Mmm bop

Saturday was such a ridiculously sunny and warm day (and I fear probably the best day of the year) that we decided to take full advantage of the summery weather. We achieved this thus:
  • Sat in Kelvingrove Park, had a picnic (from Subway and Greggs) and ate ice-cream. I managed to get insanely sun burnt down one arm and the opposite leg... not quite sure how that happened. We decided to leave when the fannies with the 'Throw it and it makes a lot of noise' decided to start throwing it over us and everyone else sitting on the hill. I was hoping for some kind of horrific injury/dog attack to befall them. Sadly not.
  • We then had a barbeque at chez moi, where the menu consisted of homemade burgers and BBQ chicken (cooked in the George Foreman... you know, to avoid death by raw barbequed chicken). Sadly, my father had taken it upon himself that day to varnish everything in the garden, so we were running the risk of varnish on our clothes/being engulfed in a ball of fire.
  • Carrie and I then partied it on down at Driftwood and the Garage. It was surprisingly good: surprising because it was a. town b. a Saturday night and c. rubbish people from the year above us at Cleveden were there. We remedied this by drinking a. Corona b. Fosters and c. Sambuca.

Today has been a mix of good and bad. Bad: I started to study, and then looked at my timetable and despaired at the amount of work I still have to do (although I have a fantastic week to look forwards to that consists of: large bowel dissection, diarrhoeal disease lab and obesity). Good: I went to see Hanson at the Carling Academy as they rocked out their classics such as, em, Penny and Me? I have already seen Hanson once previously and missed Mmm Bop on account of an epileptic, I was GUTTED. Thankfully, there were no seizures/fits/falls/fractures/projectile vomiting during it this time and I can now cross another of the 1000 things to do before I die off the list.
