ok, well i've done this for the past four years running and i'm not one to break with tradition so here goes:

i'm moving house!! well, i know the past couple of entries have implied this fact since i doubt anyone could live with their ex-girlfriend in a one bedroom flat forever, but now i actually have somewhere concrete to move to which makes life much less stressful, exciting and a wee bit scary ( Read more... )

in the spirit of Thanksgiving (and not at all because hiddenshallows managed to get an 8.5kg (18.5lb i think) giant organic frozen bird for £5) we decided to roast a turkey last week. this was a new experience for me as the biggest thing i've cooked up until Thursday was a duck. a small duck. turkeys are BIG. after consulting Delia, i slathered vegan margarine ( ( Read more... )

i'm on my own on a night shift at work on the ninth floor of my building, and there have been two power cuts so far tonight since i've been here.

i know there's no rational reason to be afraid of the dark, but it's creepy enough being alone in a giant building with the lights on and i don't need the extra adrenaline!

a bit of a Harry Potter themed weekend, as whilst i was at work yesterday discovering Dumbledore's sexuality, my lady hiddenshallows was at a fancy dress Halloween party. she went as a female Death Eater, and won the coveted 'Most Sexy' award for her efforts! i'm so proud of her! she'd actually spent hours and hours cutting, pinning and tacking a hooded black ( Read more... )

how did it get to be a third of the way through October already? i don't like how time goes differently when you're not measuring it in academic years. i think i need to have some children, so i can start saying goodness me it's almost half-term, rather than thinking about the run-up to bonfire night, Christmas and New Year (my local Sainsburys ( Read more... )

ok i'm determined to get a post in before the end of August, particularly since we've ordered some new broadband internets for our flat. they're being delivered in a week or so. i'm not sure how these things work, whether it's something coming in the post or a man coming to screw things into the wall, or a disc arriving to put things on my computer ( Read more... )

hiddenshallows and i moved into our new flat on 15th June. it's been absolutely lovely, except that we were burgled in the early hours of Monday morning. we were woken up by a loud noise about 2am which turned out to be the sound of the intruder kicking the wine rack over on his way out of the window (we didn't know whether it was a breaking in noise or an ( Read more... )

my last exam was yesterday and i switched to full time hours at my job on Monday. the student thing is all over bar the award of a classification and the potentially embarrassing short walk across the stage in my hired gown and hood ( Read more... )
