Man, what a day! I woke up in Tranent, and I swear, it felt like the universe was just messin’ with me. First off, I’m a Kisen, right? So, I’m all about that chill vibe, but today? Nah, not happening.
So, I’m rollin’ outta bed, and my phone’s blowin’ up. It’s my mate, Jamie, like, “Yo, meet me at the High Street!” I’m like, “Sure, mate, but gimme a sec.” I throw on some clothes, grab a quick brekkie—just a slice of toast, ‘cause who’s got time for a full fry-up, right?
I step outside, and it’s drizzlin’. Classic Tranent weather. I mean, c’mon, it’s Scotland! I’m dodging puddles on the way to the High Street. I pass by the old Tranent Parish Church, and it’s lookin’ all majestic and stuff, but I’m too busy thinkin’ about how I’m gonna survive this day.
I finally get to the High Street, and Jamie’s there, lookin’ all smug. He’s like, “You’re late!” I’m like, “Bro, it’s Scotland! You know how it is!” We grab a coffee at the local café, and I’m tryin’ to sip it without spillin’ it all over myself. You know how it goes.
Then, outta nowhere, this guy starts shoutin’ about some lost dog. I’m like, “Dude, chill! It’s just a dog!” But he’s all frantic, runnin’ up and down the street. I mean, I get it, but c’mon, it’s not like it’s a unicorn or somethin’.
After that, we decide to hit up the Tranent Town Park. It’s a nice spot, but today? It’s packed with kids runnin’ around, and I’m just tryin’ to enjoy the fresh air. I see this wee lad on a bike, and he totally wipes out. I can’t help but laugh. I mean, it’s hilarious! But then his mum comes over, and she’s fumin’. Like, lady, it’s just a scrape!
We’re chillin’ on a bench, and I’m tryin’ to enjoy the moment, but then I get a text. It’s work. They need me to cover a shift. I’m like, “Are you kidding me?” I just wanna relax! But nah, duty calls.
So, I’m grumblin’ about it, and Jamie’s like, “C’mon, man, it’s just a shift.” I’m like, “Yeah, but it’s my day off!” We argue for a bit, but then we both just start laughin’. It’s ridiculous, really.
After that, we decide to hit up the Tranent Golf Club. I’m not even a golfer, but it’s a nice place to chill. We grab some drinks, and I’m feelin’ a bit better. The sun’s finally peekin’ out, and it’s actually warm. I’m thinkin’, “Maybe today ain’t so bad after all.”
But then, outta nowhere, this seagull swoops down and snatches my sandwich! I’m like, “What the actual heck?!” Jamie’s laughin’ his head off, and I’m just standin’ there, mouth agape. I mean, who knew seagulls were so bold in Tranent?
By the time we head back, I’m feelin’ all sorts of emotions. Happy, angry, surprised—like a rollercoaster, man. I get home, and I just crash on the couch. I’m thinkin’ about the day, and I can’t help but smile.
Yeah, it was a wild ride, but that’s Tranent for ya. Full of surprises, laughter, and a bit of chaos. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
