bad weeks and good weeks
I was exhausted. I am now feeling ok. The reason for this escapes me - definitely not early bedtimes cos I did intend to try that more but kept getting distracted (ooh shiny!!!)I think it's just better this week!
Maybe cos I got home work done and gone and real work done and gone and can pretend my days were productive!Think it's mostly cos I got to see many of my favourite peoples on sunday and on monday and on tuesday and today with pints and visits and hair dying and coffee tho...and have been booked for hot chocolate tomorrow which is kinda sweet!
Also I have 2 polish girls living in my front room - the (POlish)housemate they were visiting extended his holiday in Poland until next Tuesday, and gave them his keys so that they could stay here as was originally planned...until next Tuesday..
Maybe they get to wave at eachother at the airport ors
Slightly odd but a)they're really sweet and b)they brought us posh vodka
And yeah i probly wont get to drink any of it but it has a nice label :)

Science
Let's be honest here - I'm not very good at science...mostly what I'm good at is creme eggs (please refer to my fascinating work on potential kinder/creme egg combination). Thusly in the interests of cremeeggpseudoscience (or as I like to call it, "as an excuse") I was forced today to purchase the oh so new and very scary (because of its newness) creme egg bar...
Clearly the name is based more on marketing than on reality as it is a bar and not an egg (or a number of eggs glued together with some kind of chocolate paste...now that might be good...)but nonetheless as a consumer I was convinced so I guess it works.
There's very little science actually - just a verdict :)
It was good. But the chocolate vs goo ratio is all off - too much chocolate and too little goo.
So clearly, the creme egg bar is the healthy option :D
Huzzah!
Note: If I had a car/could drive I may have had to drive to Gort, where the seasonal speciality (no I'm not joking) is battered creme egg.
This is yet another fantastic reason (or..excuse...I may have mentioned this term before...) for me never to own a car...
I rest my case.
