I've been vaguely threatening to do a write-up for a couple of days now, perhaps it's time I got on with it. I finally unpacked my bags today, too, which made me sad because it's undeniable that the holiday's over. On the other hand, it makes my flat nicer to be in, and I can always think of my next trip away to cheer myself up - not that I know ( Read more... )

Hmmm, updates are way overdue. I got out of the habit of writing because writing has been my work for almost three years now, and on top of that the last year-plus has featured very much internal processing ( Read more... )

It may be true that you can "Change the World By Doing Yoga"; I think I have had my first taste of it today.

For months now, I have had these weird numb patches on my outer thighs. I first noticed them one day when I was cycling, because the patches are somewhat colder than the surrounding leg. And when I say numb, it's not entirely all the way ( Read more... )

We are now scouting around for ways to get me back to London, but of course I'm far from the only person affected, so it's proving difficult. I think we're currently ( Read more... )

1. Ow, head hurts today. I have no idea why. I've tried tea, and food, still no better... is it the change in weather? My head feels like it's going to burst from pressure. Ow.
2. Got my Little Boots parcel today, woohoo! How quick was that? I'm keeping the vinyl in its box, tho. And wearing the t-shirt today, I think :-)
3. I should be using my free ( Read more... )

Things have definitely got better since Thursday:

• Just whacked through the first draft of my next translation in about half an hour flat. BOO-YAAH! It'll need work etc. tomorrow, but first drafts are good things.
• I spent some of my hard-earned Earthling Dollar at Gudrun Sjöden. It's only sale stuff, but eek! it was quite scary! Hopefully, it'll ( Read more... )
