Various news items

Hello again,


Just thought I'd post a little update on here:



New house!

Yes, it's that time of year again! We've just signed for a new place just down the road from where we are now (contact me for address details) - it's an absolute palace (basement, living room, bathrooms, master bedroom, plus office/spare room), just on the edge of Meanwood. We're really looking forward to moving in on the 17th June, and we're looking at having a house cooling party (for moving out of our old flat, which'll be reasonably empty) before we hand the keys back on the 30th of June.


Tattoo (again)

My tattoo is now nearly finished, I went back to Physical Poetry on Tuesday to get all the little stars filled in. Just a few more swirls to go on before it's complete - I'll get photos up when it's done!


End of Uni

We're all stressing out in uni once again (that's why I'm wasting yet more time by posting on here, rather than completing my essays), as we've got our last deadline before the summer project to hand in on Friday. I'm sure we'll all feel a lot more chilled out this time next week (deadline is at 12 on the 9th), and we'll probably already be in the pub by then! From then on, just the 10,000 words of translation plus the accompanying commentary (boo..)...


And finally...

Last thing is that our summer holiday is booked! We're off to Brittany to stay at my parents' place (between Dinan, Dinard and St. Brieuc) for a few days, then of to stay with Babeth and David in Fécamp in Normandy (where I spent my gap year teaching before coming to Leeds). I'm all very excited, and impressed at the money that can be saved by taking the Megabus rather than catching the train down to London!


More news soon...

C'est donc les vacances pour toi, Mike !
Tu vas pouvoir faire bronzer ton bras magnifiquement étoilé ;-)
A bientôt !

Effectivement, je suis en quasi-vacances à partir d'aujourd'hui, j'ai rendu mon avant-dernier projet hier à midi (il ne me reste que le projet d'été - 10 000 mots de traduction et 3 000 mots de commentaire - à rendre avant le 31 août)...

Pour mon bras, il est hors de question de le mettre au soleil, ça détruit l'encre, ça m'a coûté trop cher!!!

A bientôt!
