First Proper Summer Day!

Yep, another good day. I love my room and my housemates. Yes, we have our disagreements and our problems, not a doubt. However, on the whole just a great exprerience. I feel like I'm exactly where I'm meant to be. Although it's hard sometimes, I feel like I'm learning a lot in the meantime. I am learning to appreciate life more and more everyday. England is a great country. Have I gone on enough? :)

Today, I got up and cleaned the bathroooms... mopped the floors, scrubbed the kitchen a bit. Met Laurence at Victoria Park and then Rose and Joe came down as well. I studied in the sun and it was lovely. Had to wee and the closest place was the men's footballl training change rooms. Hmm, that was an experience!

We had a lovely barceque outside this evening. It was like the first proper summer day! Skewers with tofu and veggies, burgers, bread, mmm... then a bit of Snatch (really good word game that you play with letters, similar to Scrabble). It was like we had an outside lounge room. Then a bonfire in the back of the yard with a second barbeque a bit later on in the night.

The grass in the backyard is coming along and it's been lovely to watch. Tomorrow the plan is to move the compost bin and create a little vegggie patch to plant the tomatoes seedlings I've grown. AND, some study (in the sun, pereferably.) No, this study isn't easy but I'm commited and I actually find it really satisfying (when I get stuff right that is!). So... the story continues...
