... iron holder. I’ve made myself "useful", a little. We’ve also practised playing computer games to impress friends with high scores and spent far too long on Facebook. Laura has written some notes for one of her stories and declared that she must get out of her pyjamas before she starts on the vodka. I am pleased to note that it is nearly 5pm and she is still in bed clothes rather than swilling her mouth out with booze first thing in the morning!

... please.

To cut a long story short, our foray into mainland Europe has been postponed whilst we hide in Norfolk, cross our fingers and toes (and other body parts) and rather anxiously await news on Brian's health. Good news, the flat purchase went through at the end of October, it's decorated and now with a letting agent. Bad news, it needed a new boiler and radiators!

... which are great for jungle trekking. Explore the virgin interiors of the forests and see the abundance of local flora and fauna in the jungles of Vietnam. The jungle trekking is one of the best adventure activities that you can do in the country.

Water Sports - Vietnam is ideal for a water sports holiday as there are several rivers that invite international tourists to surf their beaches, swim, go river rafting and sample the ...

What else? Not much happened this last week, I had two big pieces of coursework to hand in, so I was busy getting them done. I also got parcels from mum, Caroline and Tiff, which was so awesome! It was like Christmas! Thanks so much guys! Caroline sent me Tim Tams (all gone now) and I introduced a few people to the wonders of Tim Tams, which was nice.

I also went to the Sainsbury Centre, which is an art gallery associated with the UEA. It is a wonderful ...

Hello!

I have been really busy the last week or so, so this is going to be a bit epic, sorry! Last weekend I went to Cromer, which is a little town on the coast or Norfolk. It's about 45 minutes on the train from Norwich. I jumped on the train on Saturday morning and just went to check it out. The beach was absolutely freezing! Crazy British people had their poor little children out in bathers (!) on the windy grey beach. Nuts!

Anyway, the old pier ...

... outdoors. Even if you are not a fan of the outdoors, this will still be a great adventure for two newlyweds. Experiencing wildlife is never boring. It is something fun, different, and a great experience. Honeymoons can be very pricey, but these are very affordable rates. Just think of all the great stories you can tell when you return home.

... is a TV script for the first episode of a TV drama. Well, that is what it is at the moment anyway! That is what has kept me so busy this week. I have written about 25 pages of it and now I'm editing it (down to 20 pages so far) before I send it to my supervisor to get her comments on it. Because I am writing a TV script I have somehow managed to convince myself that watching television series is "homework". Have really been enjoying an English one ...

... A couple of people in my flat have been intrigued by my vegetarian cooking, but also seem to be impressed by how colourful and nice the meals I cook look. So next week I am teaching Sam and maybe Bish (both live in my flat) to cook some veggie meals. Should be fun! Am going to convince them to come to the markets with me to buy the veggies so that they get a feel for the whole process.

I'm also making morning tea tomorrow (scones) for Jenny, who is moving out of our flat ...

... about 18-20 degrees. The walk was really nice, most of it was boardwalk along the lake and it kind of reminded me of an English version of parts of Wilson's Prom. Apart from two people fishing, everyone else walking down there had one or more dogs. Apparently there are more dogs than humans in Britian and I can believe it!

So, on to uni life in general. I'm still settling in, but I think it is going to be a really good semester here. The uni system doesn't seem that ...

... The ferry ride was pretty smooth, it seemed to pass fast. Morgan and Garrett played a video game each and we ate our way too expensive food. (Wow the pound just kills the dollar) And presto...we were in the UK. After a little while the kids fell asleep and slept most of the remaining way to the base and lodging. We arrived, got our bags upstairs and headed to bed. It had been a long day and we were getting up early the next morning.
