“Maybe when I leave I’ll live a life less empty”
Soooo... what I initially thought was a tarantula darting around the floors has turned out to be a mouse. My landlord wants me to poison it but I discovered a far better alternative and devised my very own home-made mouse trap out of a speakers box, baking tray, kebab sticks and some feta cheese...“We are all just prisoners here, of our own device”
Far more productive today; got everything but my final discussion in the bag. Chris was less successful which is why he is still sat at his laptop even when I was curled up in his bed watching a film and eating sweet and sour prawn balls. Bad luck Chris ;)
Hideously unproductive day! Managed to watch 3 standup DVD's and do no dissertation. Apparently it's time to accept that I don't recover as quickly from a heavy weekend as I used to. As a result, here's me cuddled up in bed with my Koalas!! #gettingold“You continue to walk on the edge of the precipice because over the years you have become fascinated by how close you can walk without losing your balance”

it takes a special kind,
Cheerleaders are full of life,
and a little bit out of their mind."

Nice day at work, walking around in the sun and then sitting and chilling at the Lodge watching the birds and the squirrels. This little squirrel seems to want to score a goal!!“Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten”
My daffodils are coming out :D Nothing shouts spring like a garden full of yellow flowers and nothing makes me feel happier and more at peace than a sunny spring day ♥I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?

After a big St. Paddy's celebration, we ended up spending the whole of Friday in bed playing jailbreak and watching comic relief. This picture of my housemate Chris may explain why :p“Odds of being killed by falling out of bed - 1 in 2 million”
Lovely night out in Liquid with my wonderful housies to mark St. Paddy's day (any excuse). Boys, I adore you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much :)
Lovely day; had my appointment in the morning and am finally on my way to getting my operation. So looking forward to it as once my legs are fixed I can start running properly again :D. Then went to look at the golf club where we are organising to have Poppie's 80th birthday lunch. It looks beautiful and I'm really looking forward to getting the whole family together (including my cousins who are amongst my favourite people in the world and who I don't see nearly enough of!). Whilst we were there we saw people sailing model boats on the lake and I couldn't resist a picture :)“Pooh?" asked Piglet,"You have a lot of friends, don't you?"
"Yes," said Pooh, "but only one Piglet."
“I'm heading out tonight; travelling light, I'm gonna start all over again and buy a one way ticket on a west bound train”
Sorted out bank stuff, returned a (very) overdue library book, went to the gym, bought a watermelon. Very productive day :). Also accidentally ended up on TV when sat having a coffee at Cafe P.“Go for long walks,
indulge in hot baths,
question your assumptions,
be kind to yourself,
live for the moment,
loosen up,
scream,
curse the world,
count your blessings,
just let go...
just be”
Dealing with a nightmare housemate after a long weekend at work. SO not the one.I’m busy, you’re ugly, have a nice day
4 hours into my shift... 20 hours left to go... coffee. black. no sugar. Just how God intended ♥
Roses to cheer you up on a dull day :)“Wasn’t it beautiful...

After a difficult meeting with my diss supervisor and a tough gym session, I was very very pleased to be curled up in bed with my koala bears and gossip girl :)"Go to sleep and close your eyesand dream of broken butterflies"
When everything seems a little bit scary outside, I love curling up in my room with my candles lit. Even if it is to do dissertation work
