Well, we finished uni nearly two weeks ago and I have got precious little done.
The first week was spent at the all-singing all-dancing all-new Ernulf – sorry, Caffe Zest at One Leisure. The re-incarnation of the old bar promised to be busy and good fun, even if it did have a roomful of screaming kids next door, guaranteed, at all times, by the soft play area.
Hours and hours of cleaning and getting “stuff” ready resulted in me, well, leaving at the end of the week – a lengthy story which I shall recount, erm, tomorrow or something.
Thursday day and night involved Alex, Russell, alcohol and fun times (the less said about the fallout the following day, the better). Good Friday saw me and Alex rather sickly-looking and boarding an old X5 to take us into Cambridge – she to meet Russell, me to meet Julie. That evening, went out with a lot of Julie’s friends to The Regal, where they insist on always going even though it is absolutely fucking awful.
A weekend of doing really very little, barely moving from the extremely comfortable sofa, followed. Ah to be rich and be able to laze around all day at will!
This week, me and Ben, and from tomorrow Marcus, are helping Rita from next door (to our old house) clean out her long-neglected garden, pull up weeds, fix fences and trellises and greenhouses, and shift three bedrooms’ worth of forty years’ worth of accumulated junk, erm, around. Today mainly involved driving a rented Transit around all day backwards and forwards to the tip, and hey, you know I love a van.
In between this and finding spiffy animal stories for a site I’m helping to run at the moment, AND writing bits of my 6000-word assignment, I really haven’t had time for much else. I haven’t cycled for ages, except to town and back; I haven’t cooked properly all week, I’ve been eating absolute shit and I feel ill.
Brilliant Easter holidays then, AND I only got one fucking Easter egg! The cheek!
An impulse purchase, too – he decided he wanted one at lunchtime and had one by close of play.
