The weather at the minute is absolutely dogshit. Right after I posted the other day, the weather went from nice and a bit sunny, with only a few white clouds, and out of nowhere came a couple of sparce light grey clouds. But the clouds began to grow, and become more grey. Soon, I was being tormented by the angry groans of the sky, and bombarded with flashing blue lights. Then it started. The rain. We had 30mm of rain that day. It was running down the road practically like a rivulet. The constant barrage of droplets on my window that seemed as if it were pretty insistent on coming through to wetten me. 

I am back home in Manchester at the minute.  Matt brought me home yesterday lunch time.. It was almost like fate. Matt has had to come home for two days to do some photography work with a relative, and since my town is on his way home (practically) I came home. When Matt and I were only 10 minutes from my town, I surreptitiously phoned my auntie to see if she was in, and I would surprise her (because I don't get to come home very often), as it was about three o'clock yesterday, and my mum wouldn't be home until six. But when I phoned, my mum answered, but the line was funny and it died. She phoned back, and I made the excuse that I just wanted to say "hi" on the phone. As it transpired, my grandmother was also there. So that worked out really well. I'm going back to my aunties in a bit to see one of my cousins, then Matt should be getting to mine around six to go back to Nottingham, but unfortunately, thats just about when my mum gets in from work, so I think the time we spent together last night will be our last for a good few weeks.

But I'm very excited about going to London on Friday, even if Ezgi will not be with us on Saturday. I think James and I will pull an all nighter with her, she can sleep on the plane, and we can take it easy for the rest of the day before our 21h30 train home. Oh god. Why does she have to go back. *sigh* First time we get to properly see her in months and her friend in Turkey has a car accident meaning Ezgi has to go and see her. Oh well, at least she is coming to our uni's summer party and will be coming up before then too for a weekend! :-) Things are gonna be great over the next few months. A day trip to Edinburgh, The Summer Party (which reminds me that I need to buy my ticket!), weekends with Ezgi, hopefully a trip to Hull if I can afford it, and then re-uniting with my Manchester friends when we all come back from university. Good times.

I need a job though before I can do anything. I'm going to speak to a family friend soon see if he has any temp work over summer like he did last. I'm still waiting to hear from Waterstones, and I also want to speak to my old job and tell them to either give me some work or get stuffed. After my heart troubles in January, they refused to give me shifts. That was so long ago. It's nearly May.

I'm hoping to make this summer a lot more memorable than the last.

PS: Esa-Pekka Salonen is coming to Manchester to conduct Gambit and Der Feuervogel! [dies]. And I laughed at the TV last night when a TV presenter pronounced Paavo Järvi's name as if it were Pavu Jervi.
