I’d love to say that I’ve been hugely busy, or that I’ve had lots of other massively important things to be doing instead of writing<\/a> for here. But it wouldn’t be true.<\/p>\n

This month seems to have flown by without me really contributing much to it. Let’s see what I have actually achieved this June…
\nWell, the month started on a Tuesday with me in a panic – believing that I was going to fail my forthcoming exams – and also trying to complete my History of Maths essay based upon the Fibonacci Series<\/a> and their influence in art, architecture and nature. A subject that I found completely absorbing and very fascinating once I managed to prise my way into it.<\/p>\n

What else… well, on the 6th (a Sunday) I was to be found in York’s Grand Opera House<\/a> watching Ken Dodd<\/a>‘s Happiness Show, a present for my 21st birthday earlier this year. I must admit it was very funny and had a wonderful time.<\/p>\n

Then came the barrage of exams. Four in four days. No idea how they went yet as results are to follow.<\/p>\n

Thursday the 10th brought the highlight of the year so far though. Not only was it the last day of exams, but there I was in the evening being part of the wonderful event in the Sheffield Leadmill that was part of The Divine Comedy<\/a>‘s trio tour. Words cannot describe how wonderful the atmosphere was or how amazing some of their old songs are when played in a light jazz<\/a> style! The line-up featured Neil Hannon<\/a>, a cellist and a pianist<\/a> – a very versatile set of musicians that managed to recreate some of the lesser known songs by the group admirably, including Sweden and My Lovely Horse<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, the week after that had a couple of maths deadlines to adhere to, so those days were mainly filled with maths and much head banging…<\/p>\n

Since that last deadline on the 21st, well, there’s been a lot of overtime available at work, meaning that today was the first day in awhile where I haven’t had something to do and even then I’ve spent most of the day shopping for things for a small expedition I’m toddling to in a couple of weekends time… More on that later.<\/p>\n
