    It's been good! Went out for hot chocolate with Sarah on Friday and she stayed tea, we all went out for a meal yesterday at a lovely country pub and the food was amazing!!! She gets on really well with my parents! She's suggested taking Talia out somewhere before she goes home today. Socialising so much is exhausting though!

    I got an email on my birthday telling me I've passed my level 1 in counselling, so extra present I wasn't expecting! I got some amazing presents, my mum and dad bought me the complete Luther boxset, the Librarian of Auschwitz, and book 4 and a book of short stories from the Miss Peregrine series. My brother bought me Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (me joining a book group on fb was dangerous as I'm finding so many recommendations ). J's parents went to a literary event in Beverley a month or so back and attended talks by the authors Kate Ellis and Ann Cleeves. They only got them to personally sign books to me!!! Though Ann Cleeves got confused and wrote Happy Christmas . And J was his usual amazing self. He took me into some of the bookshops in Beverley and asked if there were any books I actually wanted after saying I shouldn't buy any and I pointed out Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris and briefly mentioned being interested in reading some Philip Larkin. Well... he went back into Beverley and bought me Cilka's Journey. And the complete works of Philip Larkin. And The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett. And a Mark Morriss album. And a Bluetones live CD that I never even knew existed. And a bottle of bubble bath!
    I feel very lucky and spoilt but my to read piles are starting to wobble...

    Oh and I have a 2 week extension for the essay due tomorrow after actually telling my tutor that the pain I've had in my hands and wrists has affected how long I could actually sit and work for!

    I'm so glad that you told them! Well done love!

    OO I got some of thermoskin gloves - they're so weird! But they do indeed help. Thank you.

    They're brilliant and so much easier to type in than my splints!
