The happier stuff in life, then.

Last Saturday I (aided by Virgin trains, whose fancy trains apparently can still induce motion sickness that stops you from ultimately finishing your latest chapter when you're SO CLOSE) got myself down to London again. It's been too long and I'm actually going to miss the place now. Even Orpington, I'm going to miss ( Read more... )

Well, for what it's worth, an update on things. I've got down here on Saturday (by the National Express again, two whole years since I last used 'em. And ON TIME now) in one piece and have remained so ever since. I did indeed see the play tonight. And second-rowed, which doesn't have the complete kick as frontrowing but a good view nonetheless.

Yes, I shall now scrabble around desperately on the floor (I lost my dignity a long time ago sirs)  in an attempt to bring you a public post with a free ray of sunshine!

The gas pipes did indeed get fixed in the end. Called out some bloke who actually knew what he was doing, and was as much London as a human being can physically be. "See, whut they ( Read more... )

Am attempting to make TEH BIRFDAI PLANZ. I say plans, probably won't be anything exciting (although after last year's plan of, oh yes, falling asleep, anything will be, I suppose). Will probably go and see Hairspray on the main day, I think, and a shopping session is overdue. Very girly. And I would very much like to see Alex again, but [insert ( Read more... )

 Wow, I've just watched 75 minutes of brilliance. That was the first night of Alex, and if that's at its rawest, well, there's a treat in store. Amazing. My lack of business knowledge skillz didn't matter one bit, either.

More later for my flist, but if someone could hand me a tool to scrape the rest of my jaw off the floor...

The 18th of April. Oh wow. This was a Very Speshul Day last year and always will be (HAI JAMES). I finally stopped waiting for someone to take me to London and just took myself, I finally met

Hmm, don't know what happened there. I was meant to update the other night. I was drinking some Cava, watching the football, and... well apparently I forgot.

Football, yes. "Did it go into the audience then?.....Crowd. I meant crowd. Obviously." demonstrates that I'll never blend seamlessly into the world of the sportsfan, but hey I try ( Read more... )

So, yes. For all those wondering (LOL, not many) where I've been, I went back Dahn Sarf on Sunday to stay at Craig's house in Kent. Didn't do much that day, because on Monday I did something rather special. I was at the BBC Broadcasting House with the cast, writer and producer of one of my favourite sitcoms ever, Joking Apart. We went touristing on ( Read more... )
