The only night I'm not free at present is the 28th of June, when I'll be in L*nd*n.

Why oh why are you going down there? Terrible place IMO, it's nowhere near the north!

Ahh, but it looked like Scotland!

No, back here now, only just acclimatised. Cheers for the pm on jobs when I was there; ages ago now. I found something abuot a weeks after your pm and bummed across the country so all was fine.

How was it then? Lived up to expectations? "fine" is a bit bland!

What you doing back here then? Got a job sorted yet? Are you staying with your folks till you get sorted?

Easiest way to sum up the sheer simplicity of travelling around, also it's hard to sum up a year. I've had to do that with plenty of people woh ask "how was Australia?" expecting one sentence which can summarise a year. It's the easy wasy out. a more accurate response would be either "it was a year" or an extended discussion with observations on the ups and downs, and of course people don't often give a monkeys about the latter whilst the former sounds too smug and philosophical.

It did not live up to expectations but it and I evolved and found many satisfactions. That's the closest short answer I can really put forward.

I am back home for financial reasons and hope to go back to uni so am temp scum at present earning easy money.

What about yourself?

Dunno

What would you fancy?

It's getting back from Manc at night that's a problem for me...otherwise Queering the Pitch doesn't look too bad. The Village Fete looks a giggle, that's on a Sunday affy though - although isn't it a bank hol next day? Which would be good

Oh, just work stuff. Hopefully a quick in-out

To be honest, I don't think I can be bothered to go out, I just don't feel like it these days. Too much hassle getting into town and then it's hideously expensive, then people asking why I'm not drinking and me having to mumble some crap about the car... nah

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Well I'm still up for a drink in Manchester - I've never been there. Would have to get back to Sheffield after - or have a driveway to park my camper on!
