Sandcastle

SandcastleRight, quick post to say that I'm not posting. Which I then obviously am. But not a real one. Just a quick one to say I'm out for the weekend, building sandcastles down at the seaside in Devon, trying desperately to get something resembling a tan, and will post early next week.

And for those who are interested: I did get my US visa, great story to tell about that, will tell all next week (anyone wanna buy a big box of bandaids?). And I still don't have anywhere to live in New York.

Thanks Divine for the heads-up on the temporal closedown of the school's gym. I will go for plan B: running on Regents Park or Hyde Park, given the amazing days we are having in London :D

On a separate note, I must confess I have not read your blog (nor other student's blogs, nothing personal) for weeks (travelling, flathunting,...), so I am looking forward to catching up!

Check My life is turned in to one long to do list, with items waiting to be checked off. pay the visa fee before July 31st -- check. Another £63 gone. get my passport photos taken for my visa application -- check (as a complete aside: how come no one ever looks good in passport pictures? I look like a common thief having a mugshot taken, this way I'll never get my visa. get travel guides to NYC -- check (after long deliberations, and yes, in my case they are long deliberations, I am a qualified book historian, anything concerning books goes through thorough preparation and much thought, I decided to splurge on the Not For Tourists Guide to New York City (see also their webpage here, which has a pdf copy of this guide), and the City Secrets to New York City. One eminently useful, the other very inspirational. Still wondering if I should pick up a half price copy of the Rough Guide...) spend last Sunday alone in London in a proper fashion -- check. Did my chores, and wandered around London on foot and on bus in absolutely fabulous weather. God I love this city. worry about where...

Whoa... All of a sudden, life has taken a hectic turn. Apologies to everyone who reads this and whose emails I haven't answered yet, I'll try and get round to it this weekend. So what has happened that is making life so hectic and that has caused friend FL to call me 'the Diva formerly known as Divine Miss N' because I've been acting a little bit Diva-like and not respond to email and generally being hard to track down? Hmmm, nothing out of the ordinary really. You know how sometimes they predict horrible weather and it turns out to be a wonderful day, but that was so unexpected? Same here. I thought it was going to be nice and easy, turns out to be nice and whirlwind. Last weekend, a friend and I went to Torquay for the weekend (which was my first time driving in a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the road), and that was good fun. Stayed in this great, kinda shabby but not quite, filled with old fogey's (spelling?) hotel, which was fabulous. The seafood was very good, the weather was good on the second day (finally got something resembling a...
