The best quote of the week so far, courtesy of This storySomeone raised a relevant point about the volume of e-mail: It does seem to create a lot more work in my job, yet at the end of the day it looks like I've done practically nothing as I have only three letters to post.

I am absolutely exhausted. I had a wonderful day at Pride with sshhh, although unfortunately I couldn't manage to find many of the other people I was supposed to be meeting there.

Over the weekend, I managed to make myself feel very low brow and inferior by looking at this website. Out of the 1001 books listed there, I've read 55, and most of those are due to an almost embarrassing obsession with Jane Austin. Feeling in the mood for self-improvement, I marched myself over to the library on my lunch yesterday and hunted out ( Read more... )

I've had my sister here for the weekend. She recently finished her degree and got a first, so I'm very proud of her! I used her visit as an excuse to finally go to The Pavillion. The pictures don't do it justice: walking into the banqueting hall was absolutely awe-inspiring and I could have spent hours just staring at decor, especially the ( Read more... )

I got my new phone today but it looks like I've lost my entire address book because I didn't save everything to my sim.

If you have my number and want me to have yours, give me a text and mention who you are.
