Diary: November 2003

New Shoes and Cake Party

I bought two pairs of new shoes yesterday. It's great, now I can walk around in puddles without squelching!

Last night Laura had a cake party, it was cool. We ate sausages, sausage rolls, crisps, cakey things and truffles, drank milkshakes, and ate her chocolate cake (which was extremely good. A whole one would cost £17 at her place of work, apparently). Lots of fun.

Another Sunday, another weekend half over...

Yesterday I finished as much of the tonbschl site as possible (nearly there!), didn't win the lottery again, and went to a bath uni concert.

Tristan always tells me about the concerts (he's in the orchestra), but I hadn't been before, mostly because I've heard him practice. However, it actually wasn't that bad, especially once the orchestra had finished. They played a few things (mostly in tune), then there was a choir which sang some stuff (including Zadok the Priest, although most of the time I couldn't make out the words), there was an ...
