today rachael and i went on a quest. we had a mission. we were bound and determined to find the absolute ugliest sheets and duvett cover for my bed. we succeeded. i'll be sleeping on a mint green sheet, with a sonoran red and navy blue southwestern print. it actually has camels on it. i'll take a picture to post soon. i can't be bothered to get off my bed and do it now.

i'm so english you don't even know.

i've already picked up on a lot of the commonly used words and phrases.

rubbish- trash, garbage, when something is awful
bin- trash can
wee- pee (i've been made fun of for saying pee)
toilet- bathroom
football- soccer
can't be bothered- too lazy
cheers!- thanks, your welcome, yes please (pretty much anything you want it to be)
cinemas- theaters
film- movie
half six- 6:30. they don't say thirty unless they're counting
minger- bad, dirty
glorious- replaces fabulous for us west coasters

I've even caught on to some of their habits....

tea after every meal and intermittently throughout the day
(prepare yourself for this one...) NO SALT on my food. i know, shocking.
squash- concentrated juice mixed with water in individual cups (not too fondof this)


I'm loving it. Absolutely loving it.


I miss you all. But love my new friends. Cheers!
