Look What Happened

Well, I've done fuck all. Not happy about that. I need to change, I really do - after this amazing month, if that can't change me, nothing will!

Nat is here now. We are going to watch Forest tomorrow! YOU REDS!

If It Takes You Home

YES! Finally! You know when you have a song in your head and you really have no idea who it's by? It seems to be a never-ending battle for me, but I experienced victory today! This was more of a riff though, and it's been floating around up there for months and months. Realisation came as I was working my way through Idlewild's back catalogue, something I seem to do with increasing regularity. I've not given "Make Another World" enough time, and I regret that. It's fab.

Soooo much to blog on. Gambia, Spain - I'll probably do all this tomorrow when I should be doing my Gambia portfolio. As for today, it's been a great day. Me, Guy, Linda and Pete actually made it to the library at TEN this morning (in the holidays no less!) to make little progress on our presentation. But it felt good all the same. Then Guy drove me and Linda around the Peaks as Linda has never been. We took in Eyam, which has a fascinating history, even though much of it isn't on show, for obvious reasons. We went to see the Boundary Stone however, which was more beautiful than anything. After a quick drink (of Coke for me) we drove on, eventually stopping at The Cat and Fiddle pub, which was a pretty unique experience. I have vowed to stay off drink for a week (more on this tomorrow), but I had to have a pint there. Delicious.

Okay, off to Guy's place to play Portal 2 with some mushroom curry!

Semi-Charmed Life

"Do all that you can, with all that you have, in the time that you have, in the place where you are."


-Nkosi Johnson (1989-2001).


This quote has so much meaning after coming back from The Gambia! Must progress.
