Yesterday was a nice day; went to the gym again, did some stuff at home, then made my first ever Avon delivery, hoorah! I also went to the Apple store to sort out my iPod, which broke when I was trying to delete all music and reload - it refused to recognise the iPod, even after wiping it a few times. Of course, it worked fine in the store, tcha! I ( Read more... )

Specifically, I want a t-shirt I saw on a child recently. You know how you get ones again with huge letters on, like the "FRANKIE SAYS RELAX" ones back in the 80s? Well, this one had written on it, in giant blue letters:

GET
OVER
ITIf anyone sees one, please point me at it... or just buy it, size XL for sleeping in or wearing to the gym. Ta ( Read more... )

Saturday came early, I awoke at 7:00 (another exciting day ahead, you see), but decided I definitely couldn't cope with being up yet, and went back to bed for an hour. Then came the Great Gravel Hunt: out in the rain, watching magpies and discovering that gravel isn't as ubiquitous as I imagined. I managed to find enough to cover my galvanised ( Read more... )

I do so love a long weekend... Thursday, as mentioned, was crazy busy, but the evening was good: drinks with vixstar, missyk8, battlekitty and several others; Lindy with altered_state; Full Mooners with squiddity, mr_magicfingers, denari, and flippit. Actually, I lie; Benjy was there for all of it, but we're not counting. Nice sleep-in, and woke up pain-free for the first time in ages; pottered round Camden; and the night ( Read more... )

... let's see now... after the Old Peculier Fun, which was in actual fact meeting up with Ali, Andrew and Col in the Swan near work, and not moving until I'd a) woken up (first pint), b) regained the ability to speak (second pint), c) started singing along to all the songs (third pint), and d) actually felt like a human being again (fourth and ( Read more... )

... especially when it includes going out on a Friday night. I've done LOADS already, and there's a whole more day to go!

So yes, Thursday night I was good and managed to get to bed before midnight. Friday I was alternately looking after a Canadian visitor at work, filling time with proof-reading, and being taken out for lunch. Then pub with vixstar and dakeyras ( Read more... )

Out last night for denari's birthday meal at a Thai place. Nice food and company. By the end, my head was working on developing a cold, so scarpered before most others. The ensuing time had me thinking "WTF??" a lot, but it may have turned out ok... time will tell what that one spawned. The word "wondrous" is lurking just there, also. I really did have ( Read more... )

Right ven, quick run-down:

Friday: strongtrousers's party at the Catcave. Nice. They fed me Black Death, and pepper vodka, which were almost exact opposites, as it turned out.

Saturday: I followed cumbrianheart's advice and STOPPED. This was partly because the plans I'd made didn't work out, so I just stayed on the sofa and monged. And listened to Blue. And pottered. In ( Read more... )

Col is playing me "Blue" now. Excellent!

Quick, let's find clothes to wear....
