first up, i’ve graduated from university. the ceremony was alright, the director of the school gave a cool speech, but the peacock theatre was too damn hot. i managed to keep the gown on, and walk off the stage without tripping over my gown or the stairs.

so, hurray to me. send me my graduation congratulations and presents now, y’all.

apart from that, i have had a hell of a holiday (in both the positive and negative sense). let’s just say that spending 10 days in almost 10 different places and beds is NOT ideal. from now on, i am refusing to spend less than 2 nights in any one place whilst on holiday.

but still, wales was cool. brecon beacons, the pembrokeshire coast, the great orme and snowdonia. ireland was all green and guinness, cork, limerick and dublin. i am now on the hunt for a recipe for cawl.

before all this, there was scotland, on an island called islay where we spent a week in isolated drunken merrriment. what did you expect, living in a converted church between two of the most famous scotch whisky distilleries? there was also oysters at 50p a pop, lots of technicolour seaweed, and just too many sheep.

right-o. that’s all i can get in now as my bum is starting to melt into my chair. iced lemon tea is calling.
