We have returned! Still tired but a different tired. A good tired. And sufficiently tanned. We had a really great time. Elaine was a brilliant person to stay with. We went to the beach, saw temples, went to Gozo, shopped in Valletta and ate lots of good mediterranean food! For anyone who missed the Report from Malta email-
"Hail fellow countrymen!
Our campaign in Malta goes well. We landed under cover of dusk. The flight was difficult and perilous but the inflight service was splendid. A lamb was sacrificed to the gods, and in return they provided us with moussaka. Petercles sports his war-hair, a fearsome blond stripe and I, Amberlaus, an awe-inspiring pink quiff. We met quickly with our allies and drove inland to what would be our HQ. Positioned high up it has provided an excellent viewpoint from which to survey the surrounding area. We camped down for the night. The next day we took Ghajn Tuffieha and found very little resistance to our efforts. We renamed it "The Bay Where Troy was Filmed". Today our invasion continued with the taking of Golden Sands. This proved a little more complicated than we had at first believed possible. The battle started early and we were quickly victorius. But they had German and French tribes at their command who proceed to enclose us with their terrible war sun-loungers. It was here I, Amberlaus recieved my first war-wound while battling a deadly Pahrahsole (pron. PA-RA-SOL), but a mere scratch. With our bodies turning brown we escaped, wiser and more experienced.
That is the account of our campaign so far. Tonight, we drink to Dionysus.

Still think i should have been Ambermemnon. Ho-hum. My hair has, due to sea and sun, now turned into neopolitan ice-cream colour. Brown, blonde and pink. Apparently still cool though, good job really cos i can't afford to get it done again quite so soon! However, have just had my rook re-pierced. Ow ow ow ow ow. Must buy ibuprofen and TCP. Ow. We shall see. Drove about 7hrs yesterday to swindon and back with pete helping him move into his new house, all done now. Really nice room. We now going shopping for goldfish!
Am back to work on monday. Really dont wanna go back there, no particular reason just bored now. The canterbury tales are looking for staff, i wanna work there!!! I'll test the water at work, cos honestly, i can get better paid elsewhere and they wont have any problem finding someone to replace me. Must start my extended essay soon. Oh, and i've passed this year. I may continue into final year of uni. Hoorah!
