'a desire to not let slip altogether away our lives as we have known them..'So yeah, this is a fulfillment of that desire you could say. Plus I want to get into blogging properly (check out my poetry/fiction and music review blogs for more stuff - the former being one I intend to reboot soon).
So today (or rather yesterday seeing as I'm posting this after midnight) marks the end of my first full day back in Plymouth after a weekend at home in sunnier Orpington, Kent to celebrate my 23rd birthday (I don't feel old yet). The weekend consisted of chocolate (ever eaten an artisan German chocolate key?), improvised wrapping paper, a trip to Bluewater (huge shopping centre) which yielded a tweed-style jacket and a very cut-price wheelie suitcase, many episodes of the animated comedy Archer, too much tasty Japanese food, and lots of reading on the train (there and back!) Still had some reading to go this morning but it all paid off as my 2 hour workshop proved I knew my stuff!
But the forecast storm [Barney] sure did hit hard, blowing us all to and from classes like parachutes (if we felt so inclined to spread our coat-wings wide) and whistling through any less than air-tight window or door - as was the case with my evening German class (Today: how to ask for directions, and how the simplest numbers just fail you when you're holding a fly swat - the aim of the game being to slap the corresponding number with the swat when it is called).
And it being such a busy day, I've barely had time to restock my fridge, but at least my love for avocados can continue to be sated thanks to my post-German shopping session at the local Co-op <3
Tomorrow looks to be a mixed bag - I do hope it all tastes good (haha, oh dear)
Oh and the content of this blog will change as I get better so watch this space for all kinds of stuff - photography, music links, quotes, etc.
