Snowy Peaks

Well, today Tuesday, I awoke to see snow up on black mountain; weird or what for October ?
Went to the mountains of Mourne at the weekend with some students from Queen's, however the weather was really bad; rain and driving winds. Some hill walking was done and that was about it!! This morning, on going for a fry (cooked breakfast) in a cafe in Botanic the girl there was rude and I had to ask her did she get out of the wrong side of bed this morning. "No" she curtley answered ;very cross young woman so I paid up and left. The famous Belfast poet Michael Longley will be taking the creative writers group at Queen's tomorrow afternoon which will be good; I met him before and he is a very congenial warm person with a mighty handshake and laugh. BBC N.I have put a couple of poems on their Get Writing website, which is great to get my work out there !

New Academic Year Commences!

Haven't been on my blog for a while due to the fact I was working and that. Well things have changed in the student house, more new people have arrived and have moved in. Most seem well mannered and sociable something last years residents were definitely not. Now I know that there were bunch of odd bods last year who were, lazy, dirty and unfriendly. Today a german girl Christine made brownies and offered me one, it wasn't too bad to be honest. Sammy the fella from the Isle Of Man is generally good craic and never gives his tongue a chance, i.e. he is always conversing. The American girl Mellisa is well mannered but seems quiet to me and maybe a little shy, but it is her first time here in Belfast and a long way from San Francisco. Luke the fella from London has just moved in but seems well mannered also. Tomorrow I recommence my degree after the summer break, looking forward to the readings etc.. Must say here in my blog this Summer was one of the worst I have ever beared witnessed to, it was wet day after day. Rain fell straight down continuously. But these past few days the sun shone !!! happy days :)
