Half Term!!! (Oops, reading week...)
Well we're at the beginning of half term reading week (apparently it's not a holiday but a chance to catch up on all the required reading). However, for me it'll have to be a holiday. I'm so tired, that I can't think straight anymore and I need a break.
Today, Carolyn is coming up to spend some time with me, which will be lovely. Not sure what we're going to do yet, we'll decide that when she gets here. I also went to the supermarket today and bought a bottle of Winter Pimms...mmmmh!
In other news, Ellie got married yesterday - here's to the new Mrs Clack! It was a lovely wedding and she looked beautiful. Christians have the best weddings. People actually know the songs, sing along and join in with the 'interactive' parts of the service. Probably partly because they all feel comfortable in a church and are at ease with it. So anyway, it was a great occasion, and half of St John's turned out for it - which was really bizarre, but very nice for all of us b/c there were lots of people we knew and could talk to.
Et Voila
My new sofa...it's very comfortable!!
A pig of a day
Have you ever had a day where more or less everything seems to conspire against you? Well today was that day. I had a lecture where I thought was none, therefore giving me the issue of when to take the car to the garage to be fixed. When I got to the garage, the hire car wasn't there to be picked up. So it took 2 hours instead of twenty minutes to fix that little issue.
Then I got back to college, having missed lunch, to sit in another meeting for an hour, stomach grumbling, finally got back to my flat in order to make a phone call to the sofa dispatch people who were due to deliver my new sofa tomorrow. Sadly the delivery time was the only three hour window I couldn't make, but they didn't want to know that. Apparently, that was the scheduled time, like it or lump it (actually, or wait another two weeks for a new delivery slot). Well I had to lump it as I'm sofa-less at the moment which is seriously impeding my social activities. So my lovely neighbour, Gill, is going to take charge tomorrow evening.
On the upside, I had the hottest curry I ever had tonight - cooked by Dominic, one of our mixed mode students from Bradford. Boy it was hot. But I hardly noticed it after the third glass of wine. Strange that! :-)
