its a bloody long way to Stafford!

i woke up at 12 today. then i did bugger all for a bit, then left to walk into town at about 5 to 1.
i'd had a look on Google Earth before i left and it looked pretty simple. just walk down the road basically.
about 25 minutes later i found myself at Asda, which was a good sign. a minute or two later i was in the pedestrian shopping bit. i had a quick look round and was disappointed to find that the Sony Centre seemed to have closed down and the closest thing i could find to a collectable shop was in the market bit. i couldnt see anywhere else i'd be interested in working so i went to McDonalds for a Sweet Chilli Chicken Deli (had a look at the kitchen over the top of the production bin. i think im glad im not working there, although they did have their scissors hanging up on the wall, which is a good idea, cos ours kept going missing) and then tried to walk home.

i think i must have taken a wrong turning after the petrol station just up the road from Asda. i was walking along a road that did look like the right road, but i wasnt convinced so i stopped to ask a man walking his dogs who turned out to be the landlord of The Grapes in Stafford (the man, not the dogs) who told me how to get to the right road and stopped me from ending up in Cannock Chase. im gonna have to go for a drink in the Grape at some point.

later im going to have another wander round the campus and see if i can see anyone. i think theres Giant Games in the courtyard tonight. that means stuff like giant Connect Four and Jenga, not that they bring in some giants and you have to run up, kick them and run away again without being clubbed and/or eaten or something, which would also be fun.
