Well I am home and nothing terrible happened on the journey, although I did spend the last 45 minutes convinced I was about to either throw up or explode, which is odd because I don’t usually get car sick. I have been clenching my stomach for hours so maybe that’s why. Anyway mum has already managed to piss me off and George is curled up next to me so all is normal and I can unclench myself now and go and find some food perhaps.
Well then, goodbye Bedford.

Hahaha oh dear you’re right!!
Step 6 is apparently to have a little weeping fest at the realisation that the only cups dad has are ones that I bought him, oh my.
Step 5 - discover that this place has pink toilets and fall further in love!
I love this place, it’s a two minute walk from dads house and I came here one night to do sambuca shots but the barman has only just remembered me and I am now a proud member complete with membership card and everything! It’s a little place and it’s like going back in time, basically only locals come in here and there are ashtrays on the bar. The barman is sporadically talking to me and I’ve just praised my dad and we are having amusing snippets of conversation in which he asks if I’m spoilt and we discuss the radio and why I am in here alone on a weekday. I look like a bloody tramp today but screw it, I’ll be more attractive next time and I’ve decided that this is my second home. The other guy in here keeps grinning at me, I think he finds my matter of fact tone and apparent lack of normality endearing. Today has been a success, I will stay in here for one more drink then I’m going to eat lunch like a proper human.
Stage 4 is to sit in the best pub in the world, drinking coffee and smoking at the bar because that’s what they do in here.
Not sure why I’ve chosen to document my day in picture form, but there you go.
I’m in a terrible mood and I’m on my own so I need to find something to do for four hours, I may go for a wander around this little area because I know town better than I know these roads. People keep walking past while I’m outside smoking and I think I have scared a few children.
Step 3 has been the realisation that nothing will make me anywhere near attractive today, but my necklace makes up for it once again.
Step two, in which Megan does not learn her lesson.
Step 1 of ‘what is Megan going to do all day in Bedford by herself?’
It’s too cold to sit in the park all day by myself so I need to formulate a new plan. Apparently this pot is 3 of your 5 a day, my day is off to a healthy start ;)
Well I’m not going to have a happy dad tomorrow! I woke up from my half hour nap and decided the logical course of action was to have a cigarette out of my window because downstairs is so cold, so I leaned out as far as I could, was fine until the end of my cigarette, at which point I realised that leaning headfirst out of a window isn’t a wise thing to do if you’re as light headed as I was, and proceeded to move further back, letting more smoke get into the room, realise I wasn’t feeling great, drop my cigarette out and pass out on the floor. I managed to take my nearly empty, but not empty enough, cup of tea with me so now I have stained carpet and an apartment that smells like smoke. This is a great situation to be in, obviously, I am eagerly awaiting listening to my dad ramble on about rules and respect for property tomorrow when he gets home, and of course I won’t pretend to be asleep when he wakes up, to avoid a conversation.

I prefer beer or whiskey, but wine is like…the ultimate “I’m already really blotto and now I am going to drink whatever I can find… Oh look! Here’s wine!” I like cheap wines though. Hav you tried alcoholic apple cider?
I love whiskey but dislike beer more than I dislike wine :P aww yeah cheap wine reminds me of the good old days so that’s okay, white wine in a cardboard box with a plastic tap thingy on the side! And I didn’t know you could get non alcoholic apple cider wow, but anyway yeah I probably would like cider but it’s too fizzy, again though soft spot for it, especially £3 3L bottles ;)
