prime location...

It would seem that our street is a prime choice for filming various escapades...item number 1: filming for the mini cooper advert. Ours is quite a quiet street, so to hear a huge cacophony outside - screaming girls, music blarring and all that jazz, in the middle of the day, I was somewhat curious as to what was going on. So I was rather surprised when I looked out the window to see a couple of incredibly scantilly clad ladies - dressed like ladies in a brazilian dancers with head plumes and everything - closely followed by the police. My immediate reaction was, 'Why on earth aren't the police doing something about that awful racket and the fact that these women are indecently exposed??!!' Only to realize that the police were protecting them!!! They were filming a 'mini adventure' outside our house!! How very exciting...

item number 2: This week, I came home to find a BMW parked in our drive - a curious sight at a student house. Well, the owner of the Bee-mer was a man working for the BBC and round the back of our house was a film crew, filming some programme about self-sufficiency!!! Cool beans.

Last week was one of great productivity, spending all day every day in the library aven m' amie Hannah. I thought I might go slightly stir-fry crazy spending so much time in the library, but I found the secret to avoiding this is a whole lot of laughter. Hannah is perhaps the funniest person I know, and pretty much all the time we weren't working, we were laughing. This was fine as we were in a study room in the library where you are allowed to talk, although we got kicked out of one of them as a group of physicists' had booked it. This made laughing a whole lot harder, as we had to stifle our laughter, which just made us cry and laugh even more. What fun.
