Brighton, the one and only

 Flowers at the cemetery, never quite sure how (in)appropriate cemetery photos are

 I agree. So much stuff about the Queen's Jubilee, I'd say a lot worse than the wedding last year

 Went to the Brighton Pier, disappointed by the loud music and noisy people, impressed by the sea

 Amazing weather, wanted to be these guys on the water

 Kayung a few hours after finishing her year presentation and handing in her proposal, happy days

 My English hosts, celebrating a) Kyle's birthday and b) hand-in 

Wonderful tea-house with all the china plates and all the cakes

Brighton was really lovely. I was expecting it to be, and it was, although there was a lot more poverty and drugs visible than I had imagined. My first day, we walked past a man bleeding on the pavement, police dogs sniffing bags with white powder + police officers talking to shady looking people in a park, and a man walking unsteadily from one side of the road to another, while bleeding... All of this at 4:30 in the afternoon. After that though, Brighton was all sunshine and tea and cake and cider and wonderful films and nomsome breakfasts (thank you Kyle and Kay) and gardens and vintage shops.

This is me, sitting in Kayung and Kyle's back garden in the sunshine (and a bit of wind), drinking tea and taking it very easy.

The past week has been exhiliratingly busy, with Norway Day on Thursday, flying to Oslo on Thursday, flying to London and taking the train to Cornwall on Friday, spending the weekend in Falmouth (not sleeping much), taking the train to London on Sunday and sleeping a few hours at Ina's house before heading to Brighton this morning.

Now I'm chilling with tea and sunshine and lovely Kay who is writing her uni proposal, which suits me good since it gives me an excuse to lazy about and do nothing. I probably won't post much this week, but I wanted you to know I'm alive and happy as a lark.
