Brighton

So its not been 6 days but that dont matter because its been less and i would have forgotten what has happened today if i left it much later..
We went to Epsom today to see J seeing as we have not seen him since half way through the summer holidays. Dad made me get up at 5 'o' cloick so that we could get down here in good time, it was horrible :( By the time we left home it was quite light so i was reading one of J's books all the way down here. We got to J's house said hello sat talking for about 5 minutes and then we all got in the car and dad drove us all to Brighton. It's been a while since ive been to the seaside, i suppose you could say the last time was when i was in Iceland but that don't really count. When we came out of the car park we headed away from the sea front and into The Lanes to do some random shopping. There were lots of jewellery shops in a very small area.. Eventually we were out of The Lanes and on normal streets with bigger shops around including a shopping centre. We went in but didnt get very far because J wanted to go to a vintage clothes shop. So we got directions to this shop and found our way onto a very busy side street that was lined all the way down with shops and cafes. As we made our way along i pointed out a few shops that i wanted to go into when we had been to the vintage shop. After stopping and asking for directions again we found the shop. It was more a warehouse crammed with row upon row of old clothes, including fancy dress costumes such as goofy, fred flinstone and big bird. J didnt find anything worth buying.. we went back to the shop i had pointed out and went to explore, in reality it was a very small section in a very big shop. I managed to find a hoodie that i liked so bought it and then decided i also liked other things including belts and bags but i didnt have any money and didnt want to owe my parents more than i already do. J was able to find some t-shirts in some of the other shops which he liked so bought them. Dad then took us into a red-indian shop with wind pipes and charms in it. While in there, i found a very nice leather jacket that i tried on. It fit and i liked it a lot and the sales guy even lowered the price for me, but i refused, saying it was still rather expensive and i had nothing to wear with it.. I am not dissapointed with my decision but i have said that i will get one in future. Also on the way back to the car, I made another life mission: to aquire a pair of rockport boots.
Now me mum and dad are sitting in J's room passing the time away while he is at a lecture at uni. We should be going out for dinner later but that is yet to come so obviously i cant write about it yet..

until next time..
