today we hung around for a bit then went to a work house. the work house is a victorian poor house were poor people came to live but they all got seperated into different sections so they couldnt see there family unless they left. they did this because it was law that they had to accept any poor person in and that would mean more money to bee spent on food and such, so they didnt want it to be an enjoyable thing. obviously by the name you can tell that they had to work ver hard and for a long time with no pay (except for stay and meals). it was pretty cool and zena was very excited becaused she had been learnig about it in school. then for dinner we had mcdonalds wich was quite different because they had the burgers and mcchicken and fries (chips) but everything else was different they had a deli section with all sorts of wraps and crap and instead of cookies like mom usually gets there are muffins,brownies, and get this dougnuts. so zena got fish sticks, scarlet got chicken nuggets, laura got some bean wrap, and simon got a burger, and i had a mcchicken wich had a a diffent crust on the chicken then in america, at home its spicy and flavourful, but here it was plain, but still good, i think it was better quality meat though. Oh and for lunch we had tomatoe soup and peta bread and the tomatoe soup was different it had more spices and things in it and was good even though i dont like luiquid lunch. earlier in the day me and the girls did some draawing and it was fun i think laater in the week i will go out to the churches and draw. but at bed time i read the story again, then watched some tellie with laura as simon packed for his trip to LA tommorow. oh and laura added that one of the guys i went to the movies with who was american, his aunt was audrey hepburn, she thought mom might like that...
