Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I woke up in my tiny flat on Portswood Road, right? The sun was blaring through my curtains like it was auditioning for a role in a horror flick. I was like, “Ugh, not today!” But ya know, life doesn’t care about your plans.
First thing, I hit up the café on the corner of Portswood and St. Denys. You know the one, right? The one with the weirdly named pastries? I ordered a flat white, and the barista, bless her, was all smiles. But then, she dropped my coffee! Like, seriously? I was ready to throw a fit. But then she laughed it off, and I couldn’t help but chuckle too. It’s just coffee, right?
So, I’m walking down Portswood Road, and I see this massive crowd outside the Co-op. I’m thinking, “What’s the drama?” Turns out, they were having a sale on those fancy vegan sausages. I mean, who knew? People were practically fighting over them! I was like, “Chill, it’s not the last sausage on Earth!” But hey, to each their own, right?
Then, I decided to pop into the charity shop on the High Street. You know, the one with the dodgy smell? I found this old vinyl of The Beatles. I was buzzing! But then, I noticed the price tag. £10? For a scratched-up record? Nah, mate, not today! I put it back and walked out, feeling like I dodged a bullet.
Next, I strolled down to the park. It was packed with families and kids running around. I saw this little kid, probably about five, trying to fly a kite. The kite was all tangled up, and he was getting so frustrated. I felt for him, man. I mean, we’ve all been there, right? I wanted to help, but I also didn’t wanna be that weird adult. So, I just stood there, watching him struggle.
And then, boom! Outta nowhere, this dog comes charging at me. I’m talking full-on sprint mode. I’m like, “What the heck?!” The owner was chasing after it, yelling, “Biscuit, come back!” I couldn’t help but laugh. Biscuit? Really? That dog was living its best life, and I was just a bystander.
After that, I headed to the pub on the corner of Portswood and Cemetery Road. You know the one, right? The one with the dodgy karaoke nights? I thought, “Why not?” I ordered a pint, and the vibe was chill. But then, this guy starts singing “Wonderwall” like he’s the next big thing. I mean, come on! It was so bad, I had to cover my ears. But everyone was loving it! I was like, “What’s wrong with you people?”
As the night went on, I bumped into some mates. We ended up at the kebab shop on the way home. You know, the one that’s always open late? I ordered a doner, and it was glorious. I mean, who doesn’t love a good kebab after a night out?
But then, as I was walking back, I saw this old lady struggling with her shopping bags. I rushed over, feeling like a superhero. I helped her carry them to her flat on St. Denys. She was so grateful, and it made my day. Sometimes, it’s the little things, ya know?
So, I finally got home, exhausted but happy. Portswood, man, it’s a wild place. Full of surprises, laughter, and a bit of chaos. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. What a day!
