April in a Nutshell

Hey Everyone,

Just thought I would add some comments and pics of my April...

So April was fun ,but tough...

Well it actually started with Graeme and Tiff moving into their new flat on Friday the 4th April... It all started as a pleasant, civilised affair as can be seen by Graeme relaxingly pouring himself another glass of French wine!

The evening was great! And Tiff cooked us some delicious and healthy Salmon fillets.

As one can see, we all started going a bit red and got a bit jolly.

So Jolly in fact, that we managed to persuade Graeme and Tiff to go out for a few drinks!!! And this is where it all turned a bit scary - I still don't know how I managed to get home...

But in the end, we all made it home alive! Even though I believe we all suffered extremely painful hangovers - I know I did.

In the beginning of April, I took this pic of the ESD 1st Year boys having lunch outside Stags.

And I was very proud to be able to say that I know the guy who designed this awesomely crazy wing-mast! Wow!

I also cycled through to the Hamble a couple of times, and took this pic from the Itchen River Bridge...

And the view from the other side.

And a pony near Weston!

So, after reading my flatmates awesome door sign, I decided to make my own!

It was really cool! But I wasn't ready for the graffiti abuse I was about to suffer!!

It was Environmental rock at the end of April, and I never knew so many hippies lived in Southampton, and was quite shocked to realise that only hippies seem to care about the environment. It is a sad state of affairs in England, when only the hippies care.

We had a stall from EWB there, and where right next to the Circus club, which was quite awesome, because we got to see a LOT of juggling.

And then the strangest thing happened. The SUPER hippies rocked up, and started doing this crazy dances in front of us. Apparently its called Morris Dancing. They went mental and hit each others sticks with sticks. The only non-hippie who was there was the mayor who you can see wearing the gold bling in the top right of the pic below.

Dave and Fiona came through! So I suppose there were 3 non-hippies...

Note the awesome beard on the right...

Hippies...

The stall next to us were advertising the naked bicycle tour around Southampton. It was all about lets get naked... and we have a cause. Not, "Yeah! Don't use petrol - lets get naked, but lets get NAKED... uhhh to decrease petrol consumption..."

It was quite successful! I had a good time!

And that was my basic April from a weekend point of view.

Just thought you guys might like some pics.

Keep well
