Urg. I hate it when you’ve been slogging away all week for the wunches and then you look at your own personal to-do list at home and it’s as long as your bosses at work. Nevermind, only another two weeks to go and then I’ll be going back to University for a rest

Made the decision that if it fits into my timetable I’ll do Japanese next term. If it doesn’t I’ll just wimp out and do Italian. I’m not one for making life harder.

Things I must do:

Arrange dinner with Pog, Emerald Empress, and Cheapy. It’s been Far Too Long ladies. We have cheap flights to NYC, jobs, Uni acceptances and such to chat about! A burlesque tea sounds fab Cheapy, when and where?

Gamba’s leaving do! Looking forward to that one.

Dinner with ‘the mentor’ Caz (that should be a new reality TV show “You’re mentored!”) – you up for a dinner in a couple of weeks in town after work/Uni?

Go to IKEA. I am looking forward to that (I am strange and half Swedish so it’s to be expected.) Bubb and I are going to look at new Kitchens, dead exciting.

On the house front we’ve finished out plans in our 3D CAD program and it looks very impressive. (NB: Miss Sith please see what is on the projector.) In reality we have finally got the mortgage approved on the place (there is a backlog of new buyers apparently) and we are waiting on the vendors solictor for a completion date.

Hopefully *everything crossed* we shall have our very own two bed flat within a 5 minute walk of Shad Thames in precisely 4-5 weeks. Hurrah! We have already found a good local pub (complete with ‘salt of the earth’ publicans, a dying art/person I feel) where we plan a moving-in bash.

Sort through evilBaying. A large pile of secondhand and new photography goods came last night. I need to sort and play with them. A result for me on customs for once (this month it’s Customs 2 Bobble 1), my new light meter (v. posh) snuck through from Hong Kong with nary a customs charge and only took three days to arrive. Result.

Reading. Start reading my coursework and stop reading Philip Pullman novels. I finished ‘The Amber Spyglass’ last night and it’s the first time I’ve ever cried on a tube over a book. Great, great writing. It wasn’t the ending I sobbed over either. Without giving too much away it was the part where Lee and Hester are ‘reunited’.

I really hope they do not fuck up the movie (part of me wants it never to be made) but the fact that they have cast Nicole Kidman as Mrs Coulter gives me slight hope. Why oh why can’t Peter ‘LoTR’ Jackson do it?
