After posting about how some people wrongly assume that Adrian is my Sugar Daddy, last night I couldn't help but notice the Gay section in the lonely hearts columns in Time Out!

A scrunched up £10 note found in my pocket brought back a flood of memories.

I was telling Adrian the other day how, at times, I have partial recollections of a face or an event, but cannot place it correctly and I'm not even sure whether it is a true memory or part of a dream, or of what I feel could be a parallel reality.

Apparently today it's the most depressing day of the year.
Bills from Christmas to pay, pay day still another 10 days away, it's winter and dark, and this year we are also blessed with the credit crunch.

The temptations are endless....
- add another £360 and could get a return Orient Express ticket to Venice (sorry Honey but money doesn't stretch to 2 tickets)
- return World Traveller Plus tickets to San Francisco for the 2 of us

How are a very loud banging noise at home this morning, Tucson, AZ and a toothache related?

Well the noise came from the boiler in the kitchen (it happened before but this morning was much louder). it was so bad that we had the boiler checked.
Apparently it's due to a build up of scale but the boiler is around 15 years old and, according to the ( Read more... )
