Today has been a bit up-and-down. I got up early this morning so I could go out and see the Olympic Torch leaving Aberystwyth (I was at work yesterday so I didn't get to see it arrive). But when we got there it seems we had just missed it go past. So we tried to catch up with it and failed. So basically I missed the ony chance I'll get to see ( Read more... )

Woo, we've got the internet in our new house now! I'll be able to check my e-mails!

Also, we just bought a fridge-freezer :-S The one in the house here just isn't big enough for the amount of food we usually have in, so we've got another one.

But, I've just read an e-mail from Arriva Trains Wales saying they're going on strike tomorrow and Monday. So probably won't be ( Read more... )

I have just sat up for the last three hours absolutely enthralled by this book Nicky's lent me. It's called "Nature's Great Events" and it accompanies a TV programme which I'd now like to watch. The reason I find it so interesting is because one section, called "The Great Melt" is all about Svalbard! Not only that, it's about filming and ( Read more... )

Happy Christmas everybody! I'm so knackered now I really need to go to bed... I hope you all had a good day.

Happy Fake Christmas day! Drew and I are having our Christmas day today because he's supposed to be going home tomorrow. So far, it's been really awesome. We've had a lie in, breakfast in bed, Christmas lights and heating on all day, opened presents, eaten roast dinner and chocolates, drunk port and fake Bailey's, played The Lord of the Rings, ( Read more... )

I haven't posted on here for ages, so I feel like I should, but I'm not really sure what to say that isn't just moaning... Humm ( Read more... )
