Vampires in bangor
Life had changed here in Orme Road.
Princesses and fairies have been abandoned to the world of childhood. Now the talk is of vampires and goths and such like!
The journey to this world was easy - but long.
We left home at twenty past six.
A brilliant orange sun was just rising to the east.
We didn't keep the sun with us all morning - round Birmingham the world was shrouded in grey fog.
But as we past the Croeso y Cymru sign the sun broke through again and the North Wales mountains and coast looked good, though the haze seemed to hand over Anglesey.
We stopped at the OK diner - where we ate more than we actually needed.
And then arrived with Ashley at just gone half past twelve.
We had a quiet time, as planned, before driving to the top of Bangor to meet Ekatarina from school.
We did some shopping in Lidl and we have plenty to keep us going over the weekend.
I cooked fish and boiled potatoes and vegetables this evening. Ecky had some mashed potato. She is still a grazer, rather than a meal eater.
I read to her at bed time - she chose one of her Horrible Science books about the human body.
This led to an interesting conversation. We talked of the possibility of kidney transplants and such like and Ecky asked about brain transplants.
And then we were into the "What is a brain?" question and how each brain is unique and if you could transplant a brain, then would the person who had died to enable the transplant actually go on living in the recipient's body?
We were up at 5 o'clock this morning. So we will be off to bed very soon.
Tomorrow we will meet up with Pete and Jean.
Goodnight.
