Uni stuff
The good news is that I passed my other module for last semester. To sum up, 2 passes (P/F), a 64, and 87/77 (which accounts for 66% of Latin). Just two full modules this term, The Smugglers' City, which is Early Modern Bristol, social and economic history, and Making History Public. I have a 5000 word project to do for the former by just after ( Read more... ) -

After a whirlwind reunion in Bristol on Saturday - thanks to mjlaw for putting us up and taking us to the airport!; we flew into Copenhagen on Sunday night, got ourselves sorted with our hotel, and pretty much went straight back out to the pub. Really nice to be welcomed back, but after two nights in a row of drinking, yesterday morning wasn't pretty ( Read more... ) -
Pushing books
Anyone who reads fantasy, and hasn't read Robin McKinley already, be ashamed of yourself, and immediately go out and rectify this. With a copy of this, preferably. It's a gorgeous new edition, and despite the fact I already own a copy I would be seriously tempted to replace it, if I had any money. When I get a job... *sigh*

We did have fireworks last night, although it was raining quite a bit which quite literally put a dampener on proceedings. I've just noticed that it was Diwali yesterday too, so a belated happy fireworks day / Diwali to everyone.
