and if you're still in London town in the summer it looks like it should be a good one weather wise by the start we've already had. I understand entirely what you mean about not seeing much of it; when we worked in town Simon and i used to go to the park at lunchtime just so we wouldn't feel quite so claustrophobic, stuck in the office for all those hours!! We used to eat our packed lunch and then crash out for an hour! Bliss! But the hard part is having to go back to work afterwards. Still, thing is, you're working towards something so worthwhile, and there will be other opprotunities to be outside. Study is the important thing for you right now. How did your trip go? Your mum told me you were going (was it Egypt?) So lucky, what a wonderful opportunity. You gotta do these thing while you're young and have no commitments (goodness, i sound like a pensioner!) but you get the point....
