Roads have been full, even the pavements around Hyde Park have been bustling in the mornings, to the extent in fact that it takes longer to actually get anywhere than it ever did before, even on foot. While I can't complain (more studnets means more societies and more societies means more web work and hosting) getting served at the pub is becoming more difficult than flying your own rocket to the moon.

Although working at a Leeds-based travel company with a core customer base of students, I really shouldn't grumble. Like I say, I'm just jealous! Aha – it all makes sense now!

I don’t mind being stalked – actually the thought of it brightens up my day haha

Oh I'm just jealous because they're so young and carefree - don't really get the whole fancy dress any day of the week thing though! Have a good walk this weekend - I'm supposed to be off for a bike ride weather allowing (and I'm not stalking you - just happened to see it on your post!)
