Note
(rest day)
hmmm okies so today was bad. i spent 3 hours waiting at the hospital to see a doctor just so i could get some antibiotics for my tonsils.
Oh and by the way, I am not going to train at all this week to make the antibiotics work faster.
then i went to see callum, he and his friend came to meran to see me :) so that was nice. BUT as we were walking over the bridge to go to the swimming pool this police car pulled up with its sirens flashing and then drove off really fast in a hurry. How odd we thought, because this was a pedestrian strip. Then we heard more sirens, and we joked to ourselves "oh maybe someone has fallen in the river" ...and then we saw a shoe...and the rest of the body, floating face down in the river, tumbling over rocks. most horrific thing ive seen. fairly sure she was dead and i think the firemen who were trying to get into the river to get her out thought so too.
Ive seen dead bodies before but not like that... it was very disturbing and i think it freaked out Callum and her friend as well.
