Sometimes I think too much…

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

It’s rare that I sit down to write an entry without knowing what I’m going to type, without knowing at least the direction the post I’m going to write is going to go, even if once I start writing it ends up going in a completely different direction to the one I had originally intended. […]

Sugarhigh

This weekend has been brought to you (in no particular order) by…
…Entertainment Weekly (the essential magzine), Return of the Sith, property viewing (I was more impressed with the property than the movie), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (the movie *not* the song), Dr Who (of course), The O.C season one on DVD (£35, /love/ hmv sale) and […]

Do you remember when…

In the city this evening there is a London Top B. It pretty much does what it says on the tin - it’s Top B, but in London, apparently. And as an attractive an idea as it sounds initially we’re not going:
- It costs £10 to get in, you know […]

Summertime

Warning: here follows rambling inaneness about sunshine and Big Brother
My, what a lovely day it is! Has anyone out there not spent the day smiling because the suns out? For the first time this week I was in work not only on time, but early. I didn’t spend the first […]

The heart of government

The Boss (and so I as well) has been asked to move offices. And when I say asked I really mean told to. Unfortunately the Boss isn’t a big fan of being told what to do, oh no, and any attempts to tell him anything that aren’t carefully wrapped up in the manner […]

Catastrophe

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

We’ve run out of wine glasses! Over the past 9 months we have managed to break all our wine glasses. All four ‘traditional’ wine glasses, at leat two champagne flutes (maybe three I can’t remember how many survived to make the move), two posh crystal wine glasses, a large strippy decorative wine glass […]

Is this the onset of middle age?

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

Treasury J and I spent 20minutes discussing the relevant merits of herbal and fruit teas over lunch the other day.
Oh dear, I’m turning into my mother, shoot me now.
Burning question: whats the deal with Eurovision?
New diet: Absinthe and italian bread sticks.
Catching: the night bus home

It’s like school sports day

Picking up the baton and running with it…
The last film I saw at the cinema:
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy – one of the better films I’ve seen recently, I was sorry when it finished. The cast were almost perfect, it was funny if you’d never read the book and even funnier if you […]

◦ Spend your last half hour at work searching the BBC food website for the most sticky, sweet, chocolatey recipe you can find – if it includes fruit all the better, anything involving fruit is automatically good for you.
◦ Wander around your local corner shop buying ingredients – bonus points for anything […]

Another (not so pleasant) mouse story

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

Housemate J went away for a long weekend (Thursday - Sunday) and when he came back he discovered Pepples* had committed kamakazi in a pint glass he had left in his room. We do not know how Pepples had managed to get into the upstanding pint glass, nor how she had managed to not […]
