Blogger, you’re new interface is not fast, modern or any of the other adjectives you used to describe it.
Bonjour mes amis, ça va? Bon.
I have been in France for that last few days and it was pretty cool. I went with my family and we stayed in my mum’s friend’s house in Normandy. I saw so much old stuff; it was like history teachers dream holiday. I saw the Bayeux Tapestry which is really big, I was slightly disappointed embroidery on it, I know it’s like a thousand years old but still, some of their work was just shoddy. I had never realised that William the Conqueror was actually the good guy really and Harold was just a bit of a dick who stole the throne when Edward died. I also saw Mont St Michel which was really really cool, it has a big old monastery on the top and there are real nuns there and everything. Yesterday I went to Arromanches which is one of the landing beaches from D Day. The army transported a load of blocks over the channel so that we could build a port their as soon as we invaded to get supplies across because they decided that actually capturing a French port would be too hard. There are still big chunks of it left on the beach and in the see and its really interesting. Finally I went to a war cemetery, it was really sad to see so many graves and see how many young men had died. It was also nice though because there were lots of English people coming and going and at least it showed that people appreciate what was sacrificed for us. I have the greatest respect for everyone who died to defend our freedom and stand up against the terrible things the Nazis were doing.
I just acquired The Mountain Goats album Tallahassee because I have had No Children stuck in my head all week and haven’t had it on my phone to listen too.
I saw this gif a while ago I think now is the perfect opportunity to share it with you all. I don’t even know what the world record they’re trying to break is:
Fuck, if I'd known how much effort it was going to take to upload that I wouldn't have bothered.
Hmmm, eating a whole packet of Coop own brand cookies was a mistake, I wasn't even hungry.
While I was in France I read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo because I heard it was meant to be good and one some prizes and things. It really isn't very good at all. It's not very well written and nothing exciting happens for almost all of the book. I think maybe the only reason it got famous was because the author died before it was published. I would not recommend it.
Juliet, I’m sorry I wasn’t really about for your last week in Swindon. Sunday was awesome though and I think it makes up for it.
Josh, I’m glad you finally blogged again. Also hi Lilly, it was nice to see again.
David, I hope Berlin treated you well and you had fun.
Tom, I’m not sure if you were doing anything much this week but I look forward to seeing you soon.
Cath, do you even still exist.
