Just a short note unfortunately. I had promised to update again before October; however that is this week, and the post I was going to make hasn't materialised yet, partially because I don't have all the items I wanted to use, and mostly because I have yet another stinking cold and I feel like absolute rubbish.
So, I shall be back before much longer, but it may be a little later than I previously promised - for that I apologise.
See you soon!

Am getting crap again
Well, I've managed to let this slide yet again - its been over a month since I updated. On the bright side thought, I did muck around on Twitter the other day, so at least there's been something new on these pages.
I was about to say 'not much to say really', which clearly isn't true cos my friend M has been staying with me for the last 2 weeks. We've been about - castles, the seaside, Edinburgh and now we're in London. Not sure how I allowed myself to be talked into the last part because I genuinely don't like London - its nothing against my fine capital city, but something about it just gives me the willies. No idea why.
Edinburgh was pretty cool - I actually remembered to take some pictures when we went on the open top bus tour. If anyone cares, remind me to upload them - would do it now but I didn't bring my camera cord with me and I don't have a memory-card slot on my lappy-top.
Went on a ghost tour the first night. Have to say, was a tad disappointed. It was pretty hokey - I was expecting something a bit more historical rather than theatrical. In the end it felt like the tour guide was trying to scare us, which I wouldn't have minded except there was nothing to be scared of. No ghosties anywhere near (and yes I do believe in them) - M and I had more fun comparing US/UK sign language in the shadows at the back. Kept fighting the urge to blow tour guide's candle out (not a euphamism, we were underground and he really had a candle).
Saw a couple of street performers too - a cocky-ass Canadian who juggled with a chainsaw (but wouldn't effin shut up!) and a much cooler Polish fire-breather - he was very good. Much quieter too!
Okay, am signing off now because I'm sat up typing and slightly hunched over, and my back is killing me now! Hopefully I'll remember to update again before October.
Uni classes start week after next. Update on those, I promise!!!
