Wokingham (lazy day)

Today was our lazy day in Wokingham, or more aptly our laundry day. I kind of woke up when everyone was stressing to get Andrew out and to the airport and then went back to sleep until 10. I woke up to Umma cooking ramen with sweet and sour sauce that ended up being good.

We spent most of the day sorting out clothes and getting some of it clean. This took a long time because Oppa's washing machine is very small, so we could only wash clothes in small batches. Oppa had also gone to work for the day and had left us in the apartment with no toilet paper, which was slightly stressful.

I spent most of the day reading the Meg Cabot book that Mia got from the book exchange shelf on the cruise. It was very light reading and a fast read, but it was kind of addicting. At some point, we also found a Hills marathon on MTV. I had not seen the show before this and have just discovered how disgustingly addictive that show actually is. Also my extensive celebrity gossip knowledge seemed to provide me with a lot of background information on the people in the show. It's so dumb though.

At around 3, we went outside to walk to the Chinese restaurant near Oppa's place. Turns out it was closed, but some guy gave us directions to the center of town. We made our way there and we discovered that most of hte restaurants in town were closed until 6 as well. We eventually found a pub that was open and ate there. It was completely empty, so it was very awkward at first, but the food ended up being very good.

We walked back to Oppa's place, stopping at a store along the way to get toilet paper and actually met Oppa along the way. He drove us back to the flat. We stayed there for about thirty minutes and then loaded into the car to go to the movies, illegally putting James and Umma in the trunk. We actually all went there to see Batman, but it turned out that Batman was not out in the UK until Friday. So, Oppa went back, James Halmony and Gianni saw Hancock, and Umma Mia and I saw Mamma Mia. I've never seen a theater with so many women in it before in my life. It was actually somewhat terrifying. That said, Mamma Mia was extremely silly and campy, but the scenery was gorgeous and it was still fun to watch. Also, Pierce Brosnan cannot sing.

After the movie, we went back, did last minute packing for our trip to France, I blogged a little bit, and went to bed.
