Parental visit

My parents came up to visit yesterday, which was nice since it was the first time they had done so in the three years I've been at uni (previously the onus has been on me going to see them). It's interesting how they never thought of paying a visit in previous years, yet they do within six months of my sister movinig to uni, but I guess that's just as well given the shithole I was living in last year. It was also the first time they've seen the place in which I'm currently living on campus, and I think they were vaguely impressed, so staying up till 3am the previous night to tidy the place was (arguably) worthwile.

Went to the Bullring, although looking back on it I don't think we came out having bought anything as far as I can remember. I certainly came back with my hands empty, but having never previously been to the Bullring I would still say it was an afternoon well spent. Got to stuff myself with food twice in one day at the expense of my dad's wallet – that certainlly doesn't happen too often these days so I made sure the opportunity wasn't wasted!

All in all a rather pleasant day out, despite the cold weather and the fact we were in Birmingham. Smiles all around.
