First day after the deadline!

I know this doesn't really make any sense but I've found a new love for blogging while just sitting my computer like never before! Oh well!
So the deadline's been and gone and what a lovely time it has been! I took my girlfriend Katy into college yesterday when I went to hand my work in, she found the department confusing (as I think we all have at some point or other!). I took her so that I could take her out to lunch afterwards, so that's what we did, at The Clipper Cafe at one-thirty. If any of you have never been to The Clipper, then you really ought to straight away! It's just up Well Lane from Toast, you know where I mean! When you get there you'll be surprised to find a tiny front room with three rather pretty oak tables and a fantastic smiley welcome! For a pound you get probably the largest cup of tea commercially available in Falmouth in essential Cornish Blue mug! It really does feel like you've gone to some long-lost Great-Aunt's house for tea! I had the Clipper Burger for the Princely sum of three pounds. It comes in a large, round ciabatta, lightly toasted with a light garnish of lettuce, tomato and cornichons. You may choose (as I did) to have 'everything on it'. This makes it specially unique with, cheese, bacon and onion marmalade, I can't tell you how delicious it is!
I enquired about Kate's Chorizo baguette and she said it was very good: I can vouch for this as I've had it there before!
Kate takes her time about her food, something that I really must learn one of these days, so I asked permission to order a slice of the proudly displayed cake of the day: A delicious, home-made Victoria Sponge, oh yes, and another mug of tea! I can still taste it now! It was so delicious: light and sweet, with beautifully set clotted cream and fresh strawberry jam. Being washed down with tea as it was made it all the better. Gosh, I wish I could live off that kind of thing! Oh well!
Anyway, dwelling on a delicious lunch won't do for the rest of this entry... The rest of the day was a mix of charity shop shopping (I bought three books from the Oxfam), a trip back up to Woodlane to meet up with Benjamin and preparation to go to Ed's brother's joint birthday party at the Shipwrights at the Chain Locker. I think everyone had a vaguely good night apart from dear Lucy!
Her boyfriend Simon broke up with her and we all took it in turns to comfort her... I have to say that I got quite angry, but managed to settle down before bedtime.
Today was lazy to say the least! I got up just before 12! And set about getting ready for a lazy day! I kept thinking about my beautiful girlfriend at the other end of the hall as a hive of activity working and busying herself with all kinds of wonderful things... I washed my face and got ready to face that rather sheepishly. I padded along the hallway and knocked once lightly on the door and i heard a small rustle and suddenly realised the truth! Katy had been fast asleep and i hadn't even brought her a cup of tea let alone a cup of Lemsip that would have been of more use!
I apologised and offered her that cup of Lemsip and left her to get a bit ready. We had cereal together and decided that we should go to the library and return our current movies (Wizard Of Oz among them!) and get The Sound Of Music to break my virginity!
So there we are, I sit here a Sound Of Music convert and feel all the better for it! God knows what I was so worried about!
I realise now that the next two weeks are going to be a great opportunity to read as much as I can so I'm off to Kate's room to read whilst she does some more work for her printing project. So here I am, sort of relieved that the deadline's past, but then again, sort of not!
