I just bought my dad a plane for his birthday. Okay, not a real plane (sadly, community work doesn't pay anything *like* that well), but
a knitted plane. A Lancaster bomber, to be precise. My dad's hugely into WW2 aircraft (I'm more interested in the pilots), and he's going to be 60 this year, so it's (hopefully) going to be a great gift.
I also bought him a little plane to put on his bike - I like having a theme.
In other news - oh my God, I'm such a girl. I slept on my sofa last night because there was a spider running around on my bedroom ceiling and I decided I couldn't deal with spiders at 11.30 at night, but neither could I get into bed knowing it was there. So I left the window open, and it seems to have crawled out in the night. I, on the other hand, am now limping around because I fell off the sofa, which is, unsurprisingly, not as wide as my bed and wrenched my knee. Ow. Serves me right I guess.
In other other news - sunshine! And warmth! And I can't get at it, because I'm stuck at work *on my own* all day. Rewriting the pages for our website, again, in the hope that my boss might actually approve them some time before the next ice age - it's only been 8 months of trying. But she's been on holiday this week, so I'm hoping she'll come back chilled out and persuadable. Probably not, but I live in hope.
So how's everyone doing? Plans for the weekend? Stuck at work and bored? Talk to me, cos I'm definitely the last one!
