First week's weekend

Saturday started quietly. Well, I felt like a quiet day, so I decided to go to town on my own. I needed time for myself, away from the younger student. Don't get me wrong, I get along with her, but being an introvert there is so much talking and company I can take at once, so I need my alone time as often as possible.

The back of the bus, good music from Apple Music and just me and my own thoughts. Bliss!

Off to town!

There was a fun fair opening at noon. Instead of pushing there with the huge crowd I decided to walk around the streets I walked earlier that week after every place closed. I came across a crafts store and bought knitting needles and yarn. Something to do with my hands while watching TV!

Then I headed for the fun fair. It was a tad too cold to go on rides, in my opinion, so I settled to walk around, and came across a small arcade. Sadly no pinball machines.

They did have the next best thing, my weakness, claw machines. I think I spent 3 or 4 pounds in total on the machines and came out with 3 toys and 30 pounds!

I did try many other games. I threw hoops, darts and angled for ducks. The latter scored me an adorable black bear.

After getting back home I spent the rest of the day watching TV, enjoying some cider and knitting. It was such a lovely, quiet afternoon. In the evening the whole family watched Disney's Robin Hood before retiring for the day.

Sunday morning, Valentine's day. We were served a full English breakfast.

I spent the day in front of the TV again, charging my batteries, getting ready for next week. I also tried out treats I had only heard of before. Turkish Delight wasn't really my thing, but Kendall Mint Cake was tasty.

The peacocks came back :)

Sunday night I got quite nervous, because the next day I would start my first shift at the fancy hotel. I had no idea what to expect at all!
