UNCE UNCE UNCE

WHOAH.

hah, alright...

um.
headed into town today.

BUT ALAS
NO EXACT CHANGE.

we need six pound for the two of us, and i've got...

three tens and then a one pound coin....

O-o

So... i go downstairs to ask pat if she's got two fives i can exchange for one of my tens..

she doesn't, but as it happens, john has eight pound in coins, and Pat has one in change.

she says they might need to owe us one, if they can't find another pound, i say it's fine, because after all they ARE letting us stay in their house!

but pat objects and proceeds to find the rest of the change...

she finds fourty in change, and the other sixty pence?

All in one and two pence coins.

it was quite the sight ;3 and she kept recounting, and i kept telling her it was fine, and she kept objecting D:


anyway... so onto the bus and into town, where we promptly eat mcdonalds (WHOAH) here we discover that i can do this very well:

and then it's time to find a cafe to sit and kill time at... which we do, but not before somehow completely missing the Queen's Arcade and ending up passing it.

t'was worth it though, because Kriz stopped and gave this girl playing the accordion like.. all of our pennies. (so sixty cents) which was either very kind or extremely rude.

either way, the face she made when she saw him drop it in was priceless.
she was like.
WHOAH!
her entire face went round, it was awesome.
i swear to god she was only like ten, though.
and Asian.
stereotypes much?

so, we find our way into the arcade and then the safe, and proceed to kill the next, like.. six hours doing.. nothing, i guess?
oh wait.
we did this.

and when we're done with that, we head back over to the castle to catch our bus back home....

and on the bus back home is like.
the best little kid ever.
he was looking over my shoulder while i was Professor Laytoning on Kriz's DSiXL, and sits down across from us when i finished, trying (very obviously) to get a good look at my glasses.
I hand them to him (with the warning of "be Careful," of course) and he trips out a bit before handing them back- as i put them back on, he comments "whoah your eyes are big."
"yup"
then he points out a school that his friend goes to, but, because he's so quiet, i hear it as "i go there" and we both get confused for a moment before he clears it up, explaining that he's only in grade three (i believe he said, it was difficult to hear him because buses are loud and he was quiet) and he continues on to explain the Welsh School System to us until such time as he gets to his stop.

:3

i got schooled on school by a third grader.

AWESOME.

oh.

we get home in time for dinner, more or less, and John comes in beforehand assign us if we need any more light-
"Nah, we have natural light"
"ah. I'll leave the sun on for you, then."
"Thanks =D we'll turn it off before we go to bed."
