Photos from bed, where I've been pretty much all weekend bar a pretty intense seven and a half hour shift at work on Saturday night. I've been feeling a little under the weather and down in the dumps so I decided to use it as a good excuse to sleep a lot and start doing some productive work - as I tweeted last night in the early hours of the morning, "Bad moods inspire good writing". I'm still unsure as to whether I'll share my fiction with you as I always worry that it isn't very good. But I've almost finished one short story and I have a tutorial tomorrow to find out what teach thinks. Two more to go, along with a big essay and some other writing that I'm just doing for personal gain.

I think the R&R was probably deserved after a somewhat hectic week. Instead of my seminar on Wednesday, Sophie and I took a trip to Meadowhall but as we had woken up so early we had shopped, dined at La Tasca and drank a jug of Sangria before two o clock. This prompted a surprise trip to Leeds where I met some of Sophie's friends from back home in Whitby - who are lovely. We drank until the last train home which we caught in a bit of a whirl. I'm heading back to Leeds again this weekend for a bit of a party/weekend bender. Fingers crossed I'll make it out alive!

Meeting Sophie, Nathan and his friend Josh in town soon for a drink and to watch them skate around. I have work at 7 so maybe I'll favour coffee over a pint. Although if somebody suggests the pub I can't say I'll be turning them down.
