Last night, me, Nick, Tom and Saranne went round to Marie's for a pizza party. She was holding it for two of her friends, Tomiko and Emi, who'd just returned to Japan from Montana. Her friend Nariko was also there. It was great fun - all of Marie's friends are really nice, and the pizza was delicious. And then, Marie brought out a watermelon :) I've never had watermelon before. It was DELICIOUS! I'm gonna have to buy one some time...

And then today, Sabine, Ellie, Saranne and myself all went for a Ladies' Lunch (no guys!) at Morricone, the really nice Italian cafe. Due to some confusion over the meal, Ellie and I ended up having two desserts :) Great stuff. But most exciting of all, the cafe has a bowl of axolotl (those salamanders that never grow up) at the counter. They were GORGEOUS. Perhaps I'll get one as a pet some day...



Isn't it beautiful?

After that, we all went shopping - it was a Ladies' Lunch after all :)

And in not too long, I'm off to the Sligo Inn to see the Irish band, and participate in the Aeon's students' party! Busy busy busy...
