All night exam party!

Yes, we are back with another exciting post! Hold on to your toupees! Since we last wrote there have been some unbelievably exciting developments!

Mike, the ultimate college kid, has reached the end of a long and challenging climb up the mountain called "first year architecture". As if the year hadn't had enough dramatic twists and turns, as he rounded the corner into his final week, he decided to increase the intensity - 100%! - and pulled an all nighter in the University Library. Everyone was confident that he had the stamina to last the entire 37 hours, and hand in a finished portfolio of projects to his expectant tutors. The daytime was fine, the University was busy but Mike allowed no distractions - he was completely focused and single minded. But as the hours wore on, they told a different story. With only the night security guard and a couple of spotty goof balls for company, Mike knew there was only one person he could call at 2.45am. He dialled Michelle's number, but hadn't got the energy to speak - only a desperate wheezing sound escaped his lips. Michelle, presuming it was her stalker, turned over and went back to sleep.

Without the aid of caffeine or alcohol, Mike went the distance and victoriously beat the record for the most down to the wire hand in, in Huddersfield University history! Completing more course work in a single solid shift than any of his predicessors had dared dream, he said of his triumphant record breaking moment - "bur,bur, buhhhh - "! before crashing onto the floor falling immediately to sleep! WELL DONE MIKE - CONGRATS ON FINISHING YOUR FIRST YEAR! YOU ARE BRILLIANT! ONLY 6 MORE TO GO!!! XXXX

The first ever Richey blog from England

We've talked about it, we've thought about it, we've procrastinated, and now we're finally out of excuses. A lot has happened to us since last July, and we have decided to inflict atleast some of our news upon YOU! Glad you're here, it means someone's logged on and deemed us news worthy.

Well, an update for those of you who don't know where we are - we live in my Sister's attic in the village of Micklefield. Our most valuable earthly possesion is our little blue Ford KA, which we would be sleeping in if my sister Claire and her husband hadn't been so generous. We are both students here in the "Nerth" of England- although Michelle will soon be gladly venturing out into the world of work again. If anyone has any ideas on what she might be good at - do drop her a line!

We will be posting some albums when we figure out how to do it, to let you have a gander at some of our great adventures, and will try to keep this updated fairly regularly.

Thanks for being our friends. And if your not our friends, and you've found this by accident - it's a bit creepy that you got this far- you can leave now.

Adieu loved ones!

Mike and Michelle
