Cornish Fun

Right, tomorrow I'm off up to Cambridge for 3 weeks of outreach to international students and I'm quite, no actually very, excited about it. I'm also a bit nervous though ... it's not the kind of thing I normally do AND I'm going to have to ride a bike!!! After I fell off my bike that had stabiliser wheels on as a kid I've never really ridden a bike... I figured it was something that obviously just wasn't for me ... I had an attempt back in June before I went to Hong Kong and it wasn't too bad... but .... actual roads?!?!

Yesterday was so much fun ... a group of people from my family church headed out to the beach for a surfing/ bbq/ camping trip ... I forget how much I like driving, especially in Cornwall. Friends, the road, some pumping tunes, sun out, wind blowing .... AWESOME
Maybe there was a bit too much wind out at the beach though - now I see why I don't get burnt here. After going in the sea which was ABSOLUTELY FREEZING I just couldn't warm up again, so whilst everyone else was out tanning etc I was wrapped up in a couple of jumpers and a hoody. I did manage to get my first really good coffee of the trip though at a funky little beach side cafe, watching the sun set ... now that's worth getting cold for.

This week has felt so much like a holiday, even though I've done the odd bit of work for my Dad, I've been out so much that I've barely had chance to see my parents and I haven't eaten at home in days!!! What's really weird though is that I'm mainly hanging out with my brothers friends... all mine seem to have got married and moved away. Saying that though I'm not exactly around much ;) It's really made me realise again though how important it is to have close friends around you.

Anyways I probably won't be able to update for the whole 3 weeks I'm in Cambridge, or check the 180 forum, and maybe not even check my emails ... oh my word that's crazy ... no internet for 3 weeks!!!!

So I guess I'll update when I get back, right packing ... packing...

Oh yeah and I have to end by revealing my daftest moment of the week so far ... I opened the washing machine door ... whilst all the water was stll inside. Sometimes I amaze myself with my brilliance ... pure genius!!! ;)
The Hong Kong laundry system is the way for me to go I think ... pay someone else to do it!!!

Now I really must PACK!!!!
