It seems I may have done a leetle bit too much of late. I slept for fourteen hours or so and I've had a couple of naps since getting up. Well, waking up - today is blatantly another pyjama-day & there possibly needs to be an early night. But never mind? I mean, I still have some voice, so it is not that bad... That reminds me: I have an ( Read more... )

I have had a very wonderful day with Laura. We met at Embankment Tube and caught the 12 o'clock boat down to Greenwich. It takes a little bit more than an hour, but it is such a nice way to see London. And also very relaxing as it is just sitting & I don't even feel like I have to try and concentrate on what the boat bloke is saying about the ( Read more... )

I have had a very fine day today. closethepiano is once more in the south and so we had a rather frabjous day catching up & bopping about ( Read more... )

Ah, Brownie planning. It is always a joy. We have the first half of term planned, and next week's meeting is for planning the latter half of the term.

Our Active Kids dance session is due to be happening on the last meeting of the first half term & we have fitted in craft & food things, which are always v. important. We've settled on doing the ( Read more... )

I am waiting for the boiler engineer to come & poke the boiler. He (or possibly she but I have yet to encounter a female boiler engineer) is due to arrive at some point between noon and six o'clock. I hate absurdly long timeframes. Rah. I knew it would not be planly to book a morning slot, with the whole exhaustion thing, but I want to go & get ( Read more... )

I have just listened to the last in the series of Hut 33. It was splendacious. But now I am very sad at the prospect of no more Hut 33. Possibly ever. *mourns* I am contemplating emailing Radio 4 to say how splendacious the programme is & to demand they make there be ask if there will be another series.

Oooof. I am vair sleepy. But I have had a splendid Saturday. This is thanks to Pim. It is so very fine to have a friend who lives close by again - like being at school, but I get to skip the whole work & uniform thing. And of course as a grown-up I can stay out as late as I want & see anything at the cinema and afford to eat somewhere more ( Read more... )

I fell asleep. That was not the plan. I am now up & washed & dressed, but still sleepy. And there is definitely not time for me to go larking off to Lewisham now. Mumph ( Read more... )

This morning was spent waiting about for the post to arrive. And avoiding doorknocking evangelists who I would like to think were out in force in the hopes of being mistaken for postpersons delivering the latest Harry Potter and thus getting people to open their doors. Bah. When the book put in an appearance sometime around noon I settled down ( Read more... )

Brownies this evening was good fun, if a bit manic in parts. Little Owl and Barn Owl came to carry the huuuuuuuuuuuuuge amounts of BBQ stuff up to the hall (giant rucksacks ahoy) while I had a normal rucksack & a box full of things to give out to Brownies ( Read more... )
