Två dagar efter att gäst-familjen åkt hem så åkte syster hem, och nu sitter jag här i min ensamhet; med hunden i fotändan av sängen och datorn i knät och ska försöka sammanfatta min semester. Har några dagar kvar visserligen (åker inte hem igen förrän den 9e) men ändå.
Hittils har det ändå varit väldigt skönt att vara här. Som en liten mini-semester. ☺ Innan Cissi åkte hem åkte vi ner till Cannes och åt glass en dag då solen sken (det har varit soligt i totalt 3 dagar sen jag kom hit, resten av dagarna har det varit regn), åkt in till Nice, köpt nya skor på H&M när sulorna på skorna jag hade med mig lossnade och släppte in en massa vatten - fick sedan gå runt i mina gamla, blöta skor hela dagen eftersom de inte får ha saxar i kassorna här pga att det är en säkerhetsrisk. Åkte hem till Liz senare på dagen, lånade en sax av henne och fick på mig nya torra skor, satt och pratade med henne och hennes familj en stund, åkte hem och hämtade mamma och pappa, sen ner till Cannes för middag på La Pizza Cresci i Cannes. ☺ Bra dag det där, men sen åkte Cissi hem igen och det var slut på det roliga.
Nyår satt vi "hemma" och eldade i öppen spisen. Hunden rymde genom ett hål i staketet och kom inte tillbaks, som han brukar, när vi ropade. Jag och mamma fick ta med en ficklampa och gå ut och leta. Jag var livrädd att han skulle blir rädd när fyrverkerierna startade, springa ner till stora vägen och bli påkörd eftersom han är svart och inte syns i mörkret. Men han kom tillbaks till slut så det slapp vi oroa oss för. Och sen har det inte hänt så mycket mer. Det har regnat så vi har mest stannat inne och sett på film. Också mysigt, men i morgon ska jag nog försöka ge mig ut och hitta på något så man inte sitter inne resten av semestern.
I've been really bad at writing during the holidays, I know. This is mostly due to the fact that me and my sister left tor France on the 19th of December. Two days after we got here we got a visit from a family that my parents know back in Sweden who stayed for four days. This family has two children (age 5 and 7), so most of our Christmas holiday was spent making sure that these kids didn't do anything they weren't supposed to, and go on a few "outings" so that they got to see stuff while they were here.
Two days after this family left my sister went home, so now I'm all alone; on my bed with my laptop and the dog at the foot of my bed, trying to summarise my holiday. I do have a few days left (I leave on the 9th of January), but still.
Up 'til now though I've had a pretty great time. Like a mini-vacation. ☺ Just before my sister left we went to Cannes and had ice cream (it's been sunny for a total of 3 days since I got here, the rest of the time it's been raining. That day was one of those sunny days), gone to Nice and bought new shoes at H&M since the sole came off on the shoes I'd brought with me and they leaked water - unfortunately they don't keep scissors at the cash registers here because it's a safety hazard, so I had to walk around with wet shoes for the rest of the day. Later we went to see Liz at her house so I borrowed a pair of scissors from her and finally got to put on a pair of dry shoes, spent some time talking to her and her parents, and then went home to pick up our parents to go and have dinner at La Pizza Cresci in Cannes. ☺ It was a pretty good day. But then my sister left and the fun was over.
On New year's eve we just stayed "home" and spent the evening in front of the fire place. The dog ran away through a hole in the fence, and didn't come back when we called him like he usually does, so me and my mom had to get a flashlight and go look for him. I was pretty worried that he'd get scared by the fireworks, run down to the main road and get hit by a car since he's black and they wouldn't be able to see him in the dark. Thankfully he came back after a while so we didn't have to worry about that.
Other than that nothing much has been going on. It's been raining so we've mostly stayed in and watched movies. Which is nice but I think that tomorrow I'll try to get out of the house and go do something so I don't spend the rest of my vacation indoors.
