Got hold of Eric Taylor's latest album: 'Hollywood Pocketknife' this weekend. It's great stuff. It takes concentration - you have to give it your all to fall in love, but it's worth it. It's really got substance. It's real, if you know what I mean?

Went home on Saturday night. Had a great meal at a new Thai restaurant in Blackpool: Wah Wah's. It's a really good place, if you're unfortunate enough to be looking for somewhere to eat in Blackpool. I had Pad Thai, it was really different from any Pad Thai I've had before - it had a thick base sauce, but it really worked. Chris hoovered up everyone's left overs, he loves hot food, but he said mine was a contender for best dish, with his Thai Green Curry. Went to Scrooges and The Blue Room afterwards. The only places worth the time of day in Blackpool, but they are well worth it - institutions of our youth.

I've developed sleeping sickness lately. I think it's the the weather - it's cold and dark all the time. Plus, my head's out of here - I'm ready to leave uni and move away. Started sleeping 11 - 12 hours when I have my way, then I've slept so long I'm still tired!

Have to find out about immunisations today. It's looking like we might end up in Egypt at Christmas, so we're going to get the immunisations ready for the possibility.

Petrol here has surpassed the £1 a litre mark. Crazy stuff. 60% of that is tax. Low income families are spending 1/3 of their income on petrol, and that's essential petrol - to get to work, and to get the shopping, to keep the country's economy afloat. Gordon Brown talks crap, about how we've got to talk tough to Iran. Gets me so angry. Let's talk to tough to Iran, like we do to Iraq and Afganistan, hey?
