nephew, and I get to meet the new kitty, Flower! Eeee!
Pictures to follow soon. I need to upload our Christmas ones as well! Gah!
<3 A.
