A brief history of the past week

It’s been an exciting week. I ate an entire litre of Gelatelli Premium chocolate ice-cream (£2 from Lidl) in around 24 hours, I declined an £85 offer for a Bosch drill twinset and I ignored a call from a private number on my mobile. University life wise things are much the same. Raisa did the lectures this week and I was pretty bored, as usual. I’ve barely said a word to anyone but sometime during the week I gave a student a lift up the hill to St. Mary’s (she was in my poetry class last semester). The highlight of the week was discovering that whoever it was that bought my book last year had left a 5 star review on Amazon. I would be willing to bet money that they wrote the review before the finished the book (it gets worse as it goes on) but still, it was a nice thought. Onwards and upwards.
