Reality Recommences...

Had an exhausting but lovely weekend away in Durham, and fell in love with the cathedral in a big way. It is just enormous, and I cannot for the life of me work out how they got those carvings into the columns...brilliant.


However, thanks to MadCow and her marvellous perspective on the world, I now think of it less as one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in the UK, and more as 'a great big Fuck You to the Scots'.

[Hangs cathedral-fetishists' anorak back in wardrobe until next time, and resumes normal life...]

More later, I have a stack of catching up to do, including booking my Speed Awareness Course, following my unfortunate misdemeanour last year. Three hours of being lectured about bad driving habits, for someone who wants to be a driving instructor when she's done with being a full-time mum is going to hurt.

It'll be a fine testament to my self-control if I don't get turfed out and prosecuted regardless. Must remember to take duct tape for my mouth.
