Independence FROM America

4th of July. Never done anything foir it before, except protest at American airbases and spy stations in the UK. This time though we have American friends, so we 'celebrated' with them.

The guys (Kristin, Jorge and Ben) came round to ours for food and drinks. We'd made Jorge and Kristin tacky bookmarks, 4th of July themed, with the pledge of allegence on the back.

Now it's Thursday, and being the 5th, pay-day. Which means we've got money to pay out. Debts to repay, tickets to Japan and a deposit on our hotel room for the Mud Festival. Looking forward to the Mud Festival, on the weekend of the 21st (I think). There is about 10 of us heading down there for the weekend. It should be a good laugh.
