An hour and 5 minutes ago signals the end of a rather eventful, but tremendous weekend. All mentioned in the previous post happened and more. There's so much to talk about, but I'll just focus on one thing for now, the fact that I felt very welcomed by Jono and Al as we were sipping Maison and Appletiser over a fabulous lunch, and playing all sorts of weird and wonderful games whilst at their flat. It was a pleasant afternoon with good friends and good food, PLUS I got introduced to a board game which I recommend you all go out and purchase, it is entitled 'Tigers and Goats' which so happens to be the National game of Nepal - The strategic excellence of chess with a hint of Himalayan wilderness.

http://www.personal.leeds.ac.uk/~jhs3dn/ I am really thankful I don't have an early start tomorrow (today/Monday), with the flu firmly in place, it would have been a very miserable day, but as things stand I will have ample time to work through any ordeals that may present itself. After a very relaxing and enjoyable mid-semester break I will have to shovel more studious coals into the boiler room that sits atop my shoulders (sometimes), I'd probably need a few drops of motivational accelerant to get going however.
I will hopefully have more time later in the week to keep you guys posted about my quest for reinsertion into the uni-life, althought it sometimes feels like a multi-life, due to the contrast of weekdays and weekdays. Bye for now.
