World Service

I've been having dreams recently.

In them I was writing Lord of the rings. My mum's a bit worried though, I've been Tolkien in my sleep.

In response to the floods of e-mail asking me why I haven't updated this for a while I can only apologise. College work has been dominating my life recently, I've got maths exams coming up in January (P3, P4 and M2) and the results from the November exams (P1, P2 and M1) on January 15th. Lots has happened this last half of term. I'm now actively working toward grade 6 on both piano and guitar, hopefully the grade 5 theory exam some time soon too, probably around Easter, if not then then the Summer. Work at Waitrose has been going well, although due to illness at times we've been a bit understaffed. On Tuesday I went in and was told I could go home, unknown to me it was my Christmas shopping day, which I thought only full time staff got. So, after my 5 minutes at work I was back off home!

Went to see Will in Netherhall's production of "little shop of horrors" which was very impressive, the set was great, professionally done and the whole play a great success. Mr Wells was there his ever smiling self raising money for Addenbrookes through a raffle to win a giant Tigger. Unfortunately I didn't win, although I could forsee some problems with parents and a 5 foot Tigger.

Other Fridays have been good, still going to Friday club which has been great fun this term. Thinking of which I went to the carol service on Sunday which was rather good, really worth going.

Had a nice suprise earlier this term, Delirious? are coming to the Junction in January so Simon has got me a ticket for Christmas (still not sure what to get him for Christmas... suggestions?), and their new album came out on Monday. I pre-ordered mine and the first 250 got signed, I'm number 145! Here are a couple of photos (shiny so rather hard to take photos of):

Great album too, and the concert comes just after all my exams! I'm off to watch the office now, hopefully will have time to update this later.
