Well one day while I was doing just that and as I looked up from my magazine, I realised that if I took the flyscreen off the window and jumped straight out, I would be saved by the roof of the first floor. And that's what I did this morning. I walked straight out of the bathroom window and onto a roof, singing the beginning of 'Circle of Life' from Lion King. I've lived in this house for about 5 years and only realised how useful that window and roof is. I can now watch my neighbour's NYE fireworks without the view being blocked by a palm tree, use my telescope, use the exit an escape plan if an intruder comes, entertain myself during the 3 minutes I brush my teeth, egg visitors, and the list goes on and on.
(Painting I / my family bought at the markets. I feel so rich having paintings around my house, but the cold reality is that I only have $40 left for the rest of the year. This means rummaging through all the clothes I was going to give away to save a couple.)
Anyway, I watched Captain America and went to go shopping for school camp. I was also meant to buy a newspaper to get a limited edition harry potter wand today, but they ran out :(. The school gave us a checklist of what to bring to camp, but it's more brief than undies. Here's what hasn't been specifically said on the list:
- Lollies and snacks for the bus ride
- Pen, paper and scissors or nail clippers. You always need them when they're least expected to be used
- SIX pairs of undies and socks
- Lipbalm. Remember that time when your lips got REALLY dry and you kept licking your lips? Now imagine doing that for 3 or so days. You don't want that.
- Thongs. Someone could've peed in the shower before you, or had some foot fungus infection. Then you're gonna step right onto it barefoot.
- plastic bags for dirty shoes
- Toothpaste, toothbrush
- Soap
- DRY shampoo. It's so much faster and easier to use, and you won't cause an angry queue of people yelling you to hurry up in the shower.
- hairbrush
