yes. definitely the worst day of my life ( Read more... )

predictably, Saturday & Sunday never came about in writing. they were really, really good though. Dad came by (delayed) train and i took him to his B&B, this cute Spanish tapas place. i can't describe what it was like to see him. eight months since i'd seen anyone from home, eight months. and there he was, talking, taking photos, drinking pints, ( Read more... )

Monday
i am loving it.
woke up at 8, went to pick up open exam, faaack. one of the questions looks alright, i can blag one of the other seven.
despite it being warm and muggy (blue, blue skies!) Chris and i went on the "in memory of Emily's broken dish" shop. picked up too much heavy food, and lugged it all in the icky heat. good thing i bought ( Read more... )

it's another gorgeous sunny ( Read more... )

so... Mom and Dad have decided they won't be visiting me this year.
Mom hurt her back a few weeks ago and wants to take it easy, and England is just too expensive for them right now. they could go to Mexico in a 4-star hotel for a week (all expenses paid, including flight) for the price of only tickets to England. they say we can arrange days for ( Read more... )
