Stranded in England!
I was over with Tom last weekend, and was due to fly back on Sunday night. However the roads were pretty bad and icy, so we didn't want to risk it. As a result, I'm staying in England for the week. I had already booked flights back for next weekend. :) -
Fun weekend
Had a fun weekend.
Tom was over. Thursday was the Camara christmas party. At first I didn't know anyone, then some of the old skool 2007 folks turned up. Of course it re-awakens my urge to feck off to Africa. Once again, I think that I should do more for Africa and stuff for Camara. However I left pretty early.

In which I fail another driving test & Funeral
So two weeks ago I had my car driving test, and failed. Last Tuesday I had my motorbike test, and failed aswell. :( I got a similar result to the car test. 1 grade 3 error and 10 grade 2's. Once again the grade 3 was from a bad right turn. I got lots of grade 2's from the 'failure to progress'. Most likely me being a bit too cautious at junctions ( Read more... ) -
