ONCE-UPON-A-TIME RACH AND CLAIRE CAME TO VISIT =P

This week has been pretty hectic, I’ve not had much work to do as of yet in these modules, and no practices in the afternoons, so I’ve been spending allot of time doing ether thing.

Monday night, got back from karate and met Lindsay, went back to mine to watch pride and prejudice and eat cake, we were both so tired though so we cut the night short at about 10:30 and went to bed. Tuesday night I, Lindsey, Amy, Struggles, Matt and a few others had a kitchen / film party at Lindsey’s. Ending up watching Moulin Rouge, then part of the Lion King, then Euro Trip! (Which I’m not a fan of). Me and Amy had a go at table wrestling round tables at some point and I got confused when I thought it had too many legs ... fan was also had spinning round the room on a desk chair. Most people left at 1ish, and me and Matt left at 2ish, or rather I left and dragged Matt with me.

Wednesday was a nice sunny day, a good day for a climb, so that what we did. I and Matt sweet-talked Rachel into driving us there and she really enjoyed the climbing too! Went to Trowbarrow where we did a few routed before it got dark including ‘Jomo’. Wednesday night, me and Amy were scared about going to Karate as sensei Frank Brennan was teaching ... a 7th Dan black belt. Wasn’t too bad in the end.

Thurday went to another meeting about going abroad and I spent most of that night looking at Colorado, Calgary, Ontario and Iceland universities ... still undecided.

Rach and Claire came on Friday for the weekend. We put up the bed and did the Lancaster campus tour, bought allot of cake, and then went back to make potato wedges, which took hours ... it was really late by the time we got to watching films and eating excessively! Stayed up late into the night talking as usual. Got up the next morning or rather Rach and Claire climbed into my bed with me ... made breakfast and got the bus to the station. The plan was to go to Ambleside for a walk, but the train was rather expensive and to we decided to explore Lancaster instead! Ended up at the tourist info! Then went for an adventure in historical Lancaster, where we made a friend on the bridge! Old man Boris ... Old man Boris told us how he built part of Lancaster uni when he was 16 and kept waring us about the ‘Bad lads in Lancaster!’ at some point during this convo I dropped my camera batteries over the bridge ... don’t know how that happened exactly! We chatted for about 10mins then he suddenly said, ‘I once went to B&Q and a man in an orange boiler suite asked me if I needed decking ... I only wanted some screw drivers!!!’ then he walked off. Anyway, we had fun navigating around Lancaster and going in River Island in waking boots!

Made a mess (pancakes) when we got back, then got ready to go out and watched Claries ‘LIPA’ DVD’s and watched the sing along version of Hairspray (and sang along). Had problems with the shower which was flooded and transformed into a wet room. Also I had issues getting dressed, as I’ve put weight on since I’ve been at uni and half my clothes don’t fit!! I have now decided to do something about it as I am also a stone heavier than this time last year!! Went round to Matt’s for a few mins before we went out because Rachel wanted to take pictures of his kitchen. Ended up in Toast and Elements where I scared off a stalker by yabbering on about geology and climbing ... hehe ... got in about 3ish, had a toast feast and went strait to sleep. When to see the lights in Lancaster the next evening ... was luminous.
