I go home this weekend for the first time in four weeks. It’s probably the longest time I’ve been away, apart from Sunday. Surprisingly, I haven’t really missed home I think university has been too much fun to feel homesick.

Anyway, as wee all know Saturday is bonfire night. It’s a tradition in my house that everyone flocks home for fireworks, so (if memory serves) Luke and mark and kat are coming home this weekend. With any luck, Cyril will be there too. It will be great to see them – feels like ages. having said that, this term is flying by, to the extent that I’m concerned my third year will be over too quickly.

I can’t wait to see ginger and the sprog. With any luck, they might make some back yard chemistry [insert sinister laugh]. It’s fun when those two get together. Mind you, I’m finally starting to feel, after years of being the stupid one, that I’m on an intellectual par with them.

Life is very good indeed.
