School is ON

Right. So school started in September and since then I've been kind of busy.
Assessments are coming up and I've decided to not worry about the perennial diet until afterwards - otherwise the whole thing is just too much pressure all in one.

It's good fun though and I've met some very nice people and made a great friend. I've done open day tours, discovered UCAS and generally faffed about with regards to what to do next. I think it might be quite nice though to have a nice, proper University diploma, with lots of fancy words and the abbreviation BA on there somewhere.

We now have a new fence, very nice; new driveway, very nice; and an electrically safe kitchen, even nicer.

We have not had a holiday this year which is a bit of a bummer considering the weather, but continue to make grandiose plans for next year to make up for this.

We are planning on hosting christmas dinners at our house, for the first time. Maybe not such a good idea to be practicing on the mother in law for my first ever turkey, but I figure if she wanted it to be edible, she'd make it herself.

I went to London and saw lots of interesting art shows, we went to a music gig where we were invited to the after party, but sadly had to leave to catch our train before the thing kicked off properly, and have been to several comedy gigs around the area.

Dinners with friends, quick scoot to Iceland and general angst, sturm und drang, and otherwise bitchiness from me on some days and then on other days we're cool and groovy and the life of the party. Eh, what stress can do to you. That's my new excuse for everything and it's going down well so far.

Other Half is still being divine. After seven years as a couple and three years married (so 10 total :-) I find that very impressive and reassuring. He even tells me that all things considered, knowing what he knows now, he'd marry me again. All together now: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
