Back to work
Had a good weekend - post about it to follow. At the moment I am at work and pondering what I'll do when I get home. Post-travel laundry and tidying up is somewhat inevitable, but hopefully I'll get some time to read a bit more of Lustrum, which I've restarted. So far, the evening looks a bit like this:- laundry
- bank statement
- maybe even tidy desk
- put ( Read more... )

This week I finished my article for Pan Historia...RELIEF! I cleared out my collection of earrings and some jewellery. I drank 2 lovely, very cold, martinis last night while watching Casino Royale. And I didn't get up until 11am this morning, which I haven't done in months.

I finally went and got a contract for my phone. For 50p extra a month I get 500 texts and 300 minutes. And I get to keep my current phone and my current number. Phew. I'm very attached to both of these so it's a relief. What is also a relief is not having to pay 12p a text.

In the meantime, we've been coming up with creative ways to clean and be clean. Happily, ( Read more... ) -

Clan night last night with Pizza and Cupcakes for pudding! Cupcakes are so good - especially with chocolate icing on a plain sponge. Now I wonder if I can get up to Glasgow at some point this week...
This would effectively scunner my earnest resolution to eat less sugar but perhaps if it's just once a week then it's ok? But yes last night was, as ( Read more... ) -
Suddenly
As I had always known
he would come, unannounced,
remarkable merely for the absence
of clamour. So truth must appear
to the thinker; so, at a stage
of the experiment, the answer
must quietly emerge. I looked
at him, not with the eye
only, but with the whole
of my being, overflowing with
him as a chalice would
with the sea. Yet was he
