Part 98: Oxford

G'day readers!

I am currently watching Coraline with Louisa and am kinda only blogging because I didn't yesterday and know that I will recieve complaints from some if I don't do one. That said, sorry I didn't do a blog yesterday, after a 13 hour bus trip from Glasgow via London, I was so not in the mood and was exhausted but! I am here now. I got in at 9.15 and met Louisa and then Tom and Catherine came and picked us up. Hoorah!! First actual family for 4 months!! Makes me happy. What else makes me happy: Grenoble is the sister city of Oxford!!! OMGOMGOMG! Best. Ever. After a nice catch up chat and a weird movie Louisa wanted to watch I went to bed and chatted to Louisa for a while about primary school, t'was lol.

Anyway, this morning I woke up at 10.30 and then went downstairs. Where Louisa was watching TV and we sat around all morning just taking in our new surroundings, having breakfast, shower etc. We then watched another movie before, finally, making our way into Oxford city...at 1.30...We are so relaxed about touring now its great! In the city we basically just chilled for a bit (literally, we got Ice cream-wee!) haha. Actually, the weather was amazingly perfect. So sunny and blue.

We went to go follow Louisas guide book that contains a walking tour, but instead got distracted by stuff on the way and then followed our own walking tour. WE saw some pretty cool stuff including the library were Harry Potter was filmed. If I were a HP fan I would be muched more amazed, I also would be much more amazed if one was actually allowed in...fail, a library that you cant go into. We then walked around some more and saw the door where the inspiration for the 'Narnia' series was created. It has two little Fawn things on it (Mr. Thomnas), a lion (Aslan) and also just behind it, is the lampost. Its pretty cool thinking thats where the idea came from.

After, we made it to the Natural History Museum which was pretty cool and there was a few things to see and do. T'was cool. There was a bunch a statues running around (I just said running..) and yea they were all famous scientists like Newton, Darwin and Aristotle. Yep. Oh and a beehive...I liked the bees for some reason.

Um, we made our way to the uni gardens somewhere, I cant tell you more than that because, well, I have no idea but yea it was great. Really big and we just found a patch of grass in the sunny shade, found a ball and played catch and talked for an hour and a bit people watching, the lot. Was quite nice. We then bused back home aaaaaaaaaand then sat outside with tea. Eventually Catherine got home andjoined us, later Tom did too. It was nice sitting in the sun outside with them and chatting about whatever sprang to mind. We had wine, snacks and dinner and it was fun- its good being with family.

I think that sums up my day, was a good one but now I am gonna watch Caroline. Blogfail.

Au revoirr (sister cities winwinwinwin)
