Day 36;
So today was another standard day
within my morning routine with one difference which was today I ate chocolate wheat-a-bix
for breakfast not just the standard wheat-a-bix.
But then after I had completed that
I had to go outside of my home with my parents and one of my sisters, to go to
the nearby city and it was my sister that was driving, but not the one that has
passed her driving test it was the other one, the Alice. So Mike made it his duty
to tell Alice where to go and how to drive really repeatedly like by instead of
saying “turn the steering wheel left” like an ordinary civilised human would he
stated “Left. left, left, you have to turn the wheel left, left or you’ll crash”
within the mean time Tina and I were sitting on two separate seats behind the
two of them which were sitting on the drivers seat and the passengers seat respectively.
The first place that we visited on
our journey was a shoe shop of which Mike wanted to go to get some new shoes.
cue the following song, with some questionable lyrics.
He made a comment on how expensive
they were £35, and then he bought them ever though Tina found 2 more pairs of cheaper
shoes the first was only £30 and they were the nicest pair in my opinion, the
second pair she found cheaper were £32 and they looked about the same as the
first pair that he actually bought for £3 more, what I don’t understand Mike,
as in the next shop that we visited we went to buy dinning supplies, as in mats
and spoons, we got some spoons and we got two sets of mats we got one set of 6
cheep ones and then mike decided to pick up 8 more but more expensive ones they
were actual fabric ones as well which means that after every use of them they
are going to have to be put into the washing machine.
My aunt, Dr Savage, is the only one
of my close relatives on the Savage side of my family that is living out of the
East of England for the moment as she is living in Wales just out side of
Cardiff, as that was/is (I’m unsure) where she worked/works at the University
in Cardiff, but she has been applying for many jobs including some in Cambridge
and if you don’t know your British geography then I’ll explain it like this say
you had a piece of green A4 paper and that’s main land Britain well you could
cut the top half of it off as that is Scotland now you’ve got England and Wales
left England is the majority of the bottom sheet with jus a bit in the top left
corner of the sheet that is Wales, well Cardiff is in the bottom right hand
corner of Wales and the east of England is on the opposite side of that piece
of paper and below Wales is the sea followed by a bit of Cornwall but that’s on
the bottom of the page but the thing is that her/Mike’s mother/my grandmother/Pam
has moved quite close to our house and Cambridge which is where the job that
she has been offered is only just under one hour away from the place that we
live. So if anyone is thinking of going to the Anglia Ruskin University in
Cambridge and is thinking of doing a degree in chemistry or biology look out
you may have a short person with black/brown hair teaching you next year who is
called Dr Savage, if that’s you I pity you.
But that may have been what has
happened to me this day but it’s not been all that I have thinking about today.
As I have been thinking about the
following question
Why do women wear bikinis?
For the sole/only reason that the
question popped up after I was watching youtube video on geek week, by the way
I don’t mean popped up as in a popup window I mean it caught my eye as you know,
I hope that you do anyway, that when you mouse over a picture it tells you the
title of the video. So I clicked on it and this is what I got a video stating
the following data.
The first recorded time that lipstick was used was by a pharaoh
of Egypt , called
Cleopatra, which was approximately 2000 years BCE
and back then it was made from ground beetles. But then from the Dark ages
until 1910, which was the concept of a period of intellectual darkness and
economic regression that supposedly occurred in Europe following the collapse
of the Western Roman Empire which was from about 420 CE until about 480 CE, then
for the following period of time the only reason that you’d wear lipstick would
be if you were a prostitute until 1910.
Then it goes on to state that the bikini was first unveiled
on the 5th of July 1946 in France, Then it goes back in time almost
100 years to show you what swimsuits looked like back then it skips forward to
the 1920’s which looks like an PE kit with the sleeves cut off, then it states
that today bearing flesh gives women anxiety, which means A feeling of worry,
nervousness, or unease, and I didn’t know that much about women and their
feelings towards the type of swimming costume that exposes your navel I have
never worn a swimming costume that hasn’t exposed my navel from my first
swimming experience which was in some swimming pants (Speedos not trousers to
all of my probably nonexistent readers from the US or some country where they
teach you American-English not English-English), but since then I have worn
swimming trunks which are more of swimming shorts (shorts are like trousers but
they have been cut off at the knee).
So the video didn’t answer the question that it asked in the
title a little bit like some of my blogposts when I have asked a question as
the title I think.
