My sister is here! My tutorial went well, but not as well as I'd hoped.
There really is very little to do in Portsmouth, but there are enough places to eat!

When I returned from Moon's house this afternoon, my sister was there and she was having her hair dyed blue.
From experience, I know it goes a horrible colour, even with all the will in the world. It looks alright now, but it a few days it won't, not that that really matters because it's only hair and it can be re-dyed or cut out anyway.

Day 235.

Today my sister got her GCSE results, I think she was putting too much stress on herself as what I've learnt from being in that situation since then, is that GCSEs literally mean almost zero. But she did great nonetheless with an A*, five A's and four B's, she's well into her college and has chosen some pretty tough subjects at A levels.

My sister made bread tonight, it was delicious.

Day 204.

My mum took my sister and I to a sushi bar for lunch this afternoon, it was about 10 times the price of the sushi bars we went to in Hong Kong, this makes me very sad as it wasn't even half as good. I think everyone, apart from us, already knew it was expensive anyway. We are mugs.

Day 166.

Today has gone by pretty quickly, I don't know where it's gone, unusual for the summer holidays.
My sister finished her GCSE exams today so we went out for dinner to celebrate a little, we'll be celebrating again when my Mum's not working on Sunday. But Lucy was desperate to show me how The Glasshouse rolled, pretty pricey but nice enough as it happens.
