( Plus the poem that went with it )

( I found my GCSE coursework :) )

Left work on friday, headed straight down to Reading, filled car with petrol, ate, early night. Up at 3.30, down to Bideford for dawn, decided it was too early, went to morrisons, had breakfast. Returned to park, met parents, put stuff to be loaded onto boat, got onto boat, talked to people, threw up a bit, got off boat, wandered up to island. Bright sunshine, warm, wasn't prepared for this, bought tshirt. Went for walk, climbed old lighthouse to collect letterboxing stuff at the top. Talked self all the way and all the way down. Walked right around the top, didn't sit in deckchairs. Forgot to collect stamp, will go again soon. Took some photos, ringed a Chaffinch. They keep saying I can do another, but one is enough. good food in pub, nice music. Lundy Folk Festival. Caught Some form of stomach bug thingy (it's been going round the island) threw up a lot. stomach hurts. but breakfast has stayed down :) Got lost in mist, found a cliff when I was expecting a wall. Found hay bales while hunting buildings, located self. Was on Lundy. Went to beach, returned, was a long way up. Fitter than I was. Barely halfway through. :)

Been to Yorkshire,

Left 2.30am on Friday and got to Flamborough Head at about 5.30 to watch the sun rise over the sea. It was a good sunrise, not spectacular, but it's the first I've seen over the sea, and I've wanted to see one for a long time.

Returned to Grandfathers for about 7.10. He woke up about 7.40, spent the time sat on the drive chatting to the guinea-pigs and watching the birds that were everywhere, as well as chatting to the sheep and checking what had changed.

Went shopping with parents, put tents up, generally sorting things out.
Others arrived, had fish and chips.

On Saturday, walked to Filey Brigg, was high tide, concluded this meant we were unlikely to get stuck as it was just past turning so scrambled along the rocks to the end. Then played Euchre, had birthday cake for Cali, and ate sausages.

On Sunday went to Bempton Cliffs, Flamborough Head (bit busier than at dawn) and then back to grandpas, played extreme drop, then more euchre.

Today, packed up, and came home. the Guinea-pigs have gone to kent. I will follow them on friday.

I like pretty things.
Now I have 9 balls of purple noro silk mountain.

:)

I bought myself 2 as a treat yesterday because they were cheap and being discontinued, and now I have 9 because I couldn't work out what I wanted to do with it and hence don't know that I'll only need 2 balls.

In the middle of the Atlantic is a divergent tectonic plate boundary. Across the Atlantic are trans atlantic communication cables. Does the first have any affect of the laying of the second, and if so, what?

Craving marmite...

Not had sex, can't be pregnant.

I have a crochet needle. Tonight is for playing with crochet or finishing back of top I am currently knitting.

I will inevitably try to do both.

been made redundent, moving back to cov in a few weeks

(apparently I never tell anyone the relevent bits)

I have no snow

It's raining

I'm putting most of the stuff I've written ffor the OU course here. This may get long.

It rereads as bad to me. However, I'd like a record and may as well put it here as well.

Guinea-pigs! :)

They don't like sitting still.

Just found the cucumber I chopped up for the guinea-pigs last night. It was in todays lunch.

OOps.

One of them has started chirping. It's very cute. Although I suspect if they keep doing it at 4am it'll stop being cute soon.

I'll probably learn to sleep through it.

Yesterday I woke up and was sure I could hear them under my bed, but they were both in their cage, and one was making the right noises, but from the wrong place. I also caught them early this morning sounding like they were eating paper, but on turning the light on I got two innocent looking guinea-pigs and nothing papery in their cage, and no noises. Light goes off, and paper eating noises come from guinea-pigs.

grey annd brown are not considered suitable names for guinea pigs.

grey is now Grecian, short for Grecian 2000, because his hair is a bit grey.

Brown is now hairdo, because his is apparently awesome.

I got guinea-pigs.

Two boys, called Brown Guinea Pig and Grey Guinea Pig.

:)

So for the last three months I've been pretty antisocial.

sorry.

Might continue for a few months more.

Is nothing against you, I just took on a stupid commute and for some reason it made my life go a little not really existing.

Ill fix it, maybe not until March, but then I'll either drop out of society entirely and go and live in the antartic (because thats the obvious answer to no social life) or fix it.

Last night I was forcebly en-pubbed.

Which was nice

And although I suck at trivial pursuit, so do the rest of my family.

Is not quite sunrise. This is a bit of a trick of the landscape, but I'm still beyond rochester and it's not yet sunrise.

Ah well.

Every now and then there are policemen on the train.

Then when I get off at Canterbury there're more police (9-10 ussually, the ticket office is full of them) 1-2 dogs and a metal detector.

It's a little unnerving.

Lounging, watching pans labyrinth. There is steak, black pudding bacon, aubergine and cheese in the kitchen. I need to tidy up room and make things sorted.

Christmas shopping is done with the exception of giving my little brother some money for ssome stuff for parents, waiting for something to arrive from amazon and my siblings want to know what I want. I might find them a list of dvds t pick from.

Life is good.

Getting a bit meh because of lack of social life, but that's my own doing and not insurmountable.

Stuff is good, someone cook my steak for me.
