I took half the day off on Friday and went home, drank about one and a half litres of water and slept. Didn't eat much all day, eventually emerged on Saturday feeling slightly better. Still got a slight cough, but much better now.

Still feeling really ill at the moment. I thought it best if I got an early night last night, so I went to bed at 10pm and lightly dozed until about midnight, when my upstairs neighbour came back from the pub with a whole load of his friends and started playing loud music and talking/shouting until about 2am :/ It figures, that the first time in ( Read more... )

I think I'm coming down with something. My throat has been itching all morning and a headache has been building up all afternoon. Looking at my computer screen isn't helping things either and to top it off the air conditioning seems intent on turning me into an ice-block (even through a really thick fleece!)

Mid-week.

Back down to Reading this weekend for my brother's birthday. Just realised that even though I was nice and organised last week in getting him a present I forgot to get him a card with it... :/ I can probably head down into town on Saturday and get one. Should really get a haircut as well.

Things to do, things to do.

Two new tyres and the tracking fixed, but I'm now broke for the rest of this month. Damn water bill, council tax, rent, car repairs, and insurance. :( A whole two weeks until the next payday.

Finally got around to getting my car booked in to a garage to get two new front tyres and the tracking done. Forgot to ask them about getting the leaky heater hose replaced as well :/ Ah well, I think I may have to get that done another time... Costing me a fortune in coolant anti-freeze stuff though.

The wedding weekend before last was good, got very drunk, and we ended up back at the hotel trying to blag our way into the Holiday Inn bar across from the Travelodge where we were staying... A nice meat-filled Little Chef breakfast the next morning went down nicely after a vegetarian meal at the reception the night before ( Read more... )

Saw 'Underworld' over the weekend, which I thought was good and enjoyable, but a big missed opportunity. The Set and Costume design were fantastic throughout, but I felt it was let down by the unimaginative direction and pacing.

So anyway, got a wedding to go to this weekend, but I left my only pair of smart shoes back down in Reading, so I'll probably head back there tomorrow and travel back up to the wedding on Saturday. Thinking back, I cannot remember the last wedding I went to, if I have ever been to one.

Unicorns, who came up with that joke of an idea?

Take a horse, and add a f*cking horn! *sigh* Adding wings I could appreciate, but a horn? They're not even supposed to be vicious creatures, thus rendering the horn completely useless.
