it's been too long...

over a month since i updated this thing - and i couldn't even log in at first, had forgotten my username AND password! luckily i'm back to update you all on the various happenings in my life. well, alicia came to visit me for a week which was fab - we had a great time, lots of laughs as well as some very serious chats (we refer to them as doom and gloom chats as that seems to be how they ended up!). leece got a good tan, and i managed to wangle enough time off work to enjoy myself - especially in the last weekend. i don't think i've laughed that much in ages. it was just so nice to have a friend here to go out with, really talk with etc etc. i've got some hilarious videos on my camera but i'm not clever enough to post them on here! besides they're not really funny to anyone else - "had to be there" type stuff! found a great club that was still buzzing at 7am when we were too worn out to dance any longer, so god knows what time it goes on til! it's all outside too, so nice and cool, which is bliss considering how baking it is here at the moment!
