I’m still here.
Honest.
Just not doing anything particularly blog-worthy.
Since we last spoke, I’ve finished my exams. Woohoo. I’m fairly certain I’ve failed Arabic (oops), but we’ll wait and see.
Been home for a few days – spent most of the time outside (sooo hot).
I miss having a garden here in Durham – there’s no easy place to sit outside and work/read/play/do nothing.
Today, I have been called, in order, “a legend”, “awesome”, “absolutely smashing”, “incredible”, and “fab”. So I’m happy. Why? This little number.
Friday is more nothing.
Saturday is Castle Day – like a Village Fete in Castle, but not. (I’ve got some photos from last year).
Can’t drink too much, though, because Sunday we’re off to Granada Studios for some filming. Should be fun. Alas, I won’t be able to update you on how we get on until the programme is actually aired (sometime in the autumn).
And then there’s more nothing until the end of term.
I’m still trying to work out whether I want to work over the summer – Waterstone’s will have me back if I ask them, but I really, really need a proper break. If I start back at Waterstone’s, I’ll end up working five or six days a week until I leave for Alexandria, but I really need to revise Arabic (even if I don’t have resits to take) and just generally unwind. For six weeks. I dunno – I’ve got three weeks to let them know, really, so I’ll think about it.
