Exploring St Helier and progress on the book!

Saturday 30th December Day 161

After having a lay in we decide to have a wander around St helier which is the capital of Jersey and the main built-up area on the island so you have a main street with all the standard shops along it, although they have lost many of the high street names, the same as the UK. It’s just as windy over here and more so on the beach but the worst winds are to come. I don’t know if anyone saw on the news about the Tornado which hit jersey. It’s done so much damage to properties and businesses along it’s path it’s really sad to see all the scaffolding up on the streets when we go for our island tour next week.

I cracked on with some more editing and writing in the afternoon. I’m getting pretty sick of re-reading and adding to the book. For the millionth time I wish I’d planned more! ((Just get on with it and stop moaning oh and don’t forget the Tower Bridge story you started the other day!)) Oh yeah, so my friend ((Imaginary)) and I visited to London and we had one too many glasses of sparkling water so decided to get a large coffee and put the shades on and hopped onto the tour bus to enjoy the delights of London without breaking our delicate bodies. There were, I think, three different routes you could take. Anyway we went around a couple of times and then decided we would get off but I think the bus must have changed to a different route and didn’t go past our hotel so we decided to stay on until it changed. Well, we must have travelled over Tower Bridge about a million times ((Don’t exaggerate!)) okay, 999,999 times and did you know that you should never confuse London Bridge with Tower Bridge which is a common mistake! I think the commentary finished us off after we’d heard this 999,999 times by the end of it ((Well, that was worth the wait… not!))

I’ve not kept count the last few days but after a quick check I’ve added just over 4k to the Jersey mystery book so really happy with that. ((About time you did some actual work since it’s actually a work trip))

Until tomorrow… x
