*Warning! The following post may bore you!*

Ok, so last Sunday me and my family decided to take a trip to London for the day to see a Spanish Exhibition called "Viva Espana", little did we know what we were letting ourselves in for...

[start boring post]

After getting up at 5 AM with only 6 hours sleep, (I was talking on MSN late) we hit the road.
Three hours of listening to James Blunt, Coldplay and David Gray later, we arrive at London and park at 'Olympia' which is where the Exhibition was held.

So we enter the place and have a look around, first impression was; high glass ceiling; red carpet; kinda quiet; red and yellow flags hanging from the high roof; and estate agents... No joke.
The place was filled with high divides that house estate agents, all handing out bags of magazines, leaflets and even umbrella's, and they all want you to buy their Spanish Villa's.
You even look them vaguely in the direction of their eyes and they'll pounce on you.

So, we head to the back and watch a Flamenco dancing lesson, which was really quite lame, the woman who was 'helping' this guy teach wasn't very good at it, so nothing to do there.
Then my dad starts making eye contact with every salesman in a twenty metre radius, (i.e. a lot!) and we all stand around getting sore legs and bored minds.
Then we finally drag our dad out of the sales department and into the café, (it was time for Lunch!) and we order food... and it wasn't very good food at that.

Then we walk around a little more, we saw a Horse Show, (which sadly wasn't all that it was cracked up to be, basically the horses walked around the enclosure while we were deafened with loud music coming out of the speakers) and a cooking show, (he cooked rabbit! *gasp!*) then me and my sister, Emirii, couldn't take it anymore and sat by the cooking show for a couple of hours.
I listened to even more music on my MP3 player and Em went off now and again to go and see the "Football Village" where people were playing virtual golf and meeting "famous" Spanish football players, sadly Michael Owen was not there and David Beckham was a look-a-like. ^.~
And for some absurd reason, Sven Erikson's (sp?) double was also there (he looked remarkably like him, only Em said he needing a bigger head! ^.~)

So, waiting around we got some HOT CHOCOLATES! Which was heavenly and one of the best things I had had all day! ^.^
Yum.

So, eventually we have to leave the place and we finally go six hours after arriving. We travel to a nearby restaurant called 'The Wishing Well' and have an 'ok' dinner.
Then we head home, where I listen to three hours more of my MP3 playlist, (it's really incredible, I only used one AAA battery throughout the whole day, and it wasn't even a brand new battery either!) and we finally arrive home at around 10:30 PM, which was earlier than expected.
It was a looong, boring day, and I'm sorry that you had to read through all of that. ^^'

[/end boring post]

So, what else have I been up to? ... Not much actually.
Well, I did have an amusing conversation with someone on MSN last night, but I don't think I'm going to go into detail on that one... heh heh... ^^'

Well, I did some Maths this morning, *grins proudly* but now I need to go and do some more work, so TTFN!

Edit: I just updated with this spiffy new banner! What do ya think?
I quite like it, even if I did make it myself! ^.~
