There's something about the sea air. After a hectic few months at Uni, followed by a couple of weeks of fantastic travelling, it's hit me. I'm just absolutely shattered at the moment. So I've had lots of lazing around reading and, in part, thinking.

For Fathers Day on Sunday, the whole family went out for a carvery meal. For those that have no idea why I put the world "whole" in italics, my sister moved away from home about two years ago now. Things were my own personal hell at A-Level with problems in the family. So it struck me, rather upsettingly, that I had only seen her about six or seven times in the two years since she moved out. It's a feeling I can't well describe, but it's not a particularly nice one.

Other than that though, I'm having a great time. It's so nice to finally be able to wind down. Yay for the sea, sand, beach hut and Adnams beer.

As you can see we've been reading your web logs for some time now, Mr Chapman. It seems that you have been living two lives...

In one life you’re Matthew J Chapman, student at the respectable University of Southampton; you have an NUS number, you pay your tuition fees and you help your housemates do their coursework...

The other life is lived in Southwold, where you dress in outrageously bright shirts and are guilty of virtually every fashion based crime we have a law for...

rofl. Made me laugh out loud. All except that Southampton Uni isn't affliated with the NUS, therefore I don't have an NUS number...

...so how about I give you the finger and you give me my pint.

Next time you're in the area (Hitchin/Reading) I'll buy you one :p

Imho the NUS membership is worth it for the 20% off you get at Pizza Hut alone :o)
