and on friday.....i went home!

twas very very good. on saturday Katie came round in the morning, and we were joined by Emma at 2. we went to see Wallace and Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (third time for me)

later on i went to Marks and had a go on his purple lightsabre (something tells me i should rephrase that) before we headed off to the pub and got slightly jovial (but only slightly cos i only had a pint and a half). a good time was had by all. and i made him promice to talk to us online more, and to come to Stafford to visit. so far hes done neither.

on sunday i went out with my family on my mothers side for a meal, where mum and my two aunts tried to take the worst possible photos of each other and there were general discussions along the lines of "who is going to get great-uncle Tony's farting clock?"

monday was quite exciting. i got my hair cut (not yet found a barbers in Stafford...), went to McDonalds and told them when id be back to work, then had a major race against time involving a car chase. ish.

saturday and sunday there had been no trains running in Portsmouth due to engineering work. i walked round to the station with dad to go home but all the trains to southampton were running late, meaning that by the time i got to southampton central id only have a minute to find my train before it left for Stafford.

dad offered to drive me there instead. after driving faster than dads ever driven in mums car and jumping a few lights we got to the station with 2 minutes to spare.
ah, well. i got the train and managed to get home, so thats ok

tomorrow afternoon im disappearing for a whole other weekend cos im going to visit Andrea at Loughborough. should be good.
