DUCK!

This is so stinking adorable. I wish I could nestle into my own feathers.

Tracey's visit and the Lake District

Tracey and I lived together for two years, and because of our varied schedules we would sometimes not see each other until the evening... sometimes late evening. It was always amusing when we would (frequently) be wearing similar outfits. The picture above was taken at my university when Tracey arrived... I was happy to discover that though we have not lived together for months now... we are still able to be unintentionally matchy matchy. haha

Tracey makes amazing pancakes. The combination of Tracey's pancakes and Terry's coffee could make the world a place of perfect peace, it certainly made my morning much brighter!

Because my essays were completed and Tracey was in town we went off to the Lakes for the weekend. Where we could see the lovely sites of northern England. We were all in the need of a holiday. Off we went to the Lake District, Jim, Maddy, Tracey and I. :o) It was great weekend! We had this crazy luck with weather. When we were outside it was sunny and nice, then as soon as we got into the car/pub/hostel it would start pouring outside. Worked out quite well. :o)

The view from the top of a hill we climbed. I am holding Maddy's jacket in my fleece.

The bluebells were in bloom and there were fields of them through the woods... it was really quite breath taking. The forest floor seemed to glow.

I love the Lake District because it is full of little places like this, tucked away in the middle of the hills. Also I wore wool socks with my chacos and no one batted an eye. I will have to make more trips to this oasis up north.

Green fields everywhere.

I've successfully compartmentalized all my brain power

That's right! All my brain power... well most... I saved some for this blog entry... is temporarily, exclusively, allocated to the writing of two essays and life support essentials... aka food.

How do I know this? Well!I will tell you!Yesterday, we completed course evaluations for my Gender and Romanticism module. These evaluations involve various questions on how we found the course, what we would modify, what we learned, etc. You would think that the thought provoking questions would cause me to stumble, but no... no, no... it was, in fact, the first question:

What is your course of study?

The answer is English Literature... which if had been oral feedback I would have expressed eloquently and with flare; as it was, I had to write it... and it went something like this:

English Let... no that's not right... English Lit... hmmm... what comes next.... English Liturature... that doesn't look right, what did Fiona write? oh! okay. yah. English Literature. *laughs*

I mean.... really??? Okay, at least I had the write idea...Back to my essays, and thank goodness for spell check and friends to help with the editing process...
