Back from the seaside

by blayka @ 27/06/2008 – 10:27:46

A full report from our short, girls-only holiday will be submitted by Deana24 (pictures included, I was told).

Nevertheless, I feel compelled to report on the following:

- skinny dipping in broad daylight can prove quite challenging

- an unidentified hedgehog appeared out of nowhere. A full investigation by ~~my hubby and son, disguised in military fatigues and camouflage face paint~~ a highly trained SWAT team is pending.

- Hedgehogs could (and do) sometimes wear bread dough as superhero capes

- Nothing makes your holiday more memorable than finding out you (and two of your best mates) have successfully passed your MA.

- Contrary to my expectations, MA status does not interfere with getting seriously drunk. Repeatedly.

This concludes today’s report. Stay with us as Deana24 discovers all there is to know about disembowelling fish.

Yours sincerely,

Blayka, MA

Yippee!!!

Dances all around the blogosphere with great delight and turns the occasional cartwheel... (something I'm prone to wanting to do in moments of great excitement, and, um, actually can't so... but I'm quite capable of excited virtual cartwheels.)

Congratulations.

Qualifications and boozing are most certainly not mutally exclusive! Congratuklations to whomever got the MA's.

  What is more, I suspect they (qualifications and boozing) might be in a positive correlation: more qualifications, more boozing. I've certainly been drinking more wine as an MA than I ever did as a BA.

does MA stand for something - like Mard Arse, or Maniac Athlete - we need to be told!

(but well done anyway!)

  Yes, she is a naughty little devil! I do hope she exercises some self-restraint when she posts the pictures: I would like to preserve at least a shred of my dignity.

hello! and welcome back and very well done indeed for getting your MA which I think should probably stand for More Appreciated :¬)

  I would ~~never in a million years~~ love to share with you the pictorial documentation of the holiday, but I am unfortunately not at liberty to do so (read: I was too lazy to even bring my own camera).
  
  So I am left at the mercy of Deana's new camera and her ability to make me look beautiful. I hope she has ~~magic powers~~ done well. Let us wait and see.

was the hedgehog involved in all the drunken skinny-dipping or did he help you get your MA? how confusing but lovely to see you again!

  I know, it's all very confusing. It made sense at the time, though.

A belated congratulations! It sounds like you had a fantastic time, despite the hedgehog!

Enjoy your graduation ceremony!
