Wow, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I woke up in my little flat on the High Street, right? The sun was shining, and I thought, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I had to get ready for my gig. You know, the whole geisha vibe—makeup, kimono, the works. But I spilled tea on my favorite kimono! Ugh! Like, who even does that? I was fuming. I mean, it’s not like I can just pop down to the shops on the High Street and grab another one.
Anyway, I finally made it out. The streets were buzzing. I strolled down the Esplanade, and the view of the Bristol Channel was just stunning. I mean, you can’t beat that, right? The water was glistening, and I thought, “Maybe today won’t be so bad.”
But then, I bumped into this bloke, right? Total muppet. He was on his phone, not looking where he was going. I nearly knocked him over! I was like, “Oi! Watch where you’re going!” He just mumbled something and kept walking. Rude!
So, I headed to the Portishead Marina. It’s always a vibe there. Boats bobbing, people laughing, and I thought, “This is more like it!” I grabbed a coffee from one of those cute little cafes. The barista was super friendly, and we chatted about the weather. Classic British small talk, but it made me smile.
Then, outta nowhere, it started to rain! Like, proper rain. I was soaked in seconds. I mean, come on! I just got my hair done! I ducked into a shop on the High Street to escape the downpour. It was one of those quirky little places, full of random stuff. I found a rubber duck dressed as a pirate. I mean, who doesn’t need that?
After the rain stopped, I decided to take a walk along the seafront. The wind was wild, and I felt like I was in a movie or something. I could see the cliffs in the distance, and it was just breathtaking. But then, I saw a seagull swoop down and steal someone’s chips! I couldn’t help but laugh. Those birds are savage!
As I walked back, I passed by the old church on the corner of Church Road. It’s so beautiful, but kinda spooky too. I always think about the stories it could tell. Like, what if the walls could talk?
Then, I got a call from my friend. She was in a bit of a pickle. Her date stood her up! I was like, “Girl, let’s go out! We’ll hit up The Poacher’s Pocket.” It’s this cozy pub, and they have the best fish and chips. So, we met up, and I ordered a pint.
We ended up laughing about her date. I mean, who needs that drama? We had a blast, just chatting and people-watching. The vibe in Portishead is just so chill.
But then, as we were leaving, I saw that same muppet from earlier! He was with a group of mates, and I couldn’t resist. I walked past and said, “Hey, mate! Still not looking where you’re going?” His face was priceless!
By the time I got home, I was exhausted but happy. Portishead is wild, man. Full of surprises. I love it here, even when it drives me mad. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
