Finishing the day with fruit strudle!

ANOTHER BUSY DAY, with working away at all my uni work! Had a Newsday today which went all right, I mostly covered the then breaking news of the Alton Towers power cut, pleased everyone is all right and that everything is back to normal. Especially as I am off there tomorrow for the day with my brither, Ashley.

The Newsday was all day today so left Ashley, who is up at mine, in all day and he made a fruit strudel. He wandered to Sainsbury brought the ingredients then he was back to get cooking. When I go back he said it was problematic cooking it in a student kitchen with no rolling pin and no scales, meaning a lot of guess work.

However it turned out pretty well, although the pastry was not quite right, Ashley think he probably put in too much flour! Other than that was lovely though, thanks! As he is staying here a few more days I am looking forward to some more cakes being whipped up!

Easter Nearly here ....

WELL IT APPEARS Easter is pretty much here!

Ben and Nathan have gone home today for the holiday leaving just me and Simon here for a couple of days until we will both be gone too!

I finally helped Nathan pop his balloons today, as he had quite a lot left! Apparently he does not like popping them because of the noise and that a couple of them had flour in still! His room was stinking of rubber though so it would have been awful if he left them over Easter as they continued to slowly deflate. However with a knife I quickly popped all of the balloons. Then he set off home with his Mum who had come to pick him up!

I am very pleased with my Thirteen package as it has had well over 2,000 views in just twenty four hours!

We had fun last night however I will wait to tell you about it until the video I filmed is ready, so keep an eye here! However it has something to do with Nathan attempting to cook!

Alton Towers Th13teen!

SORRY FOR MY slight neglect for a couple of days of not posting, but Uni work has been keeping me very busy!

Ben cooked last night and I tell you he does make a nice spag bowl! Had a good morning at Alton Towers filming yesterday, the new ride Thirteen! Then we had to return to the newsroom and edit it ready for the bulletin.

Here is package we made.

Busy Day!

WELL ANOTHER REALLY busy day but just time to squeeze a quick blog post in before I finish my work and then bed! Had a Newsday today, didn’t go the best but still was good effort from everyone, the first two bulletins went really well though! Got to pick our options for next year now too, just brings home how close we are to being in our third and final year! But for now there are essays and assignments to be worked upon!

Somebody managed to leave the cooker on all night in the flat last night! Consequently on getting up this morning bright and early and stumbling into the kitchen it was rather shall we say on the warm side! The heat made me want to just back to sleep! Now we have some nice heat marks up the cupboard as well.

Ben also decided to try and put his mouldy bread in the hallway ceiling tiles, instead of throwing it away. Nathan tried to retrieve it however was too short but with Simons backup they managed to retrieve it and put it in the bin!

At dinner Ben some how got Chilli Con Carnie delivered to his door, I didn’t get any though!! Nathan came in and quickly warmed up another tin curry. I somehow managed to shoot part of his dinner across him, with the balloon pump, oops! Anyway after Ben had finished eating his food he quickly started hurling insults at Nathan. After he eventually got bored with that he set about trying to soft boil and egg. With asking a few people for advice he set about cooking his egg. We don’t have any egg cups, so instead he used a Shot Glass to sit the egg in. After all the effort apparently it was slightly “hard”. He also managed to tip salt in Nathans and then Simon’s hair, Simon wasn’t too amused when it was his salt he was wasting!

Time goes so quickly!

WELL JUST ATTEMPTED a pillow fight with Simon but I suppose unsurprisingly he won, I am putting it down to his size advantage!!

Anyway have a few busy days lined up with BJ social tonight then work first thing tomorrow followed by lecture in afternoon and then work Saturday and Monday. Thinking that I am over half way through University though is pretty scary though time goes so quickly. It seems like only the other day I started! ... Only a couple of weeks until Easter then just deadlines and pretty much done for another year and then will be in my third and final year! ... Then I will have to go and get a proper job in the real world!! On the exciting side this time in twelve weeks I will be out of the UK and down under in Australia for a month!

All sorted with where I am going to live next year now, going to stay where I am now. Nearly moved to College Court there was a pros and cons to both! Bigger room here, though is nicer at college court, but it’s up a big hill but is closer ... you get the picture! ... I will have all new flat mates next year, so hopefully I will be lucky again like this year and get a good set! .. We have had some really good times in the flat so far but hay there’s a good few weeks really left until the end of the year so let the good times roll.
