Spring may have sprung

Another few weeks with nothing much to post! Quiet times still. We have had quite a bit of nice sunny weather down here in Cornwall. We're not counting our chickens for a sunny Easter though, the weather's changeable here t the best of times! We've been enjoying it while we have it though. A couple of days ago I went to Fowey with my cousins. The breeze was cool, but apart from that it was like summer!  I overdid it a bit & was exhausted & aching afterwards, but on the plus side, it shows that the thyroxine increase is working. There was no way I could have done it a couple of months ago!

We started off at Readymoney Cove (great name!), passed the huge house that supposedly belongs to Dawn French, walked into the town centre, &  had a past on the harbour, all the time being watched over by a seagull. He was wasting his time though, we did not share! They are very arrogant looking birds, aren't they?

 

Yesterday I met an old school friend in town. It was strange at first, we hadn't seen each other for over 20 years, although we keep in touch over Facebook. Despite feeling a bit nervous at first, it was a good laugh. It was good to catch up, & have a girl day out. It was a surprise though to discover she had just become a grandmother despite being m age! I still feel as though I'm still in my 20s, not late 30s!



Hopefully things may be progressing in my student accommodation quest. The university has means to help people with deposits for those in difficult situations, as long as we are applying for university run accommodation. I saw the on-campus accommodation when I had my tour, and although it's not as nice as my first choice, it looks pretty good. Certainly better than most universities, & all the rooms have en-suite bathrooms. It's set up in flats of around 6 rooms as opposed to halls, so we don't have to share kitchens with too many people. I also had the option to request a flat with other mature students & people who would prefer a quieter flat. I have been accepted for a flat, I just need to wait for confirmation from the other office before I finalise it. All in all, the accommodation office has been very helpful.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a nice Easter. It's going to be very weird not to be in Greece for Easter. It's the main festival of the year, like Christmas is in UK. It's going to be strange not doing anything. I hope my friends in Greece put up lots of photos on Facebook for me. Καλο Πασχα Ολους! Χρονια Πολλα!
