Waiting for the long reign of winter to be over, having forgotten the long reign of last year. I saw this on my walk to the post office (amongst other things I take the post at the end of the "office" day, before the theatre day has really begun). Blossom in the light of the neon.

There's crocuses too, purple ones, edging their way up out of the ( Read more... )

Right, so the past few comments on my LJ have been spambots, which makes me feel like I've been a bit of a stranger to LJ land. Part of the reason is that I've moved a lot of my Feminist Ranting over to http://www.badreputation.org.uk/ plus I tend to use up my quoto of "and another ( Read more... )

I had an awesome birthday on Saturday. There was a particularly lovely moment where, stood in the middle of  a packed-out curry house (mental apologies to the one other set of people eating there that night) looking at my amazing friends (old, new and inbetween) and I felt very loved and cared for.

It was exactly what I needed, good company and ( Read more... )

I am a woman on a mission. The mission is to get my life back the way that it was over Summer only better. Many things have improved and many things have fallen out of cupboards since then, including moving house (stressful and there are still umpteen little jobs that neither kangeiko  nor I actually have the time to do), being ill, getting a new chap, ( Read more... )

• There is football on, this means I am bored and annoyed. Bored because no-one else is in the office, or answering emails or phonecalls. Annoyed because I am and because I find football generally annoying.
• Doing Hair took an entire 15 minutes of my life this morning. Thoughts of shaving it all off have been back-burnered because Summer = burnt head ( Read more... )

On Saturday night I cooked dinner for someone, then there was silly dancing and proper kisses.
*happy*

Of course, after a weekend of it totally bucketing it down it is now blue skied and sunny of a Monday afternoon. Still bloody freezing. The office heating is left off over the weekend (very sensible financial and environmental precaution) and takes a good run up and a downhill dash to become even tepid before 4pm.

Went to a meet-up on Friday with tyrell ( Read more... )

Bear with me on this. For the past few days there has been a strange smell in the office. A sharp tang that only I could smell. I took this, naturally, as signs of oncoming dementia or as a curious stress reaction. No-one else believed me. But each day, it was there, acrid and unpleasant, a little like pear drops ( Read more... )

Work 7/10 Work is keeping me afloat. By afloat, I mean running around like an idiot, because as of today, I now have four jobs for the price of one. I'm still doing my actual job, plus providing cover for the theatre, managing the offsite project (come and see it, it's ace!) and my boss has gone on holiday so I am also technically him for the next ( Read more... )

Seriously. I must have done. Because it's now October and things have gone very far, very fast. I sometimes wish there were a remote control for life that gave you the option to press pause (or even rewind and do again). Anyway, so that was September, it was very hectic and seemed to pass by in a flash - during which time I am now a qualified First ( Read more... )
