2. I like the new fruju sorbet iceblocks
3. I’m going to America on the 28th for a month

5. In exactly nine days, the thesis will go to the binders and I can forget about it
6. I feel like pizza for tea, but also have perfectly good leftovers which I should (and probably will) eat instead
7. DH has grown a beard. I like the look but don’t like kissing him as much now!
8. I’m sunburnt
9. I grew cherry tomatoes (lots of different kinds) from seed this year, and now we’ve got buckets of them.

17. I want a poodle, but haven’t talked DH into it yet
18. I enjoy baking, and love decorating cakes (but am not really good enough to do anything other than the odd one for friends / family / people at church)
19. I’m a morning person - my brain switches off at about 8.30pm
20. I talk in my sleep. I have conversations with DH (apparently)
21. I went to school with DH and didn’t like him
