I can't feel my torso!

I've had a brilliant week staying at Liz's house.  As always I was made to feel very welcome and at home and all the other things which make staying at someone's house an enjoyable experience.

I travelled down by train on Thursday.  I left my house, big bag in hand, at about 14:35 and arrived in Durham at 19:50.  I spent most of the journey listening to Halo: The Fall of Reach but I didn't quite finish it because I decided to pay closer attention to the stations we were passing through when I got closer to my destination.

Liz and I went into town to meet up with Caitlin on the Friday.  We also bumped into Ross and, later, Hazel; albeit for a short time only. 

On Saturday Elizabeth went out for a meal with Rangers Hazel, Caitlin, Jen and baby Sam; and I was left in the house to watch the new Doctor Who with Liz's parents.

We were supposed to meet up with Maddy and Jen for all-you-can-eat Chinese food on Sunday but Jen was ill so it was just the three of us.  The food was great and I wish I could have eaten more but I was quite full by the end of it and decided it was sensible to stop.  I didn't want a repeat of the time I had all-you-can-eat pizza after college back in L6...

Yesterday was Monday and Monday was the day we came back to uni.  It was also the day that I finally finished Halo: The Fall of Reach.  We went to Morecambe beforehand and had a picnic on the path that runs along the beach, and then we looked around the shops and walked to the end of the pier and back.  The sun was shining and it was lovely. 

We all went to Bella Italia for tea and I had a Pepperoni Pizza and a Banoffee Italiano pudding.  Both were fantastic.  Elizabeth had a little complain because she seemed to feel that all her family was being rude to her or making fun at her expense and then Hazel burst out laughing. 

I wish the next 10 weeks could be as good as the last few days but I'm sure they'll go downhill as soon as lectures begin, and then again even more-so when the lectures end, because that signals the start of the examination period.
