Day 49: Thursday
Today I actually woke up early because we were going to the famous Osborne house, the home of Queen Victoria after the death of her husband, Prince Albert. It is a very English thing to do, to wander around a country house, then go to the tearoom for lunch. The house was impressive and had a lot of cool pieces of history, most particularly a family tree which showed how basically every monarchy in Europe stemmed from Victoria’s family. Then Elli and her mother left because Elli had a horseback riding appointment, and me, Nick, Victoria, and Charles wandered around the grounds for a little bit longer, then drove home. Tea and hanging around until dinner, which Elli made and I attempted to help. I grated an entire block of cheese! We had cauliflower cheese, which was pretty good for it being mushy veggies. We had some champagne with dinner! After dinner, we decided to try to fix my computer, and since I’ve been insisting all along that it’s only the battery, we tried plugging it in into Elli’s charger, and lo and behold….computer resurrection! I was so happy to have a function computer again. YAAAAAY!!!! After much rejoicing in the return of my computer, it was time for bed.
