Day 3: Gone Fishing

[transcribed from a real journal]

For dinner I ate some barbecued chicken and salad...and a slice of bread. :) I hope i'm eating less here than at home. I don't feel like I'm overeating too much at least.

We went to Costco, which is pretty much just like Costco in the US but with...British stuff. And American stuff. It was nice to get out of the house, I think.

Before my nap, Kay & I attempted to catch fish with an empty soda bottle. You cut the top off & invert it and shove it back into the bottom bit. [illustration]

Sooo we brought that to a nearby stream thing after tying it with some twine. It took some work getting it full of water but after that we left it over a little bridge and took a walk. We walked to some other streams & took photos of Poofy in trees & stuff. I probably need to have him quarantined. I also got stung by some evil plants appropriately called stinging nettles. Damn them. They feel sharp & then they semi-itch...and then they make your skin swell up like a little bug bite. Lovely, eh?

For a while before (or after) we went out roaming we playeyed with stuffed animals. Kat has a scary puffkin squirrel named Chuck & he mainly says "ARE YOU MY FRIEND?" in a pseudo southern accent. Mildly frightening. British Cow is afraid of Chuck.

We have issues.

Kat is playing Monster Rancher. It's very cute. The monster attacks by sitting on the other dudes. Or punching them. But it's cute.

We should go to bed earlier today. Before 4 AM at least.
