Emma I where having a deep conversation,
Emma said, "flobbba doba flobba dolloba putttttttttiii"
I replied, "No I don't like nuts!!"
this was followed by, "I like Balls."
Which of course explains everything.
Ok, truthfully, I want five blogs in November.
Mum my informed me today that we can start our advent calender tomorrow. I had to then confess that we started ours a week ago!!
Emma needs to learn that a question with two options can not be answered with "Yep".

The result of a hard morning...
In the future, a long time from now, when mankind has learned all sorts of lessons. Like, how to exist without destroying their environment, how to look after each other, how to communicate. When the world has all sort of amazing ways of making life and the world better, I'm sure there will be some amazing way of ridding people of the nightmare that is Stats. I'm not sure how, I'm not sure when, but I believe it will happen. Perhaps it will involve squirrels. Millions of squirrels. Maybe they can train all the squirrels to do the stats for us. It could be the equivalent for squirrels of the industrial revolution for people. Squirrels with briefcases.
I really hope that time will come sooner rather than later.

Thankyou!!
Life is full of moaning, grumbling, and general complaining. It is said that people are only happy if they have something to grumble about. People are very quick to say what annoys them, what you've done wrong, what isn't right. We're much less likely to say when something is good.
So let me correct my part in that.
I'm really happy. Durham is lovely, my course is great.
I have some brilliant friends that I know I could depend upon no matter what. No matter what people might think I'm terrible at making friend but by some small miracle I managed to find a group of friends both at Uni and at home that I want to spend as much time as possible with.
My family are wonderful and I love them all.
It's winter, which means lovely crisp days, being able to wrap up warm, and snug, sitting inside curled up watching films and not feeling guilty for not being outdoors. I love winter... after all it contains Christmas!
I have loads of work to do, so how lucky am I that I just love my subject.
Yes I grumble, but thats over silly little things. Sometimes it is important just to look around and remember how everything we have is a gift. Rather than resenting things we don't have.
So thank you, you're all great.

Be Yourself
My Mum has this thing, she always says that she is most proud of me and my brother because we're always ourselves. She says that many people go their whole life not knowing who they are. She thinks that its important to know who you are and to just be that person.
Well parents have the right to think well of their children. They can imagine them to be so much nearer to perfect than they actually are.
But I wonder how wrong she is about me.
To start with I'm not sure that anyone can really know who they are, a personality is such a strange thing. It's this abstract concept, that is really just a culmination of the way are minds work and all our memories. How can you be yourself when who you are changes so rapidly.
But beyond the difficulty of defining who we are, to be yourself you have to have the ability to disregard other peoples views of you. I know that I'm terrible at ignoring what other people think of me. I hate the idea that I annoy people, and yet I know i must do at times. But beyond that, I know how much the idea that other people dislike me upsets me. No one likes to be disliked, and I find it difficult to get passed that. It's the sort of thing that weighs me down.
Maybe what my mum means is not that knowing yourself is not caring what other people thing. But that despite other peoples opinions, and how much they hurt you, you realize that the best you can do is to just be yourself. Yes try to be a better person, but understand that you are who you are, you can't be anything else. Everyone is different, you can't change what you like or don't like or the way you act at times. It's just you. For better or worse.
