Busy busy busy

Have been very busy recently. Last Saturday Matt, Matt's sister Hil and I went up to the Isle of Skye, where his mum and her partner have just moved. As I can't drive, I slept for most of the 8.5 hours it took to get there. Still, pretty tiring. After experiencing the rain, mist and cold of Skye, we came back on Wednesday. More sleeping for me.

On Thursday Matt and I did the second part of scoping out areas we might like to live: Besses o'th Barn (in Whitefield - you'd want to live somwehere with a name like that too, wouldn't you?) and Bury. Matt was still tired from driving rather than sleeping so kept saying "are we finished now?" Eventually we had. So we drove to Lytham to see Little Matt and dropped in on Dave and Hannah too.

On Friday I had a meeting with Cris to sort out the Sanctus session we're leading on Wednesday, then got on a coach down to London (sleeping most of the way...). Soundcheck, SPEAK's 'gathering of the network' is in about 4 weeks and I'm organising the stewarding. So this was my opportunity to see the venue. I stayed with Duncan, who I was at uni with in my first year, and we had load of fun. We stayed up til 2.30am on Saturday playing board games. I also saw someone from Mcfly but failed to recognice him - he was talking to Duncan's flatmate Sam, who is a features writer for Sugar. Then back on a bus to sleep over large parts of the journey home again. After a small nap when I got home I did a bit of work (only because I had to do it for today...) and then back to bed...

You would think after all that sleeping I would be wide awake but actually I'm pretty knackered. Not good when lectures start again today. The next month will be busy, with a hen weekend, Soundcheck and a wedding to fit in, but after that I'll have some time to get some studying done...

Off to uni!
