Back 'home'...if I can call it that.
It was kind of nice to be back...for a day. Today I had a conversation with my aunt that went like this:
Aunt: What are the four pairs of trousers doing at the back?
...I think she's testing my temper or something.
I miss being in Cornwall. The little things. Like having a shower when I want and knowing that I can get warm water and have it full blast. At 'home' the only available times to get water on maximum power (as opposed to a trickle that's really hot or it's full power and icy cold) is early in the morning and that is assuming they haven't put the tap on downstairs to help defrost some food. Any other time after work has commenced (around 1pm) the shower water will be temperamental. Between 11.15am and 12.30pm people get up to get ready for work...and if I go out and come back late in the evening (around 10.30pm) the water will constantly go on and off. If I miss that little time gap, I have to wait till around 1.30am when everyone is done with the bathroom. Sad times.
I remembered today that I need to add riding a hot air balloon to my 'bucket list'. I also had a mini epiphany when I was shopping (aka browsing) with Ray as to what present I should get for LoLo...
BBC iPlayer is showing Teenage Confessions of a Drama Queen-woo! Thank you JoJo!
I thought I got rid of hayfever once and for all but coming back 'home' the pollution has triggered it all, so now I keep sneezing and have red eyes.
In addition to that weird conversation I had with my aunt, she's been acting a little funny today. I put my satchel down by the till since as soon as I got back customers came in whilst I was having a chat with the new girl who's helping out and she was doing a past exam paper. A bit later I went to move my bag and my aunt was like 'oh, I had to move your bag in case I squash it and you know I can't pay for it' in a oddly snide way. Woman. You are more wealthy than most people I know. You practically live off my mother. No children. No significant other/partner/other half. Oh and I heard you're blanking my grandma-your own mother. How selfish can you get? I heard that you used to put the phone down on her too (when you were still talking to each other that is).
Another thing my aunt did today was hand over a money bag to a guy called Simone (I nicknamed him...) and I jokingly took it from her and acted like I wouldn't give it to him and she just had THE MOST STERN EXPRESSION on and goes (in Cantonese) 'Give. It. To. Him'. Bloody heck, even he knew I was joking! (All parties mentioned were present at the scene and observing the scenario). Simone used to work permanently for my mother, practically since the store was run by us so from when I was four years old and even when he left after ten years or so he still regularly comes back to visit or have dinner and now he helps out on busy days. I don't understand why my aunt was being so iffy, Simone has always been a friend to the family and he'd always let me pretend to bully him, interview him on my children's casstte player/recorder thing about his job, he'd let me force him to sing along the songs I learnt in choir-he even signed the desperate agreement/contract I made when I was going to have my 9th birthday to get me a pet turtle (he never did but still played along). Anyway, after that really awkward exchange I turned to Simone 'I was going to give it to you, why is she being so uptight?' Simone: we need to find her a boyfriend. Ha. Good luck to the poor sap who decides to deal with her.
I think I'm in an unusually irritable mood because of my allergies and I need to sleep because I am tired and have a date that I need to wake up for in about seven hours. Eeeekkk!
Also dreading how bad things will get after the return of the mother.
