Sheffield

So last week I was up in Sheffield to see a most wonderful old friend from Hitchin, Catie. I was there for the breifest of visits, but I had a fantastic time. Apart from being entertained with a BBQ, a trip to Chatsworth House and wine night, I was also introduced to the wonders of Terry Pratchett in his book Men at Arms.

I was dubious at first, when reading it, but after adjusting to his humorous and jumpy style, I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that whilst I was in...

Birmingham

...I purchased three more of the Discworld novels.

I was in Birmingam from Saturday to the following Friday. For the most part, I was staying with Tamsin. It was so nice to have someone to hug'n'kiss, and I really really liked being in her company.

On Tuesday, we went to Alton Towers. Tamsin was absolutely adamant she wouldn't be going on Oblivion. However, after much pestering and carrying (Whilst kicking and screaming) she ended up riding it twice.

Also, I met Jenni. It was nice to see her again since I don't think we've met since last Summer. We didn't really have much time to catch up, since Tamsin and I were with some of Tamsins friends, but it was still so lovely to see Jenni again.

So all in all, Alton Towers was a great day out. Returning back to Tamsins, though, the two of us were absolutely shattered.

I spent some of the rest of the time with housemate Chris and his family, which was also very nice. Chris and I did 6 games of bowling on Thursday, in fact. My arms are still sore from the wear and tear on my muscles!

Anyway, whittering on about what I've done is really quite boring... I think I've babbled enough to mark down in my "diary" what I've been up to without boring people too much.

I think I'll get an early night to catch up on the lack of sleep caused by going "straight to sleep" during the majority of nights this week.
