Happy Christmas/New Year my dear, hope you had a good one!!!

Summer was brilliant and nuts and I miss it terribly. Silly old college has kicked in properly and I have I big fat thesis to write about things I know very little about and that I have no interest in.

Other than that things are pretty great. Do you have exams now? Final year after the summer? Any big plans for the summer?

Hey!! How are you? How's college going? Tell me everything.

Expect a manic phone call! Then off to the mainland for interrailing fun, one day pass to Sziget and then Mysteryland.....phew......I'm only bearly holding my excitement together.....

I won't enjoy myself without you though*. Fear not, soon we shall be reunited, intrepid reporters reporting reports together.


*may not be 100% accurate

hey how are ya? Things have been a little wacky here for the last few months, you've missed some mad ones. Hows college going? I have a degree...WOOHOO!! Going to Ibiza for a week soon can't wait....join us!! (an unreasonable request?)

Yup, finally finished. 5 fucking years! Have a job too, got one even before I finished in a company called (don't laugh) Pilz. It's so good to finish man, I get up in the morning and have nothing to do, WOO HOO! Am starting work on the 23rd of this month, just after Crete, so have loads of time off!

Can't wait for sziget and Mysteryland, the lineup for that looks unreal! what are you doing in that brewery? Did ya find a place for Mosley and Jimmy yet?

I feel like there's a distance between us..

How was Paddy's day down in Ozland? Do you paint the kangaroos green down there? Cos I'd really like to see that. In fact, if it wasn't already done, I'd appreciate you doing it just for me and sending me on the picgure. Or even better, the kangaroo. Just mark it as a gift and customs will never catch it...

Hey I applied for a postgraduate in journalism last week. Are you proud?

Apologies for being unable to converse with you on any basic level the other day, things were getting complicated and the patterns on the walls, carpet and upholstery in the pub we were in were doing strange things. How's college going, big fun all the time?

Tramp.

That is all.
