Went to Newcastle yesterday... wow, for the first time I really realised how small York is. And I never expected England to be so pretty! From gazing out of the window each time I took a train someplace, I had expected England to be pretty standardised (well it is, mostly) - blocks of houses, darker skies, squares and rectangles and fixed-angles. The journey to Newcastle was really different - large pastures, green and green and sky blue, lots of sheep! And Newcastle itself was quite pretty. Went to the coast and had fish and chips.. oh wow, the cod was fantabulous. I miss eating fish! Shall make it a regular thing to have salmon, though it costs a lot more.
Met up with Wanling, who brought me around Newcastle. We saw the bridges, its castle, and shopped at the factory outlet! Oh goodness, sports stuff were really really (comparatively) cheap! There was a Nike and Reebok factory store there, and the Reebok stuff were really really pretty. But.... yeah. Didn't buy ya. Guess it's really stuff I don't need. I bought stuff that I really needed - new running shoes, 'cuz my old pair is wearing out after travelling, and another pair of track pants. My shoes only cost 14 quid! Muaha! Baby pink and silver... haha. If it were one year ago it'll be really atypical of the type of shoe I'd wear. It seems that the older I get the brighter the colours I prefer.
Flabbs. Speaking of Sports, I'm getting REALLY flabby. Jeans are tighterrr. I kept eating and eating during travelling... though we walked a lot, I'm SURE it was an overall gain of mass + weight. and now there's no fixed routine (timetable) I feel less inclined to run or go to the gym. NArrrr! Will go play tennis tomorrow. And run on Thurs. Don't think it'll ever work off the Chinese buffet I had last night tho...
