Well, only one more exam to go (Fri). I feel the looming presence of a 2:2, but I shall attempt to stave it off.

Malta sounds a bit touristy.

Hey ho, back to work.

Meal

Your mum and I had a most enjoyable meal of fish and chips and a shared brimming beaker of tepid cola sitting on the bench beneath the rustic pergola, in celebration of our upcoming wedding anniversary. True to form, when I commented on the deliciousness of my piece of fish, Mama wanted to try it, clearly convinced hers wasn’t up to scratch. Amazingly, they tasted identical. To round it off, we had miniscule cups of coffee.
Practically an orgy, I hear you say!

Private school meals

Clearly, Tom, you have no idea of the quality of garbage they served up in my old school. Unless, of course, you’re partial to mushy peas and slurry curry.

Gozo is green(ish) and worth a visit. Remember the cart tracks – you can’t swim in them or eat them but they’re the most interesting thing I remember about Malta.

Cheap deals

Those were the cheap deals! I’ll take another look; but ninety percent of fares on line seems to be ex London.

hmm. hows aboout last minute dot com? surely you can find some sort of cheap deal with your searching skills! what about cook islands? the trouble is you have to fly to oz to get the cheap flights. in taupo at the moment. much fun.
