This is a photo post from the last... Two? Three? Four weeks? Something like that. Needless to say perhaps this is a graphics heavy post. And warning for any expats who are pining for Torquay, this post might induce Missing England Feelings ;p

There's stuff about Olympics, friends visiting and Skyler's folks' two week visit to the UK.

For the last half of the last day we went on a walking tour of London around Tower Gateway and then to a pub on Chancery Lane for dinner and drinks. I was reminded that I'm still really not a beer guy.
We said bye to them last night and then they went home this morning with Delta to Atlanta. All in all, it was a pretty successful visit and according to Skyler went about as well as he could possibly have hoped, which is good.
Maybe the next time we see them will be Christmas in Georgia, but we'll see.
In the meantime, the start of the new academic term is in the next few weeks. I have student union training on September 10th, Freshers' Week is a week after that, week after that I start work proper. I need to plan and finalise events for the year, and work my ass off in terms of making my face more known for the SU elections in the new year. And we have the NUS #demo2012 in November to prepare and mobilise students for. And of course I have my dissertation which I didn't do as much reading for over the holiday as I'd hoped. Actually, I've had several months of doing very little and I can't feel very guilty about that.
This year is going to be a doozy :')
