Lazy, happy, days

So I’ve been at Pierre’s almost a week. Apart from his birthday I haven’t really been up to much since I got here. Can’t blame me really though cause the weather is always rotten and not very inclined to inviting you outside.

But today, feeling a little lazy and wanting some fresh air, I cruised to town to buy some shoes. Only I got distracted on the way and ended up at the Manx museum.

Oh and Manx is what are called if you live on the Isle of Man. Like being a kiwi from New Zealand. Or actually it is more official. I guess like being a New Zealander. They even have their own government, their own version of the pound and their own, not really used I think, language.

So where was I? At the Manx museum or Thie Tashtee Vannin in Manx. Not too shabby a one either. Freeness helps too. Started with arty pics, then a map gallery of the isles mapped history, then some boring geology, a cool gallery of Vikings and Celts who lived here once, a cool Giant deer skeleton, then some stuff on how tourism got here, the animal life, and of course the TT motorbike race that goes off each year and for which this isle is most famous.

Then I cruised town for a bit before heading home to crash once more in front of the T.V watching Borat, Superbad, Beerfest, Butterfly Effect, Garden Grove and such.

Probably won’t change much either till Thursday when we start a 3 day bender. Saturday is Aussie day, Thursday is Ed day (DJ at a club) and Friday just fits between (o;
