A day out.

Oh no, look what I did - shock, gasp, horror - I missed a day of blogging despite my casual and frequent resorting to cheating I still wasn't able to sneak one in under the line yesterday. I came back to Coventry for the weekend to get some documents I need to apply for Coventry University next year - despite their best efforts I still fancy doing a masters in my home city, I am eschewing political matters for a wee while and taking a different direction. That's if I get accepted onto the programme, of course - I might have to eschew my own words if I don't.

But anyway - yesterday we went to Leeds to visit my brother - mainly because that's where he lives. We had a look round his new house, which is far too good for him, and had a bite to eat in one of Leeds' many non-famous eateries.

I'm not really a fan of Leeds, everything I've seen of it screams dumpy hellhole, but there must be an attraction somewhere. If I'm honest, I don't really like the North - it's not because I'm racist, it's notably colder, damper and more industrial up that way and I prefer a more genteel, green way of life. I don't want to die at 35 from inhaling coal dust, for instance. Actually that's a bit naughty, I shouldn't say that - you're more likely to die at 35 from all the passive smoking at the bus stop.
