Work, work work!

A FAIRLY UNEVENTFUL weekend with just work, work, work! However only a week until Easter holiday now!

Made a surprise discovery yesterday evening after trying to contact Australia to arrange a trip I want to do out there! I battled with my landline and the extension for dialing a different country. I then decided to use the other option the tour operator gave me to contact them! I downloaded and installed Skype and dialed through with it. First time no answer, second time I was forwarded and somebody answered! I was already to use instant messenger however to my shock my computer had a microphone, which I had never known about and they could hear me and before I knew it I was having a conversation. On further investigation I found out my webcam which I have never really used has the microphone within. Anyway that was my first Skype Experience!

Was not impressed with Bens cooking technique last night, he microwaved a piece of delicious salmon and then splashed it with water after he cooked it to had some moisture! Not how I would cook salmon!

Busy Day ...

BUSY DAY AT work today but now a weekend to look forward to ish. Well sorting out my room and uni work stuff tomorrow but then Milton Keynes skiing on Sunday! :-) Surprisingly Nathan has not gone home this weekend and is staying here, but Simon went home today so it is still not a full flat this weekend!

Nice bit of wrestling in kitchen between Ben and Nathan earlier, as we were trying to tie Nathan up outside, we did eventually manage to do it however it wasn’t too successful as he resisted too much and it was rather loose! Ben has previously managed to nick half of Nathans dinner, eating half of his chips! ... However being the big and strong man I am I fiercely protected my tuna pasta bake that I had made, he wernt getting any of that!

Nathan still has quite a lot of balloons left in his room from the other day! This is what it looks like now!

I went to see the Youth Political Hustings last night, at the Victoria Hall it was pretty good and of course Mick was on top form, battering the Labour representative! Was interesting evening, though did kind of make you feel Stoke-on-Trent has no future.

Well nice lay in tomorrow hopefully if my body clock isn’t too set on getting up early and then I will get all the jobs done I need too!

Weekend is Here

THE WEEKEND IS here and both Ben and Nathan have retreated home, so maybe a quiet weekend! So probably not much excitement around the flat! Nathan is practicing cooking chilli con carnie whilst he is at home to cook it for us all next week. So sure that will be interesting, especially if you bear in mind the culinary skills he has previously demonstrated! :) Look forward to it though, hopefully it’s tasty.

Anyway I have had a busy day and am knackered so am leaving it at a short post for now!

Settled back to week of work

AFTER AN EXCITING weekend the week has settled back down to work and lectures. Nathan enjoyed another tinned meal last night! .... The only problem with Nathan’s tins are that they all have somehow had their labels taken off, wouldn’t like to say who had anything to do with that! .... Well it makes it quite interesting with half a dozen or so unlabeled cans, it is always good seeing what he is going to get to eat! He shakes them and feels the weight of all of them all in an attempt to work out what is what, all very amusing. Disappointingly, or luckily for him, he has always managed to open the one which he is after! There are still a few unlabeled cans left though, still waiting to be opened!

Ben has finally with a few words from Simon eventually decided to clean the blood off from the bottom of the fridge at last, nice! ... Well it is lucky he decided to clean up as he went back to his home today and is not back until next week so I didn’t really fancy it being left there or having to clean it myself.

It will be quiet in the flat this weekend, with just me and Simon as Nathan is going home too! Well surprise, surprise Nathan always goes home. We say this is his third home, after his parent’s house and the library! He says he has moved out from home however consider this; he goes home every weekend, pretty much, leaving Friday coming back late Sunday. He also goes to his aunts at least one evening a week to be fed and also his gran’s once a week. So all in all he cooks his main meal, well heats a tin up, twice a week! Of course he also has no need to do his laundry as he always takes it home with him. Most of the time he doesn’t even have to get the train home, dad’s taxi picks him up!! So do you really think he has moved out from home?
