"I am very ugly and need to go to an ugly home."

The grand achievement of my day today has been coming to the realisation that an ugly home would be a very unfortunate place to live. I may even risk arrest and wear a balaclava in public to prevent such a turn of events. As of course I have one right here in my handbag...

The moral of this tale is that one hour of sleep is not really adequate to keep me in a state of coherence. In fact attempting to write this at 2:20am is probably no more intelligent. But being in the company of someone who is similarly sleep-deprived is a sure way to provide amusement for both parties. Especially when you make a spur-of-the-moment decision to spend the day in Leeds for no reason other than 'because we can'. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that Leeds is a wonderful place, but when you haven't been before and don't know what you are trying to find, alongside a case of vacuum cleaner syndrome, it doesn't make for the most productive explorations! Having said that, I had an incredible day, aided and abetted by a wonderful companion, who was right in saying that we would get back to York in time for a gospel choir concert!

And I feel it needs to be said that getting your wonderfully obliging boyfriend out of bed at 4:30am to escort you to hand in your essay is not a bad way to spend the wee sma's! Albeit a little surreal and disorientating.

However, I have conquered one impossibility in facing my fear of computers and all their friends and relations by setting up this page!! AND I did it ALL BY MYSELF! Very special and I feel that I deserve a reward. Ooooh biscuits...
