Misthold Welcomes You

1. I found a tiny snail on the wall INSIDE the house. How did it get there? Where is it going?

2. What I thought was a weird-looking vase revealed itself to be a crystal singing bowl. I can see why enthusiasts are SO enthusiastic about it. The sound sort of vibrates upwards and it's almost a physical feeling once it hits.

3. One week until I leave Chichester and head to Cardiff! If you have any recommendations for charity shops, used bookstores, small museums or other interesting places to while away time, let me know.

1. re:remembering your dreams: I finally had a weird enough one last night that it stuck with me upon waking up, and I managed to write most of it down. The highlights is me driving a manual car IN ENGLAND and somehow not managing to crash, and also re-obtaining various belongings which had been stolen.

As far as I can tell, most of the dreams I manage to remember have similar themes of either people stealing my stuff or me driving and mostly not crashing into things, sometimes with an added bonus of people barging into my rooms before or after the theft/driving activities. I'm not sure what the point is but at least I've stopped dreaming about missing classes/exams in high school.

2. Had to change my train ticket to my next sit, and went through a very annoying process with the train company; basically you have to prove that you a) bought a new ticket and b) tore up the old one-- well mine was an electronic ticket so I struggled a bit there but got it sent in eventually. Once sent, they take a few days to consider whether you deserve a refund or not, and whether they're going to take a fee out or not. Well! My refund was approved after a few days and I'm waiting for it to be deposited. And no fee taken out, either.

3. I can see a seagull sitting on a neighboring roof's chimney from my attic room window, and there's a very funny fight with another seagull trying to knock the first one off so it can sit there instead. I love birds!
