I spent my weekend away from Loughborough - took a two and a half hour train ride to Manchester to be with Adeline on the eve of her birthday with a freshly baked cake in hand. Ades and her 'welcoming committtee' were waiting for me when I stepped out of the station doors, it was sweet. All they were missing was a sign that said "YASMIN PATERA" - oh well boys, it's the thought that counts. :-)

Happy birthday my darling girlfriend. You're beautiful, and you grow more beautiful each and every day. I love you. xx

We had dinner at Frankie's and Benny's (did I get it right?), I suffered from bad stomache cramps, probably from yesterday's dinner. Took a bus ride to Ades' hall and waited for midnight to arrive :-) We went on the Manchester eye, you can't see much from the photo I've got above.. it's blurry and it was night time.

I don't have a camera anymore so I don't really know what to do with myself. In fact, there might not be as many pictures for me to upload as before, since the camera doesn't work. The lens has become stuck inside - I suppose it's actually time to get a new camera. I'm looking at sony cybershots but more likely a thinner camera this time round so it'd actually fit my purse with ease. I'm thinking either a black or pink one. We'll see.

Oh, Summer Games updates.. spaces filling up fast. Just under three weeks to go til the deadline! =)
