Happy Friday! How has your week been? I’m glad it’s almost June now. I had a very eventful week: on Saturday, I went to Greenwich to visit the maritime museum’s polar section and enjoyed it very much. Greenwich is very nice, especially as a tourist place: very friendly and easy to explore. There was a giant old sailboat that was also a museum, but I only saw the gift shop, and some giant marble buildings from the naval college.
I reaped the fruits of my budget-asceticism by spending lots on souvenirs. I found a pair of binoculars from the 1890s at a vintage-stuff market. When was the last time you went on vacation? Where did you go? I suppose this doesn’t count as a vacation like going up to Portland for a trampoline gym doesn’t, like we used to do. So I suppose mine was Disney a month ago. A few days later some friends and I made a charcuterie board and had a picnic in the warm weather, which was very nice. Are you able to do something like that yet? Mom keeps telling me it’s too cold back home. She’s been stuck spring-cleaning the moth situation. She deserves her beloved hot sun for that.
Speaking of animal problems, Pearl and Paris have taken to killing mice in the catio and bringing them inside. Aaron found one in bed. Nobody is pleased, but look at them contributing to the household! Sweethearts.
Besides this, I’ve mostly just been socializing and hanging out. I’m going to another town today to shop with somebody. Do you get to hang out with your friends much? Truth be told, I still love sleepovers. I have them with Emily sometimes back home. I wonder if you’ve stopped. Regardless, I’ve run out of time to write. I love you. Please stay safe. Two weeks from now, we’ll be closer to each other again.
With love,
Alice
