I've been in Australia for a week, and am now just about over the jet lag. I've spent the week with a variety of family in Woy Woy, Terrigal and Copacabana, and been to a family coffee shop in Gosford. It was odd coming into Sydney today, as I went through Croydon and Lewisham on the way from Gosford and Newcastle ( Read more... )

I've not gone missing, I promise. Will be posting more over the next month. 
Tonight I will be getting on a plane to Sydney. I am terrified, as I hate flying. I arrive on Friday. I will be in touch when I am alive and well!

I love being back in Richmond. Went to Richmond Live last weekend, saw loads of folks from school and The Buzzcocks, playing down on the Batts, although the bar ran out of Black Sheep far too early on the second night. On Sunday we walked up to Willance's Leap through Deepdale and all the wildflowers were out, so the whole area was stunning. The ( Read more... )

Although having all this extra time (I'd never get everything done in the next hour in time to get to Kings Cross) means I'm back to slow procrastinating packing ( Read more... )

I hate moving. My arms are covered in cuts and bruises, because I keep dropping stuff. Somehow, I've also lost the working needle for the socks I've been making. It's vanished, and I can't work out why.

Most of my furniture is in storage, except for the bed (which I'm selling), but still around 200 CDs and more books than I know what to do with are sitting around along with clothes from evening dresses to t-shirts and duvet covers. I wish ( Read more... )

I had next to no sleep last night, because some *CENSORED* *CENSORED* in the flat next door has taken to listening to "Today" at full blast, so loud that I can hear every sodding word through the wall. I wouldn't mind - my radio alarm plays Radio 4 of a morning on a weekday, but normally between 7 and 8. Not between 10 to 6 and 7.  This was my only ( Read more... )
