Older and stupider…

Last week I celebrated my birthday - I'm officially a twenty-something now! I look back at my visions of myself I had when I was 13 about where I'd be - married, with a big house and children. Now I realise the married and children bit is what I want for my 30s, but the big house would be nice.

I decided to celebrate my birthday with a trip to Manchester to do some shopping and some partying. I didn't buy much of interest but I did have a fabulous night on Canal street with friends.

I'm in the middle of moving house at the moment. I've been staying with my parents since May and I was really missing my independence. I also have enough stuff to fill my own house which I've accumulated since I moved out of home at 18. I'm sharing a house a few miles from my parent’s house that has the most amazing view. Last night I laid out on the couch and read 'The Hours' with an amazing the Cambrian mountains before me and the birds singing (idyllic isn't it!)

I've spent a large part of my day on the History Matters page writing my blog for the 1 day in history event. All the blogs will be stored and accessible to future generations via the British Library. I've been reading other peoples blogs with fascination. People generally do the same thing (get up, go to work...) but each life is so different. I think it comes down to what people write about, we all choose different little things that we think people will want to read about, perhaps the people of the future won’t give us a second thought!
