Water update...

We have water back!  Granted it is a mucky brown colour, but that should be sorted by morning =]

In response to Dad...

I know, who would have thought!  Cumbria with no water!!!  It's a burst water main on Victoria place so the water is there, they just can't get it to us yet.  Went on a small trip to Morrisons to buy bottled water so I could have tea, and even they had sold out, just flavored stuff left!  I did manage to find a vending machine with bottled water so managed to purchase enough water to make 1 cuppa at least.  Order is restored momentarily.

Water!

I got woken up this morning by estates running round halls shouting.  Apparently the whole of Cumbria has no water!  I want a cup of tea and a shower, but apparently this is too much to ask for at least the next two hours!

Poshest train ever!

I am on a National Express East Coast train with free wi-fi and at seat dining (not that i'll be using that)!  It's so fun, except the guy opposite me keeps looking at me as if I don't belong here, which is a bit harsh, but hey, I don't care.  I'm in first class!

Bye folks

Emma, Rob, Evan and Calum have left now, had a lovely weekend with them, it's been great to show them where I live, and they even got a sneaky peek at the new house!  Thanks for visiting, safe journey home. =]

Excitement...

I got a call from Em just over an hour go saying that her, Rob and the boys are on their way up to see me - I am so excited that they will get to see Carlisle.  I've been looking forward to this weekend for ages.  Safe trip guys, see you soon. =]

Library

Why do they seem to have a copy of every journal, book, magazine etc etc from the last hundred years, but not a copy of French Vogue from some point in 1939???  How rude!

Where's my snow?

Apparently my old school in lincolnshire is closed today because of the snow, but mine up here has all gone.  How disappointing.  Snowball fights are being arranged all over the place, I wanna go =[  Oh well, build some good snow men and women folks =]

Snow =]

So, these are a coouple of pictures of the snow in Carlisle - we got up to about 3 or 4 inches in places, it is SO pretty.  The first picture is looking out of our kitchen window and the second is Hayley, Greg and Lea when we were walking into town to go to Tullie House for a briefing and look around this afternoon.  I love the snow, it makes everything so much more peaceful =D 

Uni shut at 2, which didn't really make any difference to me because I wasn't in anyways, but still, exciting times!

SNOW!!!

We totally have a couple of inches of snow!  How exciting is that, off to play now but will post pictures later! =D

Great weekend =]

I had a lovely weekend with Mum and Dad, and it was great that the kids came on Saturday evening.  Nice to have a bit of time to chillax, thank you xxx

Home again home again =]

After the swift decision to come home I bought tickets last Saturday night, and came home today. It's nice to have a weekend to chillax at home, most enjoyable =D

Todays crit...

went well I think, Sam seemed really impressed with the quality of my prints and the book which I have made (which was more difficult to bind than anticipated).  It was interesting because as the brief was based around creating a narrative out of still images, everyone seemed to have gone for very personal themes, a lot of them to do with childhood.  Here's hoping for some better results than last time.

Change of Plan

Turns out... I found cheapish train tickets home for the weekend, so I'm off home for a couple of days to relax, Nat's gonna come visit another time

Natty!

Called up one of my best mates from school tonight for a chat, it ended up that she's coming to stay for a night next weekend - excited as!!!  Cannot wait =]

Sorry Suzie

I have just been reminded by my older sister of my new years resolutions, to find a house and keep my blog up to date.  Yes it is only the 23rd of January but i'd say 50% of new years resolutions kept isn't bad going.

In other words, my blog is not up to date, but we have a house for next year!!!

It is the most beautiful house ever (well, that I can afford and that is in Carlisle anyways) and i love it to pieces, far better than any student house i've ever seen, not that i'm biased or anything.  It has oak floors throughout the downstairs, and i have the biggest room =D.  I will go back when Mum and Dad are up next to show them round so hopefully will get some photos.

So, i'll try with the other resolution now, but I have a fairly large amount of work to do in the meantime.

Hope everyone else's resolutions are being kept and that you're all having a good 2009 so far!

Visitors!

Claire, Neil, William and Thomas stayed last night, great fun.  It was lovely to spend so much time with them, hope they come and visit again soon =D

2009

Happy New Year!!!  And Happy Birthday Dad!!!

So...I can't believe another year has gone by!  Had a good night of celebrating, and a great start to the New Year with the family.

My resolutions...too update my blog more frequently and find a house.

I hope this year is full of excitement, new experience and adventure for everyone!  All the best for the coming year =D
