Games, a Big Old House and Stuff

Sorry I have been all quiet the past fortnight but nothing really noteworthy has happened recently!

Last weekend I popped up to Exeter to see my good Uni buddy Rachael... well, I say 'Uni Buddy', but we never actually met at Uni though we both went to Aberystwyth Uni, were in the same year, and knew some of the same people... life is just weird like that sometimes! Anyhoo... I always love to see Rachael, in some odd ways it is like visiting myself! We both share a slight obsession for house cleaning, we love the same books, many of the same films and generally we like to do the same stuff! Where am I going with this you might be wondering?! Rachael and I not only share the same name but we share the same star sign (by a day or two) and the same year of birth and I realise that together we prove that Astrology can't be all wrong! We talked about this year, which I might add has been my Annus Horribilis and she felt 100% the same. Funny really, cos my New Year's resolution was to not have another year like 2005... well, I surpassed myself! It's been far far worse! So in some way I kept my resolution... though not quite as I intended!!! Anyway, I am now keeping my fingers crossed that Rachael finds herself a boyfriend by next week! Gives a girl hope!! :O)

Whilst in Exeter I had a great weekend. Indulged my passion for historic houses once more (it's been a while!), visited an old Mill full of craft items, soaked up the beautiful British weather (what a year it has been) and then went fruit picking! It's been a while since I have been so content and I got to share it with a kindred spirit. Thanks Rachael!

The rest of the week has been pretty quiet... so quiet in fact I went out and bought myself a Nintendo DS Lite. So much for budgeting! Ah well, we only get to live once, might as well enjoy it! No fun in having money in the bank you can't spend, that's my philosophy! Of course, every time my conscience bites I just blame my friend Mark Bell for showing me the cute little dude running around in the Nintendo game 'Animal Crossing'! Damn you Bell.
