Today Gaisford and I finally sneaked a flat. Not just any flat, a palatial abode which we hope will be the base for a sensational 9 months, the location is prime, Morrison's one way, town the other way and whiteknights campus and gym(hahahahah) straight ahead while staying beautifully out of the student bubble and at a great price, in short, I have high hopes. It’s being a tough ordeal and unusually I came close to cracking mentally on Saturday, and seriously contemplated a return to halls but alas that very evening a solution was found.
Since my last blog I have spent quite a lot of time in London, particularly enjoying the British museum, which is probably the best free thing you can do in London, and requires multiple visits to really get a meaningful experience out of it.
Anyways I haven’t blogged here or anywhere else for that matter for a while. I also saw Bacary Sagna(arsenal footballer) yesterday which was a particularly amusing experience because Frank and I had spent the 10 minutes preceding us seeing him, deriding his all white range rover as a Colombian drug dealers car especially because the alloys were also white and he had blacked out the windows. It was a good note to end a great day of touring London, coca cola(beer for everyone else), seeing Kieran Richards, who was gracious enough to come meet Frank and I, once his girlfriend had headed off to work and a great dinner courtesy of Nina(Franks sister). I did however lose my debit card in an ATM machine which was very upsetting although I wouldn’t have been as upset if the machine had not shut down and booted up windows XP, I felt like someone was playing a sick joke on me. I thought only cheap netbooks still ran XP.

Ramadan also ended at the end of the week, and it’s great to have my freedom back although I still find myself forgetting I can drink a nice glass of water during the days now. However I did stay unbeaten at tennis throughout the period, sure my opponent was not of the greatest standard but that should not diminish my herculean effort in the heat.
I also had the misfortune of having to use the services of the post office recently, which was harrowing to say the least and drained me of happiness the second I walked it. The customer service is awful and I’m not surprised they are bleeding so much money. Also any one under the age of 40 that uses the post office to pay for utility bills such as gas in this age of direct debits and online banking should be put in prison.
Until next time...
P.s. On a completely different note Cara Jane Adams is currently reeling from a particularly vicious wasp attack on her foot.
