I just went to the railstation. I actually remembered on my own, and hey, it was a nice excuse to get out of the house on another nice day! I'm convinced this means it will be crappy the whole time I have guests :/

So, the news was... so-so. Aberysthwyth is expensive because very few trainlines go out that way. The news for Ireland was slightly better, London I can get dirt cheap if I can book 7 days in advance :o I should be able to do that, if I ever hear back from the museum...

I didn't look into Edinburgh, though. I know Ian is going to be doing that anyway, and the guy was looking at be with a 'bah, tousists' look. Jerk. Anyway, I also picked up a thingy for a Young Person's rail card, to get a discount on all this travelling I'm planning :o

On the way back from this errand, I decided to stop and buy myself an easter treat! I went to McDonalds for the first time since coming to England. I bought myself a medium fries and a cadbury's cream egg flurry. I had to get the fries. I culdn't justify getting just a flurry when I'd had so little else to eat today. Also, I like dipping McDonald's fries in their lard-cream :D Mmm. lard-cream...

But it was very dissapointing :/ The chocolate was cheap, even though it was supposed to be Cadbury. Well, it certainly wasn't up to their cream egg chocolate standard. And the syrup was really runny (supposed to be like the 'yolk') And it was tiny and very melty, and generally dissapointing. Next time, I'll just get a tub of lard-cream and break a cream egg into in, I think :)

It can be as cheap as 19 pounds return, if I can book 7 days in advance :o Which I should be able to do easily enough, considering I need to give 14 days notice to the manuscript people... :D

Cool! Unfortunately, we are broke right now. Hey, the Queen Mum just died this afternoon! I was sure she was going to live forever....

Really? Glad I don't watch much tv, I guess. I expect this will be on for a while :o
