"Boat"

After years of suspense, yesterday was the magical day in which I got to see Chris's parent's boat over by Portsmouth. It was a grand day. After a mid-day people round-up, we stopped at some sort of giant Tesco will lots on non-food items to stock up on lunch and snacks and somehow a cheesecake. The journy then continued until we arrived at the marina, at which point I was naturally quite excited. The momentum kept building until we finally got to see infamous boat! It was all white and shiny and clean and boat-like! Like the ones that require all the bridges to be raised in Seattle! Cool, no?

So aside from the shiny white exterior, boat had a nice little seating area on the back with benches and collapsable little table for eating lunch. There is also an inside bit with striped cushions and a little kitchen and a little toilet that you flush by hand (well, not hand in that sense, but you do the pumping) and three entire bedrooms. It was quite the situation, needless to say. It was nice and sunny, but not too sunny and a bit warm but not too warm. And there weren't many people around so it made for a peaceful sit on a boat and munch sort of afternoon. We did not attempt to move the boat. I feel like we were enough of a liability just being allowed to touch things. So aside from that, there was much sitting and pretending to be a boat person. Chris is actually a boat person so he did it the best. There are numerous, numerous photos of boat and all things boat-related on picasa for viewing enjoyment.

In related news, I had thai food for dinner last night. First time I've had thai food since I've been in this land. It was good. Yummy, really.
