So we've been in the house for nearly two months now. Time certainly flies! We've got most of our furniture now, most of our furnishings and this week will see the replacement of a fire place and the beginnings of a garden.

The saddest thing that has happened in the last few weeks is the disappearance of Dunk. He got married yesterday and then ran off to Thailand! Cheeky! Poor N has to stay here until she finishes her course and I dread to think what he might have done to their flat by the time she gets there! She needs to have regular updates! lol

We made sure that he had a good send off with bowling, bbqs and then Frisbee :) I was very grateful for the bits that he decided to leave with me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with 2 tubes of shuttle cocks but hey! I'm sure I can think of something :)

It's been a harder time for my closest of friends what with people leaving and very ill family members. But I can see hope in the eyes of all of them. Especially in the eyes of the one who really does have too much to deal with. That hope comes from the fact that she's getting angry and if it doesn't change soon there will be no going back. I can tell that it's happening already and although it terrifies her I am proud of her strength and courage in such an awful time. :)

School is cool (as they say) and exam season is upon us. The Literature examination was today and there was a real mixed response from the students. Some were overjoyed at the questions another announced that "that was the crapest exam I've ever done" and quickly revealed they'd done no preparation,. mmm dedication ... they're doing it wrong :) I'm sure they'll be fine in the end though. It'll be the best summer ever for them :)
