Best weekend of the year so far. Definitely. Quality, enjoyable time with the boyfriend then reunited with uni friends on Saturday and went to the Electric Ballroom, which, although being a slight dive, was thoroughly delightful. Walk on the Thames today - lovely. Taxi home from Stevenage station = not fun. It's an entire two miles (which is two miles too far if you're carrying bags as heavy as I was) but cost a staggering £7.80. Not only did I not have enough money, I was also severely displeased. I told him his meter was taking the piss, and had to run in the house to take money from my mum's purse to pay the bastard. And then I remembered it's a bank holiday and felt less angered. Although South-East England taxi prices truly are diabolical hence why I used to always walk rather than taxi home with a companion, one time involving me very nearly falling into a river and acquiring a life-long scar on my foot from a rather deep cut. Yep, no one but the taxi man is to blame for my calamities.

I have to write (and read ten books for) an essay this week, then go back to Leicester on Saturday: Two things I don't particularly want to do, but once I get on with them will surely not be as bad as I anticipated.
