A nice picture of the Corinthian Canal A super mosaic (In ancient Corinth) We were planning on going to Olympia, but this snow forced us to go back And a picture of the Temple of Zeus at Nemea (of Lion fame)

Hello there. I'm back from Greece. I'm about halfway through writing a big post on it, so hold on to your hats! I'll have a go at posting a few photos for now

In Heathrow at some lovely terminal. I left my wallet in my pocket when I went through the scanner, and got serched (!). Everything's ok though. The plane leaves in 20 mins, so this is hardcore blogging! Delphi on Sunday! Ciao!

I'm off to Greece tomorrow, to expand my clutural horizens. I will be visiting lots of temples, and Corinth (yay - canal!!). Lots of pictures are to be taken, and many will be diglently placed here, on ths mighty organ of knowledge, for your enjoyment. I have lots of new clothes for it, and the weather forcast has chaged from 'a bit dull, and like the UK' to 'quite nice sunshine'. I have no doubt that I will sweat like a pig in my clothes designed for practicality in wet Britain, but the evenings should be fun. Anyway... I started working at M(agic) & S(parkle) (I refer to the company like that, so they don't find the blog. Although I would quite like it if someone read it.) and I's blooming hard. I have to go through EVERY SINGLE ITEM in a particular fridge section checking the sell by date (the company gets a £5,000 fine for each out-of-date itm found on the shelves). Working on the tills is great fun by comparison. I had fun on Wednesday, due to Humphrey having his birthday, and it being Chinese New Year (Ronald's mum&dad considered it significant and sent Humph a red envolope with cash in - v. nice). Anyway - Ciao!

In a bid to get more people (read as any) posting, I am going to repeat a phrase, and hopefully allow this blog to be picked up by Google et al.

Goodness, busy past few days. Job stuff for M(agic) & S(parkle) last night, but, got a nice box of chocs just for going (I suspect psycology stuff at work there), and a trip to Lampeter today for Uni interviews. The anthropology lady was nice (Penny I belive) and we had a good chat, likewise the religion gentleman was friendly, and we had a talk about Karen Armstrong books. Then, I went to have a talk with Rabbi Dan, who's in charge of the Jewish Studies. I found him a bit intimidating, and he was american. He kept on asking so many questions about what I wanted to study in particular, and why I chose to apply and so on. I don't think anthropology and jewish studies is for me (also, only about 4 people do it each year, so not much social life). Food was nice (better than the open day) and the anthro. staff seemed geuinly interested in me going. I feel like I'll get an offer, as I overheard one person say that they would 'be mad not to' give me an offer. Great stuff. Just need to visit the other Unis now.
