Day 130 Scarily heavy rain again today so it looks like we'll have to wait until New Zealand for our next beach day... hard life hahahah! My email inbox was quite lively today: 1.Rosa Menendez, a lecturer from Lancaster Uni, had emailed asking me whether I could drop off my Field Logbook from the Spanish Field Course, so that she could use it to show this year's prospective students. Flattering but I had to laugh, as I replied saying that her office was a litt...

Day 126 What a day! Rosemaree came back from the markets, had her two minute power nap before springing up again and what followed can only be described as 'major beef'! At lunchtime, I had went to have one of the left over sausages in my toasted sandwhich, slightly miffed to find the whole bowl gone. Well, Rosemaree was more than miffed :( Not only had Darcy and Peter eaten 5 sausages and 2 chicken fillets, but also noodles, several pastries, 3 whole jugfuls of...

I was almost about to ring Rachel to resuce me with google maps when the (biggest and steepest) hill leveled out to the top of Forrest Street. 9-11am must be the hottest time of day, i swear! Also, i found out later that Brad had driven past me in his...

Day 121 I was in a working mood today, managing to revise a massive 6 lectures; i remember days back in lancaster when revising just 3 would put in my pyjamas by about 8pm lol. Hopefully, if i keep this up and don't become too distracted with all the DVDs my mum has sent over, i can finish molecular revision a day early.... BEACH TRIP :D :D Darcy had really good news today; he's been selected bu the headmaster to start a select course as he shows great leaders...
