This weekend was glorious! Lyle and I went to Wilmington. Everyone was asleep when we arrived at about 11, but we were greeted by a few of his animals. When we walked in the door I heard these adorable boin boin boin noises – I thought it was some kind of device that made those noises on purpose to put on a relaxing atmospheric setting but it was in fact a guinea pig! There was also a sweet but smelly spotty doggy anddd two kitties! One was sleek and fat and totally hogged the food bowl, while the other one had a lot of physical features in common with Lyle. No curly hair though. Then we played some Pokemon, yeaaah! ^__^
Saturday we were going to go to Pleasant Oaks, where they used to live. Soon after leaving, a torrent of rain came over us but we slogged through it until hitting some traffic, which we took as a sign that we weren’t meant to go just yet. Later the weather was perfect of course, and we went boating! The water was incredibly flat. At night we did some biking. The bike I used had a seat which was not Louisa-adjusted and was not super comfy but I haven’t biked in forever! Despite the investment of a $20 bike lock, my bike at Penn has pretty much been abandoned after the tire ran out of breath. In fact even though it was the right size, it was way less comfortable to ride than the big bike. Hmph.
On Sunday we finally made it to Pleasant Oaks where we rode around and around and around and around in an ATV which upon closer inspection, I noticed was only supposed to be used by one person at a time. There were lots of wild animals! We saw some adorable teeny weeny fiddler crabs waving around their claw trying to get some ladies back into their holes. There were a few deer. Lots of birds including ospreys, quail, an owl, and even a hawk that tried to drop some carrion on top of us. AND there was a baby alligator that Lyle’s mum had shot because it was threatening the afore mentioned smelly doggy. Apparently there were a lot of alligators which it is against the law to kill except in self-defence. =/
Now I’m back at work, eating my way through the long, long, long work day. For breakfast I had two types of cereal, an Apple Cinnamon Rice Krispies bar, a chocolate toffee thing (rip off from southern season, looked mildly fancy, tastes just like a Heath Bar), and a banana. Then for lunch I had some stuffs my mum packed me and some milk. Then in the kitchen room I found a delicious peach and grapes that had been put out! And I ate my raspberry yogurt. Then I had a frozen banana. Yep done for now. Still hungry.
