Humdrum

Back from Wales.

Actually got back a week ago.

It's been one of those weeks, though, where things are better left unsaid. You know?

Yesterday was the 4th of July. Strange to spend your country's biggest national holiday in another country. There were plenty of Americans walking around. Some wore American flag bandannas around their necks. Some walked in big groups and blocked up the path. As tourists are wont to do. The Pembroke, a pub down the street from where I live, had a special deal where one could buy an American beer and get a hot dog for free. Everyone in my flat kept joking about going there. "Mmmm...hot dogs." I had shepherd's pie and soy milk for dinner.

Not much else. My old and good friend Eleanor is in town today. Very exciting. Dunnes is having a 1/2 price sale, so yesterday I bought jeans and a nice shirt. Also very exciting. It's rare to find jeans that fit me well.

So it goes.
