Well, ok, perhaps its not that bad, but, its not what im use to lol 😉
Student accomodation, is, sparse….as you can see…
But, i have a fridge for my chocolate, and an internet connection. Thats the necessities taken care of lol
Its been a good day 🙂 I have sunburn, i know where the local Spar is (i had to find it when we realised we had no milk or teaspoons) and i met up with an old Bookcrossing friend i havent seen since 2006!
Dinner (salmon and salad) was nice. I purchased 4 books from the book room (already!) and put faces to lots of online names ive seen on a regular basis on the SSS.
The evenings speaker was Simon Whaley who’s very entertaining talk was entitled “Sandwiched Between Kate Adie and Nick Hornby”. Its basis, comparing writers to olympic athletes and involved showering the audience with chocolate coins! 😉
Im currently back in my room whilst most of the other delegates take part in a Quiz Night. Im shattered, and that 1 glass of wine i had before dinner has gone to my head lol
Tomorrow looks like it will be hectic, but great fun. Im really looking forward to my course with Kate Walker, oh…..and breakfast! 😉

You got a pink duvet cover so I’m automatically jealous! (Mine was boring blue.) I totally embraced the “student” lifestyle over the course of the week – “floordrobe” and all… but was lovely to be home in my own bed last night! 🙂
