Turned out there is a factory in West Footscary that has gone up spewing a toxic cloud everywhere.
They had to close the school because the heating is via air over here not radiators (fuck knows why but there you go) so even though they had the place closed up they couldn’t run the heating and all the kids were freezing.
I’ve got an early train to catch but I can’t go to sleep in my dorm because the sweet little Chinese girl who’s being hugging a toy polar bear all week is now playing horrendous death metal really loud
Went to the aquarium today and hung out with some sea otters which might just be my favourite new animal
Up and ready for the day. Looking forward to seeing Men of the North Country tonight. Some of them are old friends from when they moved to London to avoid being drafted into the military. So it’ll be good to see them again.
Just finished work and the weather seems to be turning from being generally rubbish now which is nice. Love the evening light during this time of year.
Have tickets to see my first ever All Blacks game in a few weeks in Wellington though so it’ll be cold and miserable - and I’m told the atmosphere of rugby games is average so keeping expectations low. Also reckon if we’re gonna get beaten on this tour, this game against South Africa will be the one where it happens.
Yeah summer’s been gone for at least 2 weeks i think, although in fairness i think the unusually good weather we had skewed our perception and this (cold and probably raining) is actually just a normal british “summer” day
