Today seems to have ended up as a mixture of sleeping and listening to plays/books. Which is not a bad way to spend a day really.

My Naughty Little Sister is on BBC 7's Listen Again. Huzzah. I used to love these stories when I was younger. Possibly because I can identify with so much of it, frankly...

The NT are performing an adaptation of Micheal Morpurgo's War Horse later in the year. Given that I absolutely loved the book when I was about seven, I think I may have to go.

Vair amusant. I also went to Sainsbury's, which was mercifully ( Read more... )

The last couple of days I have been a) feeling bleh and b) doing job applications. I do not believe the two to be connected, but I could be wrong ( Read more... )

Last night I made up a rather large parcel. It involved much bubble-wrap and a very large jiffy-bag. And stickers. Because those are always important. jackthegoat rang me last night to rant about the crapnosity of District Meetings (because I can truly share the pain having been in that District for the last three years... although apparently they hadn't ( Read more... )

Today has been reasonably productive. Although there was some accidental-shopping. La...

I went to Blackheath, mostly to visit Ryman's to get stationery-things for the 4 session I am doing on Friday...
