I have a new housemate now, which means I am now living with three beautiful women, which is always nice. More importantly though they are really nice and easy to get on with.
Dan has yet to return my DVDs, but fortunately if he doesn’t then I can get the money from his depost. At the moment I’m missing seven DVD’s and one box set, and charging £20 per DVD and £50 for the box set means I’ll be getting £190 if he doesn’t bring them back.
Which of course leaves me almost hoping that he doesn’t.
Then again it would be a fair amount of hastle to buy them all again, not to mention a complete waste of my time…

Well what can you do about these things?
Anyway, the atmosphere in the house is really good right now and I’m meeting loads of nice people through breakdancing and capoeira, and they’re keeping me busy and active.
So life’s look pretty good for me at the moment ! 🙂

Well that was a very enjoyable and very knackering five days, here’s what I’ve been upto:
(Yes I’m afraid it is going to be another list of day-by-day stuff but hopefully things should be back to normal (normal?) soon)

• Friday: Got the train upto Loughborough and arrived in the early afternoon, after a bit of curfuffle we set off in the hire car to Chester. Unfortuanately traffic caused us to arrive pretty late so the light had gone for photo’s, but we still walked all the way round the wall and managed to find somewhere to eat. Then we went to stay at Den’s parents house.
• Saturday: Got up fairly early to set off to Liverpool, this was pretty good, and I can now happily say that I’ve walked down Penny Lane (woo). Alana and ‘Cole went around the beatles museum experience thing and Den and I went to photograph ‘stuff’. This was good. Then we went a little way up the coast to Formby to have a look at the red squirrels. Didn’t take any pictures myself as they don’t look much different with black and white film. From there we carried on up to Southport where we had fish and chips (well I had pie and chips but its all still very British). We returned to Den’s parents house.
• Sunday: We went back to Loughborough via the Peak district, which was good, went and saw a castle and went do a cave (with Blue John in it). Also we went to Bakewell and had a tart, which gave a great deal of satisfaction. Although they do call them puddings there. Bit more tourist type stuff and then back to Loughborough.
• Monday: On this day we went to London, we visited Hyde park, Tower bridge, Harrods, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and tried to get into a show but they were booked up. Not all in that order by the way.
• Tuesday: Den and ‘Cole had stayed the night at mine and Alana had gone to stay with her friend Rachel (Racheal, Rachal?) and so we met up again at Camden Market, I have yet to buy anything from there. I think I deffinately need to be in the right mood, but sometime soon! Anyway, then we went to St Pauls, which unfortunately is covered in scafolding at the moment as its being cleaned. Then we split with Rachel and Alana going off for some more tourist type stuff and I showed Den and ‘Cole Canary Warf, which was good.
  I was going to be meeting up with Alana nad Rachel when Den and ‘Cole went home but I was completely knackered, and so came home.

So why all the tourist type stuff you may ask?
Well Alana is visiting from Australia, and so maximum effort was extended to explore some of the best bits… Was damn good fun, but geez, it certainly takes it out of ya!
Personally I don’t know how she’s still going but hey 🙂

Things are no different, although I am a bit tired after about five days of celebration and maddness, culminating today in tiding the house…. yeah ok maybe not your average birthday celebration but we’ve got an inspection by the landlord tomorrow so it had to be done.
It was definately great to see everyone again, I think this has been the biggest gathering of my friends for any of my birthdays (since people started gathering for that kind of thing) the DVD player that my parents ordered me arrived via the Sam/Jim courier service which made up for comet delivering to the wrong address. And that works fine although I did have a bit of a moment when I had to look at the manual… I’d foolishly set the video output mode to one that the TV here can’t handle, thus giving a blank screen, thankfully there was a simple way of reseting it.
Well I think I’m going to settle down and watch a really cheesy film on the TV now, just what the doctor ordered to recover and relax 😉
