Seeing as I never mentioned it, I went to Unity Day on Saturday. The sun was out and it was very hot. This gave me plenty of excuses for sitting down and taking
pictures of pretty people though. I went on my own as Simon was insisting on staying inside, and I spotted Andy and Angela from Swarthmore, Ria who used to go to SHIP and Jessica (David's friend). I mulled around for a couple of hours then came home as my back was hurting and not much was happening. I intended to go back for the music around 6pm, but I was still in too much pain, so I rang David and persuaded him to come down and see me instead of meeting in the park as we'd agreed. We spent lots of time hugging and talking nonsense. He did however spot that there's a very good reason why Leeds Bradford International Airport, (
www.lbia.co.uk, wasn't named Leeds and Bradford International Airport.
On a similar theme, a B3tan spotted today that the website of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons is
baps.co.uk. These things have kept me smiling all day, along with
the wonderful wallpaper made for me by
Eclectech (who incidentally is incredibly talented and highly recommended, and whenever you're feeling low, she's always guaranteed to be able to cheer you up with her pictures).
My cheek is almost healed now, there's very little gunk coming from it, and the swelling has considerably reduced. I even managed to eat a sandwich today! The best I've had prior to that has been some pasta and a couple of carefully chewed small sandwiches. I'm still determined to get a pizza once I get the
bar exchanged for a
labret. I'm supposed to be doing that on Thursday, which is when I go to
Sheffield, so I might have to wait until I get home though.
And in other news, Rory has quit his job. He sold his shares to his business partner, received a cheque for £20,000 and is planning on spending most of October traveling around Mongolia. There's not really much you can say to that. We're looking at the possibility of spending Christmas in Eastern Europe - Budapest, Sofia, Prague, Krakow. Anything's better than my family.
