Helloooo :) This is Kate. I have been having a lovely time with the wonderful Bridgette Lane and Sarah Moneypenny! I have discovered that Durham is beautiful. It's basically like a rather posh and giant village with a cathedral and a castle.... which students live in! Blimey. The river is also amazing. It's in a small valley and there are trees which grow all the way down to the water's edge. I am rather jealous of the people who live here. Sarah has been the best tour guide and I have no idea how we did not fall into the river when we went rowing! I expect bridgette has explained what we got up to so I will try to not repeat her but we have had mounds of food and various mini adventures :) I feel very southern here (my accent has suddenly become posh)! Everyone is so much more chatty in the north. Today some woman joined in our conversation about doctor who in a book shop. Awesome!
Thank you sarah for a wonderful time!!
Kate. <3

THE INVASION OF DURHAM PYJAMAS
Right... Hello it's Bridgette,
I get a bit confused with blogs so I am just going to ramble.
Well here I am the furthest north I have ever been, a little bit too close to Scotland but I'll survive in order to see Sarah. So Durham is extremely pretty, which is made even more beautiful by the sunshine and it kinda makes me want to potter around in a pretty summer dress, looking at pretty historical buildings, drink tea and possibly listen to radio 4... as it will probably not surprise you that Liverpool does not make me feel like this.
Anywho on the History topic I discovered that Bede is buried in Durham cathedral, for all you silly science people that is basically the first person to write down Englands history a very long time ago, and Durham cathedral was founded in about 1093 ridiculously old.
Elsewhere we went rowing......ate a lot of food in a yum yum restaurant..... saw a college.....saw science site.....ate a lot of food.....watch dr who..... bought a massive book in oxfam which I then left in tesco and the train station, it was so big I kinda just forgot it existed.
Yeah well I keep spelling terribly and may make Antonia explode if I continue so Im going to stop
So farewell to my first and definitely last blog
xxxxx

Alone pyjamas.
I am in my house, (OLD) by myself.
It's very creepy, 'cause we live in a terrace and the noises from the other houses come through the walls, so i get convinced that there are people in the house, I mean literally convinced.... this is how convinced I am:
I leave the hall light on when Im going to sleep so that I can see the shadow of the person if they walk past.
I lock the back door, hide the key and chain the front, so no one can get in or out.
Also, I have started to pee with the door slightly open so I can peer round it if i hear a noise, but not open enough so they could see me, (THAT would be naughty...)
AND there has been a few incidents where I have been pootling around upstairs and the person, who I am convinced is hiding SOMEWHERE in my house, has made a noise, so I will grab the nearest blunt weapon option, so far i have managed to find-
my hairbrush
a rolled up autosport magazine
my molecular biology book (SO heavy it would definitely do some damage, if i could lift it )
and a few pegs (throw them in the assassin's face and run away screaming???)
Im not actually sure what i would do if I found the person... I like to think I'd stand my ground and order them out of the house, and call the police, but I'd probably just scream. MAYBE THAT WOULD WORK!!! I could do my ridiculously high pitched screaming thing and that would break their eardrums and they would be screaming in agony on the floor, shouldn't have invaded my house biatch!! and I would call the police :D SORTED.
LOVE and almost summery hugs.

After these stupid exams, thought i might have a cheeky peak at UCAS today, Just to try to scare myself into some revision......Get up Get up we're painting flowers, all over our faces, just for show, sit down shut up we're taking hours, we'll cover the bases as we go. Feel the sun on your skin, I just want you to let your hair loose my dear, oh my dear!
