The zoo was SO MAGICALLY AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL. Freezing cold, of course, but MAGICALLY AMAZING. You know what I saw? SNOW MACAQUES. You know what I was reading about immediately before fever dreams of monkeys with knives and face masks? SNOW MACAQUES.

They were looking me in the eyes far too intelligently.

However! I will not type about that just now for two reasons. Firstly, Katie and Derya haven't put their photos online yet. Secondly, the heating is broken. Very, very broken. I am shivering just sat in my room. I think I might decamp back to the kitchen, where at least the oven is on to make us warmer. Heating engineer should be around in an hour, apparently, and if he can't fix it then we're getting bunged in an empty DRA flat for the night.

EXCITING ADVENTURES IN HOUSE 18.

Kitchen, more tea, possibly take my quilt. Brrr.

[eta: oh my God. Heating came back on again at about nine, which was most wonderful, but heating also dies in Fife Park at ten. As such, the house is remaining bloody arctic. The hot water seemed to be making an appearance again as I did the washing up, so I merrily wandered into the shower which then WENT COLD ON ME ABOUT THREE SECONDS IN.

So I'm now sat in my room, with soaking wet hair and this is likely to stay the same all night. I have the ReFreshers Fayre tomorrow, so I was going to have nice clean hair and sleep lots tomorrow morning. Now I will have to get up early and hope there is hot water and possibly something in the way of heating.

Oh well. In the last week, I've been sleeping with a jumper on to keep my chest warm, so at least I'm used to it.

And I just had a conversation through the ceiling with what I thought was Derya and turned out to be Lesley. There was the most horrendous noise seemingly above my head, so I shout up:

"DERYA? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"

Then Lesley tells me she was jumping on the floor, because it bounced. I don't even live under Lesley! Lesley is never in, hence why I assumed it was Derya! OH MY GOD I HATE THIS HOUSE. Roll on September.]

I am bloody skint. Well, I'm not, but if you take away the £400 I need to pay a housing deposit in about a month, then I'm very very skint indeed. Plus I have tutorials late on a Friday and work v. early on a Monday. My weekend time is not as cool as it used to be. (The joy of Scotland - I need to stay two nights pretty much wherever I go, or it isn't worth it.)

However! We will see how Colleen's Magical New Budgeting Ideas go in the next month or so, and then I will see about visiting you and sciving a Monday morning of work and lectures. I would love to visit though! *shakes fist at bank account*

That was Sarah. In my room. I told her not to stomp quite so loudly which she evidently understood as a challenge...! I thought she would actually fall through the floor at several points.
