It looked a bit cloudy this morning but the weather has improved no end. This puts me in a very good mood as there is nothing worse than miserable weather when you have to walk into university to pick up some reading material.
I woke up this morning at about 10.00am, although didn’t actually ‘get up’ until about half-past. Showered, dressed, drank tea (all that jazz) before sitting about doing very little. I have a ‘To Do’ list as long as my arm (but there is always time for Facebook). I eventually left the house near midday.
The walk into university takes about twelve minutes but there are so many distractions along the way. Walking up Cotham Hill I have to pass four – four! – charity shops all selling cheap books that I must own. I bought three today (totalling £2.00). Many of you will question this logic in connection to my previous post re shopping, but the point is: books don’t count. I like books and could shop for books all day (well, not all day, but you get the idea).
Finally got to university, books in tow, and walked up to the Theology building (rather unromantically called 3-5 Woodland Road). Gathered together my reading for tomorrow’s Christology lecture and walked home, calling Alexandra on the way. She is a very busy bunny at the moment going from talk to talk about this and that (all career stuff, apparently). I can’t even find time to apply online for teacher training (more on this hilariously complicated process in another blog).
Once home I made another cup of tea and sat down in the lounge to watch 2point4 Children. I haven’t seen it for years and today’s was a particularly funny episode. Mooched about the house for a bit afterwards (Facebooked some more…sigh) before finally gathering up the drive to put some washing on and email my tutor about things too boring to note here. Sat down, felt guilty for forgetting to go to the bank to sort out my overdraft ‘issues’ and then made another tea. Paradise.
Hmm. I think I could do with another tea.
More soon.

Tea rules!
