Burning up

Ha! You came to a northern country and now you look like a lobster!

Thanks Mom! What a loving family :)

Yes, during my time home I caught the sun too much. Twice! First time was a rookie mistake, didn't put sunscreen on my face! What an idiot! And I have a "cool" wavy tanline on my back as well. between my top and where my hand couldn't reach any more. It hurt so bad!

The second time it was my legs and tummy that burned after 2PM! How? Usually they never catch any sun, even during the high time of noon and now they were bright red after being out for an hour after 2PM!?!?!

Notable mentions from home also include meeting up with Emma, I don't think it has hit me yet that I literally see you twice a year :O Remember our trips to Morrisons together? I rarely go there now...
Anyway... we decided to go try an escape room out. First time for both of us. So obviously when I saw the word "easy" I knew we had to try that out. I mean I didn't have a clue what to do, how will it play out, how logical it is or do you have to know the specifics etc. But we did good! The story was that we were on a sinking ship and needed to escape. Started from our cabin and finished in a dark tiny room. I was very impressed with how quickly we got out of the cabin, like 1-2-3 :) Then we started overthinking :D And spent too much time looking at one thing together while there were lights going on and off behind us. We were frantically turning the switches "Nothing's happening!" :D
We'll know for next time :)

Oh and the minute I decided to walk on grass for a little bit I stepped on a friking bumblebee! Jesus it hurt so bad! I was at a theme park with my little brothers and they wanted me to go play football in the pool with them. Somehow I managed to limp towards it and just as the pain was starting to become crampingly painful I got in the water which luckily cooled it and made the pain disappear. A couple of days later it started itching again a little bit but I was lucky and know next time to immediately get in the water when I get stung again. :)

London

The day after THE VOTE London was buzzing! News channels had set up camp in Westminster and protesters had gathered around them. Protesting against Brexit, Boris Johnson, racist borders, David Cameron etc. Other than that area London was actually pretty peaceful and quiet :) Finally I got to stroll around aimlessly and enjoy the city + the weather was just superb - sunny with a nice breeze, had our lunch in a park etc.

Swans :)

Look at this adorable little house in the middle of London!

Traffic jam

There was also Gay parade at the time we were there. We did try to get away from the crowds (Oxford st - Trafalgar square) and maybe that's why the rest of London seemed quiet... Maybe it always is if you just know where to go for that :D. We did end up at Trafalgar square for the red arrows and we made it just in time: we were just at the end of the Mall nearly under the Arch when they flew past. Luckily they do make a sound to warn that they are coming and I was quick enough to get my camera out :) (Mr. Special didn't :D ). And we also saw the end of the parade then. I admit for some reason I was expecting it to be much more extravagant, something more than just guys in pink shirts dancing on double deckers... I don't know.... Obviously Brexit was mentioned on placards here as well.

Aftershock

What to do now? The UK has actually decided to leave the UK!?! The whole of (my) Facebook was in shock. Minus a couple who had hateful nationalists tendencies before or who could be classed as "benefit people". Could we possibly draw any conclusions from this? Or is it too presumptuous of me?

The best comment by far:The experts said 'here are the scientifically economic reasons not to leave', and 'fuckin migrants stealin my job and teachin muslim 2 my kids' won anyway.

Who knows what's going to happen now. Pretty much everyone quit: Cameron, Corbyn, Johnson, Farage. The two latter basically said they're work here is done. But what now? Who is going to lead the UK out of the EU? Not their problem anymore. HaHa. What? You actually believed that the "£350" million a week that the country paid to the EU was now going to be given to NHS? Please can we have a moment of silence...

The very next day it turned out that the claim that was printed on a red double decker campaign bus had been a mistake. Oooops. Mistakes happen, they're only human. So, what else did they lie about to make slightly more than half the nation to vote for them?

But now they're gone anyway. They've abandoned ship. Scotland also wants to abandon the UK since they voted to stay in. Talks of a second independence referendum are under way. Northern Ireland is also thinking of quitting Britain. A ridiculous news of even London wanting to be independent circulated for a good few days :D We shall see. Because no one knows what is actually going to happen. There is no plan. Looks like there wasn't ever a real plan for Brexit. Ooops we didn't think that people would actually vote for it... Ooops, what even is the EU and what does it do? "Like I know they give us money to build new campuses (10k?Swansea - voted out) and revive near dead Welsh towns (EbbwValley - voted out).

Exciting times
