Yesterday, 15.12.10

Truro is pretty damn awesome. It's more like a proper town than any other place I've been to so far.
It was very very busy (what with Christmas being only 9 days away) and the pavement in the city centre isn't wide enough for more than two people to walk comfortably side by side.
We went to (in order, I think):
- This cute little market place where Nana bought me some new gloves (hobo gloves!). They're black and bright pink :D
- Marks and Spencers: department store. Didn't buy anything but saw a lot of clothes that I like
- Waterstone: A bookshop. This bookshop is amazing. Honestly, it's twenty times better than any Witchoulls or Borders or anything in New Zealand. It's bright and cheerful and there are just books everywhere. They don't really bother with stationary or toys, it's all just books. And they had this great deal where you get 3 books for the price of two, so I bought four (1. Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, 2. One Day by David Nicholls, 3. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and 4. a Keep Calm and Carry On quote book, for trying times.

After that we just kinda looked in some clothes shops (all too expensive, even with sales on) and then had lunch.
And today I'm staying inside because it's quite possible that I have caught a cold, which is exactly what I need :/
