I am posting
Mainly so that people can see the new photo I loaded up ages ago and haven't got around to writing anything since.
Today is mostly good. Work is going well - surprisingly. I may be going on a course which will give me an in-depth theoretical insight into advanced effective interpersonal communications. I plan to use it to write a better IC newspaper. (This amuses me.) Of course since it is purely theoretical all it will qualify me to do is theorise about it...
I finished nattydreadi's costume at 1.30 last night. I still swear he told me NWO was next year. I think I have not done badly in rustling something up in 8 days with the Gathering in the middle - it's not perfect but then if he wanted it perfect he could pay £150 squiddles for it rather than the slightly more modest £60 squiddles I will be charging him (to cover material - without giving too much away, real cotton velvet and real pure silk were involved).
His Bubbles has a thing about waking up at 4am at the moment. I am unimpressed that he has decided to do this in advance of Matt going away. I will be babysitting all weekend - oh joy - I do love him but he is a pain in the arse. Yes, that does apply to both of them. However, The Boy did behave himself for Matt's parents and sister when they had him variously over the G, so we will currently forgive him anything.
The G went well. I shan't do a long and involved post, suffice to say I enjoyed the event but delvy behaved like a crapbag and is firmly in the doghouse. The buggering off to NWO this weekend didn't help either but I accept that we've paid lots of money for it already and the refs have put lots of effort in too. I put my foot down about Maelstrom though - sorry to those of you who go, but tough crap. If one of you wants to give up your weekend to babysit then Matt can go. (Note also I would have to a) like and b) trust the individual involved since we are now clearly only going to have one child - well unless that hasty "rusty knife" vasectomy can be reversed but I think once it's gone green it's too late).
Anyway. IC I had fun and it is all - amusing. But then - you've got to laugh, really, haven't you? Driving up with nattydreadi was the most fun I have had in ages even if he did have to forcibly evict me from the shower to make me leave.
Right, well, that's the last three weeks in five minutes, time to go wee and then leave, get The Boy, go home... And the rest. Hugs.
