Hmph.

Meh meh... I don't have much to say really.

Today I am locked out of my house. I went to work with only my phone , stupid girl, and upon returning home, realised that every single door, window, padlock and keyhole, were firmly locked. I considered my many options of what to do. I could go and visit someone, although I'm really not in a very sociable mood, as I've just got back from stocktaking in Germany, (which I must just quickly say, was a brilliant week, and I loved it all) but now my body clock is feeling very much in turmoil, and more than a little confused. The result is a bally headache that's lasted the last twenty-four hours, aching bones and a constant stream of yawns. "Oh, I am not complaining. Merely stating the case."

I love that phrase, cause it so true for me. It may sound like I'm complaining, but really I'm not, I'm just saying what's happening, teehee.



But nuff of that, back to my present predicament. So visiting someone was out of the question as I was likely to lop their head of with the fire poker at the slightest provocation, so I then considered slowly wasting away in the garden until someone found me, and either buried my remains or amputated half of my vital parts due to the frostbite I would have attained.
So, actually after visiting my Aunt and Uncle's house across the road, who usually have a spare key, but on this occasion didn't, I've slowly made my way here, to the local library, which may come to be my haunt for the next few days!

OK, that was yesterday early afternoon. I took a break and today, remembered the half written post, and decided to finish it. The end of the story really isn't all that interesting. Dorit, my saviour rang me whilst I was in said library. (I put that in specially to annoy you Nicky;)
You know what its like when your phone goes of in the library? Everyone gives you extremely frustrated glares, and look as if their gonna throw whatever is at hand in your general direction!

I had to whisper "hello, ring me back in a sec" whilst running for my life from the book devotees, and exiting the building with all possible haste. I proceeded home with the same haste, where upon me and Dorit missed each other by walking up and down Foxhall Road an infinite amount of times. When we finally found each other, we walked to Sarah D's and partook of tea and toast, as there was no key to be found. I rang my Dad yet again, and luckily he was back in half an hour, being my second hero of the day! Well, I did tell you it wasn't all that remarkable!

Anyway, to finish of this post on a satirical note, I have observed many different traits at my current work place, all of them highly amusing, and mostly to do with the way people speak.

The best conversation I have yet observed was held over the phone, by one of my colleges. I have to improvise, cause I obviously didn't hear what the person on the other end was saying, but I'm sure it went something like this ... by the way, see if you can spot the drastically overused word ...

Si: Alright mate. You alright?
Mate: Yeah mate, I'm alright. You alright?
Si: Yeah, I'm alright, mate.
Mate: So, didja watch the football at the weekend?
Si: Yeh, I did. It was alright actually wasn't it?
Mate: It was alright, yeah. Good weather as well!
Si: Yeah, that was a bit of alright, alright! Alrighty then, lets all use our right hands to write alright as much as we rightly can!

OK, I made up that last bit, but you catch my drift? Anyway, everything is so much funnier if you've been up from six in the morning. So Hmphh!

More caves.

Yes, I know what your thinking. I to am very impressed with the amount of updating thats been going on recently. If only I could throw as much enthusiasm into finding a proper job. That said, I did buy the jobs newspaper today, the one my Mum is always telling me to get, and that is a small kind of accomplishment, I suppose.



This post is about the youth conference in england, which was a couple of weeks ago now and was an absolutly brillaint time, in every way.
I'm really not used to having a camera yet, so of course, I forgot to charge the battery and therefor I dont have many good pictures from the time, but thats ok I suppose, cause I cant really squeeze many into this blog of mine!

Verity, enjoyin some fine english cuisine. So nice to have her back from uni for a bit!
Hmph... charming.Hannah and Elizabeth, sisterly consolation.

Aww, Olivia Sanders. She is just soo lovely.

At this point, I think I should explain that on the Saturday afternoon, we all split up to do different activities of our choice. Here's some pics of the caving/ pot-holing that I did.

"WHAT" I hear you scream, are you doing putting yourself through that kind of torture. Well, I have to say, that I was a little nervous, as watching "The Desent" before hand did not do me and Dorit any favours in the jumpy department, and I kinda remembered that I was ever so slightly chlostrophobic, once I was down there. Well, anyway, det gikk bra and there were no cave collapses, and thankfully no one died, and I overcame a phobia! Good trip really!

Here's me and Dorit after just hauling ourselves out of the caves once and for all. Tired but happy!
No idea how you spell his name, but anyway, here's the ever cheerfull Aiden who was our guide.
And also Rob Honeyman, looking distinctly like a mole.
The entrepid explorers!
Well, that jus speaks for itself, doesnt it!

Puu -erly random!

One friday night, after and extra good youth meeting, the challenge set us by that weeks group leaders was....
"Kree-ata som theeng, usinga exces-seeva amounts ofa buiskuits, an all manner of other things, lioke icinga suga ana jaffa cake-ah". Ok, excepting the fact that they didnt quite say that, as that was my rubbish attempt at writing with an italian accent, cause the word "create" just has those kinda italian assosiations for me, they did actually say "Just make anything you like, using all these materials!"
The results are as follows, as I say, they are purely random!

One half of my team decided to make a rocket, as you can see, it was quite good, although they are responsible for the wasting of at least one whole tree, as they used an entire roll of paper towels as their shape base. How terrible!

This groups design was apparently inspired by a hindu temple. Hmmm.

Me and Abby decided not to go with the rocket and like true ex-alagers, we set about building our very own brunstad. Yes, it was back to front, and the torch was bigger than the meeting hall, but hey, its the effort that counts, right. And it bought back many memories, of the good old days.

The winning team, made a confectionary paradise.

Emily Jacobs, pulling her trademark face.

Nay and Dorit, doing what comes most naturally to them ... laughing their bu..., ahem, heads off.

Aunty Abi who is ever so proud of her new nephew, Leo.

Me and Alexander Turner, who is such a cuteypie!

Kate the brilliant musician, playing her beloved trumpet.

Masquerade ... Plastic faces on parade!

Yep, these are pictures from our first activities group of the term. So much fun. Me and Esther arrange for a group of six girls, and I must say, so far, its not hard work AT ALL.

In these pictures, we are applying face masks, and making smooothies.

I can't say much about them, except, hehehe, they make me laugh...

Eeew. Yes I know its just a face mask, but still, it jus looks nasty!

Twenty girls together....

We had an evening with most of the girls in Didcot a few weeks ago. It was so much fun, and just really nice to be all together, even if it was all in one house. Well, put it this way, none of us were gonna get chilly ;) But yeh, another oppourtunity to try out my camera and for everyone else to pay the price, heh heh heh.

Miri and Trisha. Both such sweeties :)
As it was a girls evening, the furry socks were out in force. Also, someone was experimenting with the colour swapper on my camera. The result was alot alot of quite strange photos!
The babes, jus chillin. Andreas and Leo.
Minus Lucy and me, yup, thats about all of us.MILES of SMILES!
Neomi, a really lovely lass from Hungary.
Ems and Leo. Hehehe, he looks a little bemused.
