Boooo!

The weather forecast on the internet says it's going to rain a lot during our holiday. That really sucks. Ne volim kiša! And I really should have spent more time learning Croatian, because I'm never going to dare speak to anyone with it this bad!

And apparently, Hull is the worst place in the UK to live. Got this from Yahoo news:

"A TV show has named Hull as the worst place to live in the UK.

The Channel 4 show based its rankings on statistics in five categories - crime, education, employment, environment and lifestyle - from all 434 local authorities in the UK.

Hull earned the title of worst place to live partly thanks to its high crime rate. Researchers said there were approximately 69 crimes a day and nearly three each hour in the northern city.

With 101 chip shops, Hull is said to be the fattest town in Britain.

In terms of education, it also ranked worst of all the local authorities, with only 35.1 per cent of its 16-year-olds getting five or more A*-C GCSE's."

Well, it's nice to be notable for something, I guess. And it's been a while since we got the no.1 spot in "Crap Towns", I think the prestige was beginning to wear off.

At some point today, I'm going to have to start packing. We're leaving on Friday morning, but at some ridiculous time like 4am, so there will be no time for last minute anything. I have this whole plan involving getting up early tomorrow, doing something to tire myself out all day, going to bed early and therefore not being too sleep deprived. I think it would be a bit stupid to feel jet lagged when we are going somewhere with a one hour time difference! So I was originally planning to go in town, because I always find that exhausting. I have to go to the library (stuff has become overdue again) and the fact that I am avoiding busses now means I'll be going on my bike, so it will be even more tiring. But I really can't be bothered going. I can always just take the books back when I get home and pay a slightly bigger fine. That way I could pack tomorrow instead of today, and spend today doing nothing (again).

In case you haven't guessed, I'm going through a lazy phase at the moment!

Nah, I should probably stick to the original plan.

I wonder if season 3 of Forever Knight will ever be released on DVD. I really want to see it again, and it's, like, so much effort to look through my video cupboard.
