Hi Guys, Its been several months (at least) since my last blog and where has the time gone? I believe some people I know might say…the past (mainly my brother).  But yes, since starting Oxford Brookes again, strange and wonderful things have occured, although exciting might be a better word.

In no particular order, I have, very fortunately, been to see both; Bill Bailey and Feeder in the past two months! Toby and I went to see Bill Bailey at the Royal Albert Hall  (as you do…) for his Night with the BBC Concert Orchestra…. Very enthralling, entertaining and really really good!!!! Afterwards, Toby and I waited for about half an hour by the stage door, waiting to meet him. We were dancing with excitment and shivering with the cold weather. But meet him we did…It was so surreal…. The legend himself is in fact taller than I had anticipated, and I think both Toby and I agreed that BB wasn’t being purely himself… Although why you would be yourself, when you’re famous and meeting complete strangers who you’re never going to see again, I don’t know.  It was unbeliveable, quite literally. WE MET BILL BAILEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (see, unbelievable, right?) That made my October.

Feeder, I hear you say? My favourite band at present, and who have a new album out. Toby, being the amazing person he is, in my totally unbiased opinion, got us tickets for Brixton academy!!!! We went, we saw….Fightstar. Yeah. What can I say? Toby booked the wrong tickets? NOPE! Fightstar were supporting Feeder, and weren’t too boring, although one of their guitarists could have done with some coffee. Preferably with sugar in it. A lot of sugar….

Feeder were AMAZING!!!!!! We headbanged, sang and generally rocked out, the wholt time they were on stage. This was my first proper rock concert, and what a one to go see! (Feeder, Feeder… ominous chanting stops). So Thank you again Toby!

So, what else have I been up to, other than being treated to shows and meeting celebrities? (puts hands in pockets. shrugs), you know, general accounting stuff. Ratios, assessments, groupwork, coursework, a really fun Diwali party, working at Hairdressers, buying USB chameleons and flying helicopters, applying for a placement for next year to various companies and wondering what my exams are going to be like, because I have three in two weeks!! Eeeeeeek!

Hope you lovely people are more than okay and hope to gather you all in the holidays at mine at some point. Ah the joys of Wycombe’s hills in winter…..

ttfn (I finally know what that means, altho John and Soph have told me loads of times!!!)
