Exams

(this is my fourth attempt to write this post)
My exam timetable has finally come through and it's na' lookin' good! I know the rest of you will doubtless be as shocked and apalled as I am at this travesty - I have an exam at 9:00 AM on a Saturday. A Saturday! There are no suitable words to express my horror at the prospect of this dreadful event.

Anyway, enough drama-queening.

My new jacket was looking highly stylish yesterday as was my new tie! Although I wore the jacket when I sat down, which creased the back and then I took it off to sit down and hung it from the back of the chair, which then creased the collar...
Here are some more photos from last weekend:

*nonchalant whistling* Redux

ok... so I've been away even longer this time. I just don't get much time to write my blog. My thanks to the people who have commented on my blog - at least someone is reading it (sorry about not publishing your comments earlier, I'd forgotten that I'd turned comment moderation on). Not a great deal has been happening (that's, of course, not true - I just can't think of anything to write about) but I too went for the walk at the Brecon mountain centre on Monday and, er, well, I got to the top. I also got the opportunity to chuck a disc around (which was nice) and take some arty photos.
Arty photoI was also impressed with my own ability to run around the circle without falling over in pain.
Another interesting happening this week is my acquisition of a new suit and a dinnerjacket and an additional jacket - I shall be the most handsomest young man on the cruise this summer (which, if last year's cruise is anything to go by, will be a win by default). I was might impressed at how much the jacket cost, since it came from the Next shop at MacArthur Glen and was... (*drumroll*) £14, down from £75. Although, the dinnerjacket was free so that was better. Whilst I was at the factory outlet village (which I shall henceforce go back to calling MacArthur Glen, since it's shorter) I took the opportunity to pop into Moss Bros. and get a proper dress shirt - you can always tell when you've bought a shirt from Moss Bros. because it comes attached to the cardboard with real metal pins rather than plastic clips. Anyone doing some sewing and want some pins?
I also went for a bit of a walk on Good Friday & Easter Saturday. On Good Friday we went to 'the canal' although quite where it is is a mystery. Anyway, I took some photos there:

Then, on Easter Saturday we went on an arduous walk up a mountain (well, we drove to the car park at the top of Caerphilly mountain and walked a few hundred yards (sorry, meters) over to the trig point). I took some photos there too:

Then we went over to The Wenallt, and I took some more photos there:

Then we popped into my grandmother's house on the way home and I took a photo of a daffodil there:

Isn't the world a photogenic place?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to be getting on with.
