Ahh! I love being back in Newcastle! Not only am I reunited with my fabulous sushi pals, but my eyes are suddenly opened to an amazing little Tie Rack stall that I must have walked past like a million times before! They have the most gorgeous ties you could imagine, not forgetting those paisley silk neckercheifs! And since there happened to be a sale as a friend and I strolled past (Universe, I'm taking you're hint), I treated myself to two ties. £3.74 each - reduced from about £14!! This makes Andrew very happy, as do trips anew to Blackwells, Yo!Sushi, Waterstones and Starbucks all in one afternoon. And boy, has that gossip mill been working hard over Christmas! Not only are there tales of horrendously cringeworthy sexual escapades making the rounds (which shall be discussed no further here!), we also stand faced with an horizon of prospective gentlemen, an intricate web of double barrell stealing marriage schemes and relocation, relocation. Exciting stuff!
Finally! after what seems like an age, I have purchased a book to read purely for pleasure, with no obligations to my degree. That last part may be slightly questionable due to newly-sprung ponderings on a topic for my dissertation next year, which for the minute looks like it might be taking root in the Tudor/Renaissance era. Anyway! The book in question is Ken Follett's The Pillars Of The Earth: which has recieved high praise from the BBC, Sunday Times, Sunday Express and Cosmo, no less.
So I shall update on this as it progresses at another date, but for now I'll be settling down to plough through a couple more chapters of Eliot's Middlemarch in preperation for upcoming lectures. I think that's all. Oh, and Nine was a fail. Or, more specifically, I should say that the website of the cinema in question is a fail. Unimpressive times.
You love It xx
