A Change Of Plans

I said a few months ago that I was going to be starting another college course in South Shields in the Tyne And Wear county of England. The more I thought about it the less I really wanted to do the college thing after all. This way I'll still be able to travel around. I've also reregistered as self-employed. Even if I don't make a lot, I can still claim some things as expenses when it comes to filing taxes. I know I probably will have left the UK by then and I have no respect for authority, but it also keeps the said authorities off my back and covers me in case the artificial border control people decide to not respect my right to travel and work freely. I'm at my grandparents' right now in Lincolnshire for another week. I was in Taunton in Somerset England, but sadly for half the time I was there, I felt like doing very little thanks to a cold. Having said that though, last weekend I was in the charming town of Heswall in Cheshire. The place I stayed at had an orchard outside and some tasty apples. I went to a fabric shop in town and got a sewing pattern for some trousers and top. I got enough fabric this week for Nan to hopefully make the trousers and two t-shirts. There is a pizza place called Zizzi in Taunton that says it has vegan options, but for some reason it had only 2 pizzas 2 pastas and a dessert, which I found disappointing compared to the regular menu which had loads as well as some risittos. They make it out like this house is so small, when really to me it looks massive and they have plenty of space to put things. If there really is not enough room to have more than one peron stay at a time, why not for example take away the double bed and put a single one in? Then there really will be even more space.

Falling Off The Bandwagon

I've been full of cold for nearly the last week now, but really haven't felt like writing anything for a while. Since I've been staying with the grandparents and having them cook things and here in Taunton ordering takeaways and eating out a lot morethan I would like, I've really fallen off the zerowaste bandwagon. Nan and Grandad have no zerowaste shops near them, so of course all the rice and pasta etc is in packaging (most or aall of which is plastic). Takeaways make up so much waste as well. I have saved a lot for leftovers, but unlike homemade food, takeaway curryfor example loses its appeal over time. Homemade curry I find tends to increase in flavor over time, so it really doesn't matter if you leave it in the fridge 1 day or 3. I would go to the zerowaste shop tomorrow and get some dry ingredients, but from here getting tthe bus is awkward to find so would have to get a taxi or walk and argue with the parked cars on the side of the road.
