I was reading the packaging of the sweets I was eating yesterday, as you do. Now I want to know why they feel the need to sneak vegetables into strawberry laces. Is nothing sacred?! It was bad enough when I was younger and discovered that the chunks in Branston Pickle are bits of veg... Stopped eating it for ages, heh
I wonder if that counts as one of my five a day?
Anyway it's almost the weekend again, which means I'm off camping again, and have purchased yet another bottle of wine. My current criteria for buying wine is that it's pink, costs less than a fiver, and most importantly has a screw cap. Clearly I am a connoisseur! ahem.
My plan for last weekend was to have a break from revision and go and watch my mates play canoe polo, party, and generally enjoy myself.
This backfired at some point last week, when someone realised that the B team only had 4 players (you need 5, plus ideally a sub or two), and I found myself offering to take my kit and play. hmm. I still haven't made my mind up about polo - I like playing it, but I don't think I'm really competitive enough, heh. Also the rules say you can push people in if they have the ball!!
On the plus side, this means that there are now plenty of photos of me in a boat! Obviously only a polo boat, but that's a start, hehe. I have no idea who we played, but we lost, drew, then lost again. And forfeited the game were supposed to play at 8:30 on Sunday morning, because no-one bothered checking so we only found out at 25 past. At this point the team captain was throwing up and the rest of us were asleep and hungover, so no way would we have got up, got ready and got on the pitch in time. oops!
Anyway, apparently we finished 11th. 11 is obviously a good number, as that's where our Ladies and Old Git teams finished in their leagues too (the MAN team were 18th, good effort!)
Actually I'm not 100% sure what did happen to it... it was certainly squashed against the tarmac of my parents drive by something, either a foot or a tyre. I reckon car, because if you trod on it I think you'd slip. Also I found it underneath where a car had been.
But it still works absolutely fine, yay Which meant my drive to Shropshire yesterday was accompanied by much loud music. Really cheesy music. I've acquired a whole load of crap 80s pop (as an example of just how bad, this includes the Ghostbusters theme), which I am entirely blaming on too many nights out drunkenly partying. It's fantastic, but I'm not convinced my car is soundproof enough for the rest of the world to be able to cope with it...
