January

Yes, I am still alive. I'm busily writing my script. The end of this month is the final deadline for school so I am spending a lot of hours staring at my computer screen, trying to will myself to write. It doesn't make for interesting blog stories.

But also, I've been a bit lazy too :P


It took a little while for the lights at the town hall to be taken down. I got this picture of santa taken during the day which actually turned out better than the one I posted of him when he's all lit up. I still think it was the cutest santa I've ever seen.

Took a walk through the city for this month's walk. There are always interested signs and stone work. This one in particular caught my eye.

Most of where we were walking was a canal walk. This bridge is from the 1800's. I believe what we decided is that there use to be a canal running underneath it. Clearly there isn't now, but the bridge still stands.

Some fun street art. Very creative use of plant life :D
 
Now, I've told my family about this place before but I finally went back and took a picture of it. This is what Europeans, or at least the British, think is our candy...

It just makes me laugh. Certainly not the breakfast of champions but Americans certainly don't think of these as candy. There's breakfast and snack food. Maybe the jello that is a kiddie desert at least. Pancake mix and syrup...Velveeta cheese?!
 
I'm too easily entertained by this I think. The store has actual candy in it, but now you know that we Americans eat candy for breakfast :D

I may be back to posting regularly again in February. We'll see.
