All Things Ness

CONSPIRACY THEORY: THE LOCH NESS MONSTER. REAL OR JUST CRAY CRAY WITNESSES? OOPSIES CAPSLOCK IS ON. mum is basically forcing all of us to write some stuff so that she doesn't have to write the blog. Today we started the day off by going to the loch ness centre and exhibition. Why does this computer not have spell check, it's so annoying. It doesn't even automatically make the first letter of the first sentence upper case. stupid laptop. soooooooooooooooo, the exhibition was a series of videos and it was rlly interesting but it was also kinda cold in there, they should turn town the ac. Ngl, i was a bit disappointed at the end of the exhibition because they never rlly told me wether the loch ness monster was real or not. I remeber this one time i was in Opa and Oma's room and there was this movie about the Loch Ness monster and it was a lil bit scary. At the end of the exhibition there was this voting station thingo where you could place a lil token into a box. U were basically voting on which living creature is the most monsterlike if the loch ness monster wasnt real. Wasn't v nice bcos there were no more tokens left. After all the information was absorbed into my giant brain, there was a shop section where we bought the book "Hamish the Hairy Haggish" for Alana. I think imma have nightmares from the front cover. We drove before snatching a quick shot of some lake river thing where the loch ness monster "lives" and i was rlly rlly rlly hungry but we had to go see some graveyard thing. it started sprinkling so nana had to put on her hood bcos she doesn't like to get her hair wet even tho it looks the same and then we went for lunch at this place that had rlly good food. we hopped back into the car and drove to some place to walk. it was v mossy and treeeeeeeeeeeees. i'm glad i wore my water proof shoes cos it was reaaaaaaaaaaal boggy and slippy slidy mud. elliot threw a pinecorn at my face so i vowed to get revenge. and then i kicked jonan in the face by accident when i got into the car. okeledokele, imma skip through some boring driving stuff until we go back to base and go to a bookstore that smells rank. it's real stanky but there are some pretty g books in there. Jonah, Elliot and myself found a book called. dang it. i can't remeber the name of the book. it was someting along the lines of postcard or something. nvm. But there was another book with a funny title, How To Dunk A Doughnut, which Jonah bought and imma tell you it's real scientifical and legit. We walked back to our apartment, had some down time and then went back out again for dinner to some restaurant a few blocks down. Their bread was so good but josina had 6 slices of it and then nobody had any bread to eat with the broccooooliiiiiii soup. now my fingers and brain is kinda sore so imma just give the lappie back to mumsies. mkay byyyyyyyyyyye.

Lara's colourful entry needed some translation on the run (eg ngl is supposedly "not going to lie"), but was still easier than understanding Scottish. Perhaps the text speech was a deliberate ploy to avoid future duties! Hmmm
