Good things take time, but great things happen all at once.

I had never been to Pompey before, so it really was an adventure when I went to visit lil' brudder Nick. He can make it on his own!!!
We had a wonderful exploring day; discovering cheaper-than-poundland shops, the best EVER sweetie shop, and an old timey record shop. Aaaah, twas wonderful. And because we're responsible adventurers, we left a trail of two doughnuts so that we could find our way home.
I met Nicks lovely halls of residence (wasn't much of a coversationalist, though), and two of his flatmates. He has a beautiful view of the sea from his window.
It was sad when home time came around, but the day was grrrreat and I had a happy train ride home.

Yesterday was the progressive supper. (That's a supper where poor and hungersome Freshers move from house to house for each course. Sometimes called a moving meal. Or begging.) I'm going to be honest, we really weren't very well prepared. Still, we pulled it together and ended up having good food and, better still, great company! Our freshers were lovely, and we Safari girls were also joined by the girls of Mayfield rd and Tom. So it was a full house - the more the merrier! The conversation couldn't have been more varied (dreams, languages, dreaming in foreign languages, abolishing time keeping in favour of living longer, the drama of neighbours...) but it was fab! Yay!

I watched The Beat That My Heart Skipped in bed. It's a French movie. Pianist/dodgy real estate guy has to deal with the demons of his past - concert pianist mother died, real estate father is struggling with debt and bad health, dodgy collegues & deals, and his mothers manager who offers him a piano audition even though he hasnt played for 10yrs. It sounds weird. But it's really good, actually! If you can manage the subtitles, it's really very good. And Romain Duris is fantastic in the lead as a slightly disturbed, but intensely passionate pianist. Give it a go. Try it yourself!!

Wow. That's what happens when you don't blog for a few days. I'll try not to let it happen again. It's just that lots of good stuff happened!! What can you do?!
