(I had wanted to make my post about visiting Greenwich with alilacia  first, but for some reason the photos are taking forever to upload and I'll be old before they do - so that'll be at some point in the future. Suffice to say it was awesome and she is awesome :D)

So, I set off for the cottage at 8am this morning, and made it to Torcross by 1.30pm. I'd ( Read more... )

I just had a text from Will Turner.

This is never going to get old :D (well, not for me, but probably for everyone else pretty quickly ;) *g*)

So, I had planned on having ballincollig and danglingdingle come and stay with me over my birthday weekend. However, because the Icelandic volcano broke the sky over Europe, sadly they can't come :( Happily, alilacia is still coming to see me on Thursday, and on Friday we'll take a trip over to the Maritime Museum at Greenwich :)

But, to cheer myself up and because I've got some ( Read more... )

THIS is one of the songs I like to listen to ;D Last night I was stuck in traffic for nearly three hours. When you consider this is my regular journey home from work and normally takes 1 1/2 hours... AND it's only 22 miles, then it becomes annoying. Stupid Easter holiday traffic!

Firstly, thank you so much to alilacia, jackieville and poetic_self  for my lovely balloons! They've been a delightful reminder to keep my heart light :)

Secondly, courtesy no doubt of the dear muses, this morning I arrived at the factory, opened my mouth to say something to the lady who had driven me there, paused, and instead what came out was, "I think it's going to snow ( Read more... )

Good old RL has kept me even busier than usual of late. I've been spending hours prepping for my driving test, and the time I haven't been doing that, I've been worrying about it XD

So, I just got back, and  OMFG, I PASSED!!!

So, yeah, all of you that I've been threatening to drive around when you come and stay, make sure you pack a safety helmet ;D ( Read more... )

( Urgh! Annoying! )

As I was idly browsing through the book section of Ebay this lunchtime, I suddenly stumbled across this. Is this another one of the clan, I wonder?

And yeah, I am very tempted to get it. If I haven't ranted to you about 'pirate stew', which me and my flatmate have been perfecting for several years now, and trying to make as 'authentic' as possible, ( Read more... )

This morning, I strode into the design room upon arriving at work, and within the space of five minutes managed to commit an Epic Fail of epically epic proportions. There was a dress hanging on the end of my friend's work rail (filled with other dresses) It was a very pretty design in silk chiffon, but in a shade I particularly dislike and can only ( Read more... )

I sort of wish I could go back a week or two and tell myself then that everything would be ok, because HOLY CRAP, it's been a bit of a ride.
