Damn it.

Just as I was about to write 'First rainless day' as my blog title, the heavens have opened!

Stu took me out last night – (S) shall we go to that fancy restaurant to celebrate? – to (L) Pizza Hut, which was all good. I managed to pass first go, which is all a bit of a fluuuuk really. I did extremely well on the English, Dutch and optional courses I took, but (obviously) slacked on the Russian ones. But after all, I managed to get a distinction (2:1) thanks to the high marks for of all the other courses, for which I worked my ass off! So I’m pleased and can now start to relax and enjoy the summer.

Party weekend is getting nearer. The weather is looking increasingly hopeful – touch wood – so I think everybody can leave their wellies at home. Haven’t been down the garden since I moved last week but from the air (looking from the back of the house, we do live quite a way up) everything looks nice and green. The weeds are all growing again thanks to the monsoons we’ve been having on a daily basis, one of the bushes seems to have grown a beautiful white flower (or at least, that’s what it looks like from a 50 metre distance) and the fence which had fallen over because of the next door neighbour’s tree is still up (just about).

Really looking forward to Sarah staying over for 5 weeks! It’ll be cool having a driving partner again in the car – let’s just hope that she’s not an arm squeezer like Carrie used to be when a pheasant jumps in front of the car!!

Still haven’t put any pictures up as I realised last night that the pictures I took on my phone aren’t of the best quality when blown up. Have now been able to locate my proper camera and will do some snap shots later.
