End of term

Stale cornflakes really are not pleasant. But once you’ve put milk on them there’s not much you can do but go ahead and carry on eating. There’s a lot of strange stuff you have to eat when it’s the end of term and you don’t like wasting food. Today’s menu: Four crumpets, baked beans, 2 yoghurts, a third of a jar of pesto, 3 oranges, half a pint of milk. Yum yum yum. And then there’s the sorting of the notes into folders from their scattered places around my room and dotted between various notebooks, the finding the right library books and battles with the librarians to take them out a few days early, the washing of clothes, the trying to fit everything into one suitcase. Fun times. And then off on a train at 12.12, pulling into Stockport at 16.25 for family, funerals and friends who I havn’t seen in 18months or more. And then back to Glasgow to sleep.
