Sunday 27th: rambling? bowling.

I'd signed up for the rambling mystery walk for today. This is where the secretary of the club picks a location which is secret to everyone else. I'm not exactly sure what the benefit of that would be, but I was interested because we were just taking a minibus for this day, which apparently would mean that we could get to some places which were not accessible with the normal large coach bus that we normally take.

I got ready and then waited at the point where I was supposed to be picked up. The times were slightly different for today since there were limited people coming. The bus stops at multiple locations throughout the campus and in the suburbs, so I was the only one getting on at this stop. I was 5 minutes early. The bus didn't show up. After some time, probably about 10 minutes, it was 5 minutes later than when the bus was supposed to arrive. I wondered if I'd missed the bus. I decided to walk to a different bus stop which was the last place the bus would be picking up people. I got there and met another girl also waiting for the rambling bus. I'd met her a few weeks earlier. She's from Manchester and studies nutrition. She was early as well, so it looked like we hadn't missed the bus. At a time about 20 minutes later than the bus was supposed to arrive someone stopped by us in a small car. He told us that the secretary couldn't get the minibus to work, so the walk was cancelled. Damn.

I walked back home and had some relaxing time in my room. I missed brunch because I changed my phone clock forward an hour but forgot to do the same to my laptop. The clocks changed last night. I was annoyed at missing brunch.

Some other people had talked about having a picnic today, but it was cancelled because the weather was not that great. Grey overcast.

In the afternoon Matthias let me know that they were going ice skating. I walked to Fred's house and met Fred, Matthias, and Charlotte. We walked to the ice skating place. Their last ice skating session was finishing in 15 minutes, so we'd have to do that another day. The bowling place was just around the corner. We decided to bowl instead.

We played two games.I won the first, and Matthias won the second. Fred had an unlucky streak for both games after a pretty good opening performance.

After bowling, I played some air hockey against Matthias. I won the first game, Matthias won the second.

 After that we went to find a chinese restaurant. We found a buffet chinese restaurant. It was fairly cheap and good. We ate lots of chinese stuff. I remembered again that food is supposed to taste like something. For dessert I ate lots of jelly and a few other things. I like jelly.

Then we walked home. Fred asked if I wanted to hang out for a while but I was feeling pretty tired so I went home.
