Luton carnival was pretty cool, even though it was pissing rain the whole time. We missed the start because my mum was playing a rifle shooting game in the arcade. Yeah, IDK either. Luton parades are always fun because they spend no money & just let all the school kids run wild in random scraps of fabric. You could see shamrocks & Urdu writing on the side of the floats left over from St Patrick's day & the Mela. Protip: always stand next to the low bridge during a carnival so that you can see all the 'oh shit!' faces when they realise they're going to have to dismantle the top to get through.

My cousin posted me back my phone & packed the box with teabags instead of bubblewrap because he knew my mum wanted some Irish tea. Now my phone smells of tea. The phonecall I made to thank him ended with him telling me he wanted to pat me on the head. I think the reason we have such a good relationship is that we both think the other is adorably stupid. Obviously he's less delusional than I am.

Went out with some memers on Saturday (hi guys, ILU!). I'm never trusting googlemaps again. Oh, sure, I got there okay, but they never mentioned the bit where I'd have to dash through four lanes of traffic & climb over a fence!
