I've been away for a while, hence no entries for the last week or so.
I was pleasantly surprised a few weekends ago when I actually managed to meet somebody nice in Cambridge. I know, miracles will never cease! Although, as he not actually from Cambridge originally, I'm not sure if it counts... But whatever, it made a nice change to meet someone around here who isn't some kind of uber-intellectual with the social skills of a fork. So, I met him at this coffee shop in town (ah, Starbucks, is there nothing you can't do?) and we've been getting to know each other.
But then my dad's job decides that he needs to go on a trip abroad to somewhere very tropical to sort out something or other, and I got whisked away for a week to a. Now, this isn't the kind of thing that I would normally moan about (and that makes it sound like it happens to me all the time, which it doesn't!) but, I mean - timing!!! So I've spent the last week sitting on a beach and being spoiled by some lovely waiters, which was nice, but kinda frustrating when you want to be at home seeing if this new guy you met's any good for you!
Anyway, when I got back to the lovely UK - and had to wrap myself up in a jumper! - it was a real shame to find out that nothing happened while I was away, apart from Gordon Brown telling people that they definately must eat their crusts and finish their greens. Which I have no problem with - waste sucks - but, come on! Is this the best he can do?!?
So I thought this story was more interesting. Apparently, a man in India took his wife to court and got a divorce. Except it wasn't his wife, it was a lookalike. His real wife wasn't too pleased when she found out, but I thought he gets full marks for innovation.
