Seems like a while since I posted something...

So here goes! What have I been up to? Well, the weekend was a quiet one. We had out National Insurance appointments on Saturday morning. National Insurance here is like social security. We need a number, or are recommended to get one. It serves us no benefit, other than if we want to apply for residency in the future, we are seen to have been doing the right thing all along. Nothing too traumatic, so hopefully we will get our numbers in a month or so.

Saturday afternoon I crashed out. Scott and I went our separate ways in Shepherd's Bush. I went home, while he went to the library to return my books. Good man. :-) I watched a couple of movies, then had a nice nap.

We were going to go out with Jake and Sarah for drinkies, but I felt too sick. I didn't want to sit in a smoky pub for hours and come out feeling worse than ever. It was a pity, because I was really looking forward to seeing them. They are fun, and we got along quite well last time we saw them. We might be catching up for drinks on Friday night, as it is the night before a long weekend. Yay for Christian holidays! :-)

I am looking forward to watching a particular programme on television tonight. There is a documentary on The Iceman (for the uneducated - the 5000 year old man found in the Alps). I was watching the ad for it, and who should pop onto the screen but my former lecturer, the lovely Dr Tom Loy? Yay! All the way on the other side of the world, and I have a connection to my old uni, courtesy of the BBC. :-) I just wish I could tape it, but we only have a dvd player.

I think that's about it for me at the moment. I am feeling a bit better, I have a delightful cough at the moment, but that's the way these things seem to go for me.

Toodles!!!!!!!!!!!
