Click here to read a much more interesting blog.

Making plans to get together with H.
She says she can't on the first day I suggest as she's interviewing a well known band from the eighties who were hunting high and low....

I think her life is much more glamorous than mine. Now her blog, that'd be worth reading.

Today I got back my first piece of written work and was amazed to have been given 70%.

Don't think I need to add any more: suffice to say i'm very happy.

A Remarkable Recovery.

The very moment I stepped through the door this morning the phone started to ring.
Seeing J's school flash up across the screen indicated the call was more important than most.
The nice lady on the phone advised that J was complaining of feeling ill and having a headache. ( Yeah right )
She then passed the phone to J who did his utmost to put on a winning performance as a child too ill to be at school.

So the options were to:

a) Jump straight back in the car and and retrace the 15 mile journey to school from which i'd just returned.

b) Suggest J be given some Calpol and call back in an hour to check on his progress.


I opted for b to be told he'd not been complaining of any more ailments.

I suspect the threat of not going to gym club or trampolining this evening may also have helped the recovery process.

With it being panto season.
J and I trotted down to our local theatre to boo at the baddies and cheer for the goodies.
We did the Timewarp (again).
And sang our way to Amarillo.

It's been a while.
Actually not that long but have been too busy to blog.
Luckily Kiera Blogfan was here to keep you all entertained in my absence.

At the moment there isn't much to report aside from planning a trip to NYC later in the year and getting back into (mature) student life: which has involved a fair bit of rolling around on the floor. Naturally.

Hope everyone's fine and dandy.

Creative Genius?!

Yes I know. There's been a distinct lack of updates...some might describe this as a blessing!. Thing is, i've been writing an essay. Unfortunately this has to take priority.
At the house of a friend *I was amused by their creative use of space.

Some might say it'd make more sense to put the computer on the desk.

*permission has been granted from said friend to post pics.

So this evening C, A and I set off for a Friday night out on the tiles.
Ok, maybe not the tiles, but out nonetheless.

After visiting two pubs totally devoid of customers or atmosphere we venture onto more of a pub-come-club.

I'm trying very hard to think of how I can explain the next part of the evening without sounding like an over-the-hill hasbeen.
Suffice to say everyone seemed oh so young.

Tomorrow I may dye my grey hairs.

There's A Spotter On The Draining Board.

There's nothing nicer than seeing all the houses when it's dark with their warm, cosy lights.

I think so anyway.

It's 4.37am. Really too late to be blogging.

Some of my sparkly decorations...but these are for life ( or until they pack up!) not just for Christmas.

Big Bruva.

My.
Oh.
My.

Was anyone lucky enough to see Celebrity Big Brother this evening?
What a motley crew who'll be sharing a living space.

In the last year i've discovered such random Reality TV shows.
They're quite entertaining.
Can't really imagine what'd possess anyone to volunteer themselves for such public scrutiny and possible ridicule.
Still.
Each to their own.
Yours truely will be tuned in whenever she remembers!

Jet Lag: Oh the joys.

These past two nights J has been having trouble sleeping.
Last night it was 3.30am before he finally dozed off.
He's called twice this evening from R's to say he still can't sleep.
I've suggested thinking of Laputa* and counting very slowly to 300.






* castle in the sky, for anyone not in the know.

The Wonderful World of Google.

Just discussing with my brother (the teacher) the difference between Accounting and Sales.

Witty replies in the form of comments welcomed.

Happy Holidays.

We're back in Blighty,
It's also J's 11th birthday. Yay!

My watch is still telling US time which is 6.38am.
Off to bed.
