Into Flames

Doesnt feel like two days since my last post, oh well.

I forgot to mention in the last post, Niamh was in hospital again! *FYI Niamh is my surrogate sister with Cystic Fibrosis, and is regularly in and out of hospital* Shes home now, but i always get down when she goes into hospital...anytime shes got a chest infection, cold, flu. Unfortunately with CFers is quite often and i think cos im older and more aware of what is happening to her. Also thinking a lot about what is going to happen to her if she doesnt get a transplant when she needs it, which isnt just yet...thank god!

Anyway on Sunday, i spent bit with my wee nephew. Hes just over 18 months and is getting to grips the whole walking thing. Brought him to the field behind us and said hi to the horsies :) Then tried him walking with just one hand (usually has to hold on with both hands) and he was flying! Kept encouraging him, telling him he was such a clever boy and isnt Billy a big boy...usual you tell a 18 mnth toddler, but when i was saying it he kept looking up at me laughing and smiling!! Was so giddy and so happy he was having fun with me, haha. At the park he had to go over to each of the three benches and hit them, climb up and look around and moving on...lil fool haha

Monday, that was college. Went to labs and handed up by project and started our next experiment: making soap! We were making soap from different oils and fats by using a reflux method...actually more fun than it sounds :P So far making soap out of Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil, Pig Fat and other things you didnt think made soap :S Basic boiling it in a water bath, watching the temp doesnt go past certain point and thats it...simples. Spent most of the day with Sophie, friend from class who was au pair-ing (thats a word, right?) in spain about three weeks ago. The family were really mean, locking her in her room, not feeding her and the dad was abit of a perv. So was her first day back and was just catching up and checking how she was...usual yano? :P

Today, tuesday was its usual drag. Start of with biology, which i love and always have loved!! So nice start, then drove to McD's for the 2 hour break...pretty sweet so far. Then the class after the break was H&S, which is the tutor that didn want to meet me *If you dont know what im on about, check last 2-3 posts ;)* Anyway i couldnt stand having to see her again, cos im sure she will be asking where ive been for the past 2 weeks and i will tell her....but also might say something i later regret, need to cool off! All she had to do was meet me and i would have told her all...but now unless she asks again she gets nothing off me!
Tonight was pretty interesting, no matty or charlie as they are making history by going to some sports thingy ball. But the biggie is they are the first gay couple to go, matt was nervous when i was talking to him earlier today, will be nothing to Mr. Bond ;) Also talking to this new fella, Daniel (awesome name i know!) from Scotland...very funny lad and says the weirdest things. Dont worry, you're not being replaced...he has a normal sleep pattern and left me at half 12! Not hardcore like us, right Matty? :P

Think thats all for the min, happy normal post...dont do many of them! Back later with more...maybe?
