Cliche



It was a gorgeous day yesterday. So i hung my washing out to dry in the burning sun. A swift half hour later i went outside to check my boxers. Nearly dry! apart from the elastic bit around the top. So i say to myself "another half hour should do it". I return to the confines of my room. Then the volume of a swimming pool empties itself into our back yard from the heavens. These things are sent to try us!
Therefore being a long serving scout i did what i do best- improvise.








(notice the trainers on the radiator, i had to practically swim to the quiz night last night and please note i was in the winning team)

I played squash with jamie this morning.
He used me as one of the walls.
The bruise is quite impressive.













(yes I do shave my legs)

ah. Many a stressed person surround me. But i am an island of composure. I have learnt the art of trusting that if i don't do the work then someone else will have to do it for me, thus the work gets done and i feel good.

In our fluid power lecture today we were told that by releasing industrial oil into the environment (i.e oil slicks, mechancial leakages etc) we will actually help nature on a microbiological level. Never mind the birds, it's what goes on under the water that counts. Apparently.

3 hours on my hospital project. We nearly worked out how big the pipes should be to carry hot water. Then we actually worked out all our calculations were wrong. again.
1 hour on my Race car project. That was fun cos i can do that.
1 hour on transforming my lecturers' faces:
