i'm in love

crazy weekend, momentous in many ways. went to Burton with Rowey on fri am. as he had a dentist appt so we stayed at his mum and dad's and he showed me around his hometown of Burton, which was pretty crazy, not how I imagined at all. It is totally dominated by breweries though, which I did imagine. We went past the Marmite factory too which was sweet! It really smelled of marmite mmmm. Then comes the momentous part of the weekend, i MET PADDY CONSIDINE!! my number one most fancied and loved actor!! I fucking MET him!! got his autograph, had a chat, oh my god, he was SO SO nice, I asked if I could take a photo and he said ONLY if I was in it!! The other thing was that he was having lunch with Richard Ayode, probably one of my other most loved men in the world! what are the chances?! anyway. they are emotions which I can not convey here so I won't try. Just imagine the celebrity who you love the most, then imagine meeting them, well that was it for me. bloody hell! I screamed for about 10 minutes when i got back to the car!

Went looking around for Burton's other famous celeb, Oswald Mosely's house, so we could wee on it or at least throw some rubbish over, he does seem to hold a kind of respect around Burton, which is pretty creepy, we went past a Mosely primary school for example, which seems pretty astounding to me! your kid with Mosely on her chest, off to school...it ain't right.

went on to cambridge where we were totally lazy and just chillaxed, played Professor Layton a lot on the DS, watched telly, was pretty nice. Saturday we went to town, mooched about in John Lewis, almost burst a fucking blood vessel in total frustration at how annoying people in Cambridge are. It's three fold, one: the pavments are tiny, two: there are far too many people everywhere, three: no one has ANY consideration for anyone else... everyone stands still across the pavement so you have to push your mum into the gutter and sidle along next to her, bloody hell it's annoying.

Watched 'Far From the Madding Crowd' , hadn't seen it since Mrs Smiley's class in year 10. Not sure why we watched it then anyway, we didn't study the text?! ANyway, it's pretty great, got it on LoveFilm, I love Thomas Hardy, he's becoming one of my best.

On Sunday we went to Anglesey Abbey to see the Dahlias, I must admit they were totally amazing, mum read out all the names and I took loads of photos, only downside of the experience being that a little boy lobbed a stick into my eye, ho hum! pleasure and pain!

went off to the garden centre as I have become determined to own some lavender. I need some plants now I have no garden. It's nicer anyway, I'd only worry about them and feel sad for them if they were outside and there was a storm or something! Now I can talk to them and keep them safe! Got rosemary and lavender plants and loads of cacti off mum. sweet.

anyway. loads to do today, got more clothes to e bay, loads of vintage ones off mum. got a job interview tomorrow for a cleaning job at leeds uni, at the halls that are miles away from the uni! arse! if i did get it, i'd be travelling the same amount as i was working each day!! still, beggars can't be choosers, it's be £100 a week, i think there's be no tax either cause it's too small earnings?

ok, i've rambled on enough. catch you on the flipside...

AAANNYYway... Continued on to Cambridge
