School today was a bit of a strange one.  Study wise it was great and we got to practise a 1½ hr massage (and receive one :-0).  We also had our written test, which was fine.

After we left the little coffee shop with the wonderful free internet we went home and had an early night which was needed afetr our overly long night train! 18 or so hours and we were both left shattered as it is very hard to sleep with a loud banging train steaming through the land whilst keeping one eye open for thieves on your bags!!
