An update…

Hello fans!

Been a loooong time since my last update and Steosphere inspired me to write. Well, what am I to update you on?

1. Selsey.

So on the 26th of September, we went back to Selsey. It was like a different reality! The weather so clear and so hot and so beautiful. Photos here. On the Tuesday, I had a bit of an accident; I tripped up the entry steps into the complex and badly bruised my knee. Took about 2.5 weeks to get better and my knee still isn’t *right* but I think that has to do more with my dodgy knee anyway. Martin and Steph came that day and just as they were leaving, a fog descended on us out of nowhere! Dad, of course, was doing his ‘The Fog’ thing.

A bit later on, me and Charlie walked to the complex and took the usual road there. Then, suddenly, we were in the completely wrong place. We had walked as far as the windmill which is in the opposite direction to the complex! We could hear disembodied cheering and the ship foghorns in the distance. The slide from the fairground loomed up out of the fog and the sea was silent and black. It was so weird and eerie. We just stood for a moment or so while the GPS got to work and found ourselves there. I panicked a little cos we were lost. Eventually, we found the road to the front and slowly, the complex’s lights came into view. We went to the beach and looked out; the sea was just pitch black and all you could see was the boulders on the beach where the fog was reflecting light onto it. Where you couldn’t see the lights of the Isle of Wight or Portsmouth and could only hear the foghorns out at sea, it was very strange indeed.

When we came out of the club a few hours later, the fog had completely lifted.

Also that week, I drank mostly alcohol and went swimming. Went to Bognor for a couple of hours and got lost on the way there but our GPS got us there and back. Topped up my tan because of the glorious sunshine. Got some lovely photos of the lifeboat station and inside. The entertainment was really good too although I was really disappointed when they didn’t do Xtina’s bit of the Xtina vs Britney thing they were supposed to do. Leaving on the Friday morning was harder than usual. I hate leaving Selsey as you know but that week was so amazing. I cried as we left the park because it was so gorgeous there and ‘Farewell My Summer Love’ played in my head as we drove away. It took me a few days to recover tbh. We drove to East Grinstead to pick Rio up from Christine’s and got lost on the way there. GPS saved the day yet again.

2. Ghost Adventures, Ringer, American Horror Story, books and my laptop

So, Martin repaired my laptop so right now I am writing this from the comfort of my bed! It isn’t perfect but it beats having no backlight at all! I have also been watching a show called ‘Ghost Adventures’ and it is a paranormal investigation show and I LOVE it. It’s American and OTT but the actual investigating they do is astonishing. They have gathered more evidence since 2008 than Most Haunted got in 9 years. And I love the guys that do it; Zak, Aaron and Nick. They are so funny. I love watching their video blogs and reading their tweets!

Another show I am into is ‘Ringer’ which is Sarah Michelle Gellar’s new show and I love it. It is full of so many twists and turns! And she is totally NOT Buffy in it. She plays twins called Bridget Kelly and Siobhan Martin who couldn’t be further from Buffy. She’s a great actress.

‘American Horror Story’ is another. I’m not even sure what it is about cos it is a complete mindfuck tbh but it is such a great show. Probably the best thing on TV atm. It is about a family called the Harmon’s who moved to LA to get away from their past and it isn’t really going all that well for them. It has ghosts in it!

Also, I am back into books in a big way. Now running out of room for them. I currently reading a book called ‘Witch Light’ (formally called ‘Corrag’) and it is about a young woman who is locked up in a cell accused of witchcraft and it is her story. Read eleven chapters so far and it is beautifully written.

3. My bedroom:

Yeah, my floor is clear and the underneath of my bed is tidy. All of the stuff in the drawer (stuff which has been there since I moved into this room in 1997) is in the loft! The drawer is now full of shoes and the boxes are tidy. There is another pile of books under there as well. My halloween collection is growing and I have a windowsill full of stuff and I got some pumpkin fairy lights.

4. Other stuff:

Missed my last blood donation was I wasn’t up for doing it cos I wasn’t mentally prepared. Doing the next one though for sure. There’s a chance that we are going to Scotland in September for wedding. Didn’t see Will at ITV but we’re seeing him on the 17th of November!

I think that’s it.
