Day 300.

Wow, only 65 days left, I'm kind of relieved actually, don't think I've done as well at this as I wanted to.
Today meant a bit of a skive and a trip to Brighton, everything about there is better than Portsmouth. This is the wall of the changing room at Ju-Ju, a shop that I like the look of but never buy anything from. It deserves a visit just for it's zebra-print exterior.

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!

Day 82.

Lucy is here. I haven't seen her since July last year and before then it was even longer.
Old friends are great, I think she is back to her normal self and that she's happy.
We went to the Historic Dockyard to celebrate her visit, and did all the paid activities, apart from the Naval Museum but the ticket's valid for a year anyway.
I liked the Warrior best. It's a pretty decent day out, and I'm not even really interested in that kind of thing anymore but, if you'd asked '11 year-old me' where a great place to go would be I'd say, 'to see the Mary Rose', which we didn't even see anyway because it's new museum is all under construction until 2012.
I wish she was staying a bit longer, but I'm looking forward to Moon's quiz later, particularly after all the history I absorbed today.
