Bonjour, ca va?
I know it's been a while, I do have excuses but we both know that basically it boils down to my blatant laziness.
Well I've now finished earning an honest crust. I finished work on Wednesday and I can honestly say I'm glad. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed working there and was very lucky to have a temp job which lasted the whole summer, but now I just want to get started back at uni.
I've also had my last holiday of the year too. I went to Paris. It was utterly amazing and I loved every second, though it did kind of turn into two holidays for the price of one, what started out as a one night stay turned into three nights, thanks to Easyjet, the French and Eurodisney. Yup, I got caught in one of the famous French downtools and sod the consquences strikes. Our flight home was cancelled and after much running up and down airports, sweating, exascberated pleadings and general thoughts of 'ah, fuck it' we were re-housed in euro disney for 2 days and nights. I can honestly say it's on of the funniest holidays I've ever had.
Now for anyone who knows me I am the least Disney person you know, shoes are my disney, as are handbags, clothes and other paraphanalia, but I will admit with my hand on my heart that it really is a fatantastic place if you like that sort of thing. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed myself but after an hour shopping in the Disney store, I was starting to go slightly insane and had to make my escape and sit outside, and you certainly don't expect to see folk going past your bedroom window in a morning on a horse and have Bonanza, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, and Calamity Jane tickling your ear drums all day every day. It all just added to the spirit of the holiday though.
Paris was amazing. It is romantic and I was there with one of my best friends who I love dearly, but it would also be fabulous to share it with that someone special who captures your heart just like the city does. I am going to try and post the link to the photo's on my facebook page on here for anyone who wants a look. It is, without a doubt a city you need to visit.

The highlight though, was the Eiffel tower sparkling at night. It just made the holiday for me and was so beautiful. It captivates every fibre of you and I defy anyone not to be wowed by it.
I love travelling.
Till next time....x

A celebration....
Firstly, I want to wish my Mum a Happy Mothers Day! I know I forgot to send a card (that makes me such a crap daughter), but I always say you can't put that much love in a card!! You know I love you so much and I appreciate everything you do for me.
I got another assignment out of the way this weekend (I don't normally do uni work over the weekend), it's the one I was telling you about the other day, choosing our own topic, question etc etc. Well it's all done, all 1874 words of it, so I think that's worth a celebration in itself.
While I was in uni yesterday holed up in my little carrel there were applicant visits and tours going on around and about campus, I did feel a bit like a goldfish at one point. There were groups of potential students and their parents wandering round, getting a feel for the place. I know how nervous I was when I first started and I'm not quite a spring chicken, but it must be really nerve-wracking for 18 and 19 year olds. Though I have to say it doesn't bode well for students when you can't tell the difference between the male and female loo's. I walked in to find some poor un-suspecting lad drying his hands in the ladies loo, and looking a bit confused and embrassed when I walked in. I can't deny it, I did laugh...not in his face that would be just rude, but after he walked out. It made me chuckle when I was driving home too, sad I know.
Well, not to harp on with my obsession for sunshine and blue skys but it's another lovely sunny day, just right for Mothers Day. So I think I will sign off and make the most of it.
Have fun my faithful band of 8 readers!
