I went to go outdoors and bought the merlin 3. I tried to put it up on Sunday bit it was much too hot. I was just sliding poles through holes and the sweat was dripping off my nose! I think that this tent is more of a two person job, although the heat did put me off. I managed the smaller one by myself... but still, i hopefully should be able to get help from Lindsay and co to take one end of the tent, me the other and pull!
<>PI am so fat, today i feel like a huge round blob. But i can't stop eating. It hurts, and i hurt. Honestly, if i could have my jaws wired shut, i would.

Have to go and feed mums cat, then my own and the 100 words! I am on track, although am running out of things to write, and am about half way through.

Speaking of OU, i "only" got 70 for my last tma. It wasn't the best i have written, but 70 is a good score, and i think will land me a comfortable grade 2(2:1) if i don't mess up the exam. Last year it was a close call...

Anyway, but to more interesting stuff. At go outdoors i caved and bought a suitcase style stove. I'm pleased with it. I can use that for things that require a much hotter temperature, and the eurohike for simmering. It got very hot very quickly, and i fried some sausages and an egg nicely. I think it's much too powerful for a gentle simmer though, i was frying on almost the lowest mark on the scale! I also got a rubber mallet, and peg puller and an igniter. I was very pleased with all of those. I just need a water carrier and a table now i think.

The only thing that i'm really missing is a way to keep food cool. It's not a campsite, so no way of getting frozen packs to put in a cooler...
