Eurovision

Another classical comic highlight of the year! Absolutely hilarious, as was old Terry's commentary. Highlights for me were:

1. The Terry's chocolate orange
2. Lithuania and Harry Hill going mad!
3. Lordi of course, with the Mummy keyboardist my personal favourite - completely and utterly mad, so glad it won. the video is even funnier - featuring zombie cheerleaders with pom-poms!
4. It was amazing!
5. Germans singing a Country song??????!!!!! Bizarre, so Eurovision!

Anyway, back to work tomorrow, after an expensive weekend. My brother and sister were home for the comic event, and he persuaded me to buy a digital SLR (NIkion D50) which I am so looking forward to playing around with later on! well, we need good pictures for New Zealand don't we?......

Tick tock

I feel like my life is ticking away too quickly - where has the time gone? Already it has been almost 4 weeks since I started the job, and I'm really enjoying it. I've been out doing a condition assessment on a SSSI on hanger woodland (on a very steep slope), which was an adventure, seeing as though you felt the soil move every time you did. A single slip would have sent me sliding down an almost- vertical drop through nettles! But the bluebells and wild garlic were glorious.

Speaking of which, Iwent to Garston Woods a couple of weeks ago which was just solid blue and white from the above flowers, just magical.

Besides the job, the social life has taken a bit of a nose dive. Nothing can compare to the heady days of PGL! Though, my friend Caz is back from her cruise ship job, so hopefully a few meals in Prezzo before she goes back. The group of friends I usually go out with are having a few domestics, whilst one has managed to fall off his sister's horse and is now on crutches: all events postponed indefinitely! And of course there's eurovision this weekend to look forward to, nil points?

I think I have just about managed to stay in touch with uni, school and PGL mates, which is a major achievement. Long may it continue!
