Further adventures of the appallingly bad blogger...
Last month we went to Cardiff for a couple of nights to see FVK and visit the Doctor Who Experience. The kids had been to Cardiff a couple of years ago but I got left behind as I was horribly ill. It was kind of important to me cos I was supposed to have arranged the original trip to Cardiff but my mother ended up taking over the plans. It all went without a hitch and FVK were amazeballs as ever.
Kathleen came up with a really good (if expensive and terrifying) idea a while back...as we went to Scotland in March and Wales in April wouldn't it be cool if we could go to Northern Ireland this year too? Well, buoyed up by the success of a two night stay in Cardiff I have only ruddy gone and booked it for August! We're flying to Belfast, spending three nights there, then (as it's so close) taking the train down to Dublin and spending three nights in the Republic of Ireland too. Then it'll be train back to Belfast and fly home. And, because I have more money than sense, we're going to spend a couple of nights in Bristol the following week. We're going to see Ashestoangels / Bad Pollyanna / William Control at The Fleece...we've been for gigs several times but never visited Bristol itself so now we're going to.
Time is dragging me ever closer to the end of A219 Exploring the Classical World and I am at -17% enthusiasm for revision. I've signed up for A222 Exploring Philosophy next, to start in October. At least I'll get my first decent break since February 2012! Hoping that goes better or my entire degree is in jeopardy.
