I hate lazy days at home. They really don't do much for me. After the nice lie-in, perhaps some nice bakery bread for lunch and a full perusal of the Sunday paper, I've pretty much had as much nothing as I can handle and start itching to get out and DO something. If your beloved wants that, and it's a miserable day out, and you're trying to shake ( Read more... )

Hurrah. Finally managed a full evening without falling asleep at 7pm and needing to be woken up for dinner. Turns out the key to jetlag may just be fucking BRUTAL films (we went and saw Sin City - how beautiful.. yet.. how violent.) Mind you, I think the film I slept through on Saturday night probably wasn't entirely fluffy bunnies but it was in ( Read more... )

Oh my god. Body in Melbourne, heart in London.

I hope you - and everyone you care about - and everyone THEY care about - is OK.

Hello hello. Long time no post. Think we've been busy. Today is a 'study day' as I continue the onslaught of the OU, but since Anthony has slipped out to pick up a video I can waste a little time online and he'll never know. (WEll, unless he ever checked my journal ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the Queen's Birthday. We spent a good proportion of the day in a couple of wineries, sampling their wares, and yet still failed to raise a toast to Her Majesty, which is a bit rude considering she'd netted us the day off work to celebrate. The Australian's think we're a bit odd because we don't celebrate the Queen's Birthday in the ( Read more... )

I've just noticed that our peppercorns very helpfully tell you they add 'a strong, fresh, peppery note to any meal'. Well really ( Read more... )

I launched my modelling career today. Appearing soon on the cover of the Heart Foundation Overweight and Obesity management guidelines, with a cup of coffee and a cheesy grin. Though I have decided I'm allergic to my make-up as I've spent the rest of the day trying to claw the itching off my eyelashes and lips. Either that, or that article I read ( Read more... )

Urgh. Cold from hell. It came on impressively quickly - absolutely fine all day, dinner, cleaned the house, fine. Settled down to watch The Empire Strikes Back and by the end am dying of snot overload. How is it possible to come down with a cold in 2 hours ( Read more... )

This weekend was pretty good, apart from the mad crying 'we have no social life!' incident on Saturday. It had got to me a bit, but this is stupid as what had brought it on was going out with the girls. :) I was just upset because all afternoon they'd been swapping stories of good bars to go to, and they'd turn to me and say 'have you been there?

We saw Star Wars. Bizarrely, I liked it. It's bizarre because after a whole childhood loving Star Wars, they re-released the originals at the cinema, and I discovered I actually hated it. I hate all characters, especially that damned wookie, and I have never figured out the plot. Obviously the new films 1 and 2 were a total bust (I went to sleep ( Read more... )
