Okay, back again! To summarise:

• I hardly posted over summer and I forgot to mention it earlier, and this is mostly because I did absolutely nothing! Well, except for a bit of dissertation reading and seeing friends a few times (including a Harry Potter marathon, which for some reason we didn't take any pictures of despite the great seats, enormous TV and excess snackage)
• It has been super warm recently as you have probably all noticed, so on the Saturday just gone we went on an impromptu trip to the seaside! We went to Weston-Super-Mare, which is just over an hour away from where we live, and though the beach was a little wet (well, I don't think I saw even a tiny bit of dry sand) and the tide was really far out, it was a nice day out.

It looks like I only have one leg, but I can assure you I have two.

• I promise there is a 4th housemate but she was usually taking the photos herself, and I couldn't find any good ones (yes, including the black circles granting us something like anonymity... not sure how well that works) of all 4 of us. You only really want to see me anyway, right?
• As for heroic actions earlier, on our way back from Tesco earlier, R and I passed this old(er) lady hobbling quite slowly down the road, with non-matching shoes on (though eventually she took one off). We went past her at first but then R suggested we go back and ask her if she was okay because she didn't look too good, and so we did. She said no, but (luckily?) there was a police car in the line of traffic on the opposite side of the road and she asked us to call them over. We did so and eventually one of the officers got out, and for some reason the lady asked us if we were Polish! Obviously we're not, and she seemed surprised and said "Well that's nice" (apparently English people aren't helpful) and thanked us. Once the officer got over to us, he asked her if she was alright and she shook her head and started crying. We were kind of worried about how she was going to get on/what was wrong, but the officer gave us a thumbs up (???) and told us we could go, so off we went. Heroic action for the day! We think that if the police car hadn't conveniently been across the road we might have had to call for one, or maybe even an ambulance. I can't help but give R most of the credit but she assures me that if I wasn't there she would have kept going... She might be trying to make me feel better but I Was There.
• When we got back I succesfully cooked pasta and Quorn meatballs with tomato and basil sauce. Chocolate pop tart for dessert. They're pretty basic but Tesco has also restarted selling Reese's peanut butter cups. Hallelujah!
• I think that's about it!
