WARWICK CASTLE WANDERINGS

Time for me to get you all caught up with my life, again!

Friday:
  • In class I found out that I basically should scrap my design proposal and start again. Luckily I have time to do that. Monday I presented a whole new concept, which I like much better.
  • That night was a blast. I went over to one of my friend's houses in landscaping and a group of us made dinner. Sushi and chili was on the menu. It was absolutely delicious! We had lots of fun and played a trivia game. I was helpful on the US questions, but not much else I'm afraid.
  • Did you know that there are 53 territories that still consider themselves loyal to the British empire?

Saturday:
  • Was spent mostly in relaxation. I finished reading one of my books which was a lot of fun. This was also the day I brain-stormed a new design.

Sunday: WARWICK CASTLE WANDERINGS
Medieval Magesty would be the best way to describe it. I had to get up early on a cold rainy typical British sunday morning, but boy was it worth it! After 2 hrs on the bus, we finally got there. It is one of the best preserved Medieval Castles in Britain, and I'd totally believe that statement.
The walls still stand tall with barely a rock out of place. The arrow holes are worn down, but that hardly seems like a problem given there are no invading armies likely to attack any time soon. The inside is lavishly decorated. The Great Hall is bedecked in medieval armor. The rest of the decor is Victorian, which dates to one of the famous inhabitants. Today there are many re-enactors, who bring the place to life.

I quite happily spent four hours there, and saw just about the whole thing. Also, part of the popular BBC series, Merlin, was filmed at Warwick.

Monday:
It was not surprisingly mostly a working day. I attended class and completed an assignment for my Urban Regeneration Class.

I attempted to dye my hair last night. The good news: I didn't dye my hair green, (Mom). The bad news: I think I may have in-advertently managed to find the exact match for my natural color. Dying failure on my part! Apparently, I have light auburn hair according to the box. Maybe in sunlight it will look a little different.

  1. If you decide to try again, wait 10 days (St. Patricks Day) in case it comes out green!

  2. And keep that box for the day when you start turning gray.
