The shelvs in the kitchen have seemed grotty and horribly for ages, so I finally got around to recovering them =) Just remind me to have the cupboard doors closed when we have an inspection on Thursday!!
I've always wondered this, but in every toilet (I always though it was just in the ladies but Tom informs me it's in the gents as well) on campus there's a small plaque with some poetry "But, in chaste hearts uninfluenced by the power Of outward change, there blooms a deathless flower, That breathes on earth the air of paradise."

Effectively aerobics to hip-hop with added dance moves - which su

We're going on holiday for a little bit (Wilts, South Coast and France). Not sure when I'll have chance to post photos so I've sketched out the next few days at least ;) Take care and see you soon xx
Years ago Charlotte and I hosted a Buffy themed cocktail evening. Somewhere we posted up recipes, it was a good night. This post on Kotaku reminded me of that (and then swiftly the brain ache that followed the next day) http://scrollbar.dk/events/20080509.Final.Fantasy.Night/
