Headed out to Finland for a long weekend last Friday with a load of my old Uni buddies. As you can see it’s been a bit chilly out there! It reached -9°C and was snowing on our last night there, which you can really feel when you’re stumbling around drunkenly looking for a taxi. It had been -20 the week before though, so it was relatively warm.

I was disappointed that we didn’t make it out to a proper finnish sauna and get to roll around in the snow but there’s always next time! I did get to walk across a frozen lake, visit the moomin shop and eat reindeer though, which seems finnish enough to me!

Having a fairly quiet day today… It would be foolish to make some bold statement like “I’m never going to drink again” but I think I’m fairly confident that I can say “I’m never going to inhale alcohol vapours through a straw again” without being proved wrong. Cocktails that get set on fire are very pretty, but not great for the head.

So, it’s been an exciting couple of weeks! I’ve moved into a new flat in Holborn, which is very handy for going in to lectures. I’ve been going swimming a lot, I’ve been salsa dancing, I’ve finally got round to filling the enormous beanbag that my sister made for me two christmases ago, I visited Ireland and I’ve been to loads of art galleries around the east end! I’d like to tell you about Simply Botiful which is an installation just off brick lane, but it’s far more fun to go there with no idea what to expect - it is fantastic though! The slides at Tate Modern are good, but Simply Botiful is far, far more ambitious and interesting. Go there!

Also, regarding last month’s word of the month, it’s something I picked up from my favourite philosopher - The t-rex from dinosaur comics.
