... my plans for today go like this.
Make a grilled cheese and ham sandwich.
Pull out my knitting.
Catch up on all the episodes of Waterloo Road that I've been saving up on the Sky+ box (where 'saving up' means 'I haven't got round to watching them').
I've got a bit of a cold at the moment - caught from Chris. He was pretty ill on Tuesday/Wednesday (when I was away), I came home on Thursday and promptly had a sore throat on Friday ... nothing major though, just a little bit of a sore throat and a desire to sit around wrapped up in blankets not doing very much. Still feeling a little bit like I want to take it slow and sit around.
This is a good way to spend a Saturday.
Later this evening we'll be going to a church harvest dinner thing ... which should be really informal and quite funny (people are supposedly performing 'family entertainment') and I'm looking forward to it.
Right ... time to go off and make that sandwich.

Hey hey :)
Hey hey world :)
A bit of an update!
1) I am still blogging over on http://www.eudoxiafriday.wordpress.com - which is why I'm blogging less frequently over here. I haven't quite got the hang of juggling the two of these yet, although I want to get there ... it's coming along slowly.
2) I have ordered a new laptop! Unfortunately I'm away at work today and they tried to deliver it ... lovely mother in law is going to phone tomorrow to get it redelivered. It's a Samsung N150 in yellow - doesn't it look gorgeous? I went in to PC World and had a look at laptops - was originally looking at ones more around the £200-£220 mark, but the salesgirl was very convincing - and the Samsungs claim to have 9 hour battery life (and according to salespeople really actually do have 9 hour battery life - most of the others have 3-4 hours). I've ended up spending £274, and I've got £100 back from a rent deposit from Uni and Chris is buying Dark Elves off me for £70, so in some sense it's cost me about £104. Which I can cope with.
I'll be really pleased once I've got this laptop - it'll mean I can work on the train (writing up stuff) and out and about in [town of working]. I can flit about between libraries or coffee shops or whatever if I feel the need to. And I'll be able to blog from more places - or just write blog posts on the train and then upload them when I next get to somewhere with wifi. I'm really looking forward to using it. I've got my laptop with me now, but as it's a big and heavy one it was a real pain to get it here and I can't take it around out and about for the day.
3) I'm in to the part time master's! Haven't technically got an offer through but the course coordinator-y people are officially recommending that I be offered a place, which is about the same thing. Hurrah! So that will be starting at the beginning of October.
4) I am getting involved with running small groups at church for the 14-18s :) need to get (yet another) CRB check done for that ... I can't start this week because I'm away, but will start by visiting next week. Exciting times! I'm really looking forward to it.
I've been away from home a lot over the last couple of weeks ... :(. Last week was work spread over 3 days, then a friend's birthday, then a sightseeing trip; this week has been interview tuesday afternoon, work wed/thurs, and then off to a conferency thingy friday and saturday ... so I won't be home until probably 10 or 11pm on Saturday (having left at about 10:30am on Tuesday). This is sad ... I'm looking forward to things settling down a bit. Being at home 5 nights a week (as is the plan) is really, really nice.
Okay, that's the life update for now ... ciao :) and don't burn books, that's bad.
(P.S.: my nails are currently bright orange. That is all.)
