A Very Sisterly Affair.

This is the Lesser Spotted Anna.
More frequently found in its natural environment of the living room with a good book and a Coffee.

It has never been seen wearing a white hat before however.

Shes now a fully fledged member of the Illustrious group of white hat wearers. I'm its leading member.

More about that later.

We'll start with yesterday.

 Eventually I'll stop laughing at this photo.
I'm not sure sensible photos of Conor exist.

This is a week of seeing people I havent seen in ages.
Yesterday, included a trip to Wakey and seeing my friends from college. I love these guys most of whom see each other on a weekly basis at uni at Huddersfield for those of us flung farther afield we only catch up during the holiday. I love seeing them we always have a laugh and as is tradition Conor and I will always have some kind of fight.
It would be wrong if we didn't. Much like it wouldn't be right if, (despite my protestations and indignant squeals), my hat wasn't forcibly removed from my head and modelled by someone else.

 Just a few shots from yesterday.

As I mentioned before Anna came over today.
I was quite excited by her hat. Which said she thought it was grey when it was ordered xD

She however more excited about this:
Her favourite Christmas Present.
However her excitement was loud and squealy when she got on to the subject of these.


If anyone feels like buying me these, or some similar, I love you.

Guess the brand (not you Anna) and I'll buy you a Mars bar.


We had a large amount of chat, fun and Anna pointed out that she probably was Isla Fisher's character in Confessions of A Shopaholic. I'm inclined to believe her. She keeps devising plans to get her hands on a credit card.

It was a very entertaining afternoon, which was long overdue.
So long in fact she'd forgotten where to find the teaspoons.
Kind of embarrassing for someone I once thought actually lived in my house she was here so frequently.

Anna's still awesome :D

Anyway I am off now.
Much love

The awkward moment where you haven't blogged in... you've forgotten how long.


So judging by the fact that my last blog was to do with the return of the Lucy, it seems sensible to start there.

So grab your favourite beverage, a snack or two, and get comfy aboard the TARDIS of the blog.

First stop 2 weeks ago. Friday the 2nd of December.
As i explained a few weeks back, I'm quite ill at the moment, and had beren struggling to get out of bed most days that week. Funnily enough didn't much trouble that day. After impaitiently sitting through a lecture and a seminar and possibly sending all my friends mad with my excitabilty Lucy arrived. The flying Hug attack totally did not cause her to brace against a wall. Nup. That did not happen.

Well, thats my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Anyway after a few hours of going about our various tasks we all climbed on a bus and went home and that is where I parted ways with lucy to go and cook
Yeah.
I cooked.
For people other than my housemates. 
I roasted Beef, made Yorkshires, roasted potates, did veg and made gravy from stock ALL BY MYSELF. :D
In the madness however I caused myself a MASSIVE bruise. I still have it. Admittedly it now doesn't hurt everytime I fall over something, (I am unbelievably clumsy - my mother is terrified of the day I first get behind the wheel of a car).

And despite the fact I was nice enough to cook for him, despite the fact I allowed him to check the internet for the Euro draw, Dan still fraped me. Ok, so it was a "nice" frape, I suspect that was only cos I was feeding him. Hannah would never be so mean. We had an awesome time, and Amy shall now forever be weighing things up.

Then came Saturday:





We went for Dinner at the Borough. Very nommy, excellent company, very worrying conversation, basically pod 6 without the pretense that we're doing any work.

Then we went back to mine, Lucy and I.



 For an afternoon of Christmas trees cookies, Girl talk, catching up, being very daft and planning world domination - our favourite past time.

This last one was the last time I saw Lucy, we were headed home after a hard nights Soulrigg cheerleading. Not that they need it these days.
We, their true fans, have suffered, we can no longer get an actual seat. Instead we must perch whereever we can get butt space. Despite this they were as good as ever and Raph's grin was superglued to his face.

Next day was Sunday, Student Lunch Day at Church in which a very beautiful home was visited, ridiculously nommy food was munched, a tramp in country was undertaken before 3 fantastic kids we're enthralled by my phone. All in all a brilliant day :)


Then there was a long and stressful week which included a carol service, which was really good, and thats about what I can remember before we came to friday.

Which was when Hannah cooked us dinner.  Much nom. Much nom indeed. Lots of giddyness, Ben and Jerry's and mocking of Beth. I get mocked far too much.
Also Hannah's living room looked like the inside of an igloo.

Continuing the Christmassy theme
Saturday.
Christmas Dinner Day!

It was a really good evening.
Good Food, Good Friends, and Good Films.

Lauren had never ever seen Elf so we sat eating Candy Cane and watched it. :)

I bought a hat. White hat number 6.


Sadly Carolyn went home :/ She's awesome and we'll miss her at real food and CU.
:/

Anyway! Having finally got through the end of term, I believe this to be the end.
Now I'm gonna put my feet up.

P.S expect more blog. I have essays to write....

Friday, December 2, 2011

In which Beth is so bereft of any actual work she blogs so that she may have something to procrastinate.

I'll be honest I haven't done anything blog worthy of late.

But I 'll be fair to myself, I haven't been especially well.

This weekend will be awesome though.

LUCY RETURNS!

She will however be really disappointed to learn that we cannot get into our beloved Pod 6 because some one decided today was an excellent day to paint Pods 5-8, whoever you are, you are a Chump.

Tonight I'm making a roast dinner. The Yorkshire pudding mix is in the fridge, I'm thinking of buying parsnips to roast as well. Just because I'm that awesome.

In not so awesome news; I ran out of dry shampoo this morning. I almost cried. The stuff is incredible. it gives me the confidence of an assured 2 days between necessary hair washing.

So now, with now work to do, and only anticipation  to focus on I am slowly going mad in the Zoo, I keep catching myself singing along with my iPod, So with no one to tame the crazy I would at this point opt to nap. However I face the catch 22 of being tired but too excited to sleep. Also napping would undoubtedly end in Frape. Its the law of the learning zone, if you're idiot enough to leave your Facebook unguarded, chances are you'll get fraped.

However the full learning zone contingent seems sadly lacking.

Right, I'm off to plot!
