Notes to self

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

Must actually do some work today and not spend time surfing t’interweb in a hungover fashion. And no reading the Guardian blogs does not count as working, not even if you stretch and twist the definition of “working” between two goal posts, go to the far end of the pitch, stand on your head […]

Anywhere but here

Monday, June 27th, 2005

That’s it, I’m done. I no longer want to spend my days sat at my desk, staring at my computer, not that I ever really wanted to in the first place, as lovely as the air conditioning is. I want to be lying on a beach, and I’m not talking Skegness here, […]

Cute but pointless

Pink pig, originally uploaded by London Girl.

This was given to me on the commute to work the other day by a large, fluffy, bright, pink pig - I assure you I was sober at the time

Pimms O’clock

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

The sun is out – tick
The weather is hot – tick
The tube is dreadful – tick
The tourists have arrived en mass – tick
You’d rather be in the park than sweltering at work – tick
The nation is once again gripped by watching Henman nearly throw it all away – tick
/checks watch
It is officially Pimms o’clock!
Make: Bono […]

One last time

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

I’d tell you about how its possible to buy three fancy dress outfits in the space of 45 minutes on Oxford Street and still catch your train; about commuting down the Parade wearing a bunny tail; the reseruction of the Friday-night-wine-run as Will and I desperatly scoured Leamington for an off-licence that would serve us […]

Dispatches from the front line

Wednesday, June 15th, 2005

I’ve always kinda thought I’d make a good general - Napoleon at Waterloo? I could have had him. The strategy, the tactics, the ability to see the bigger picture, to get inside the enemies head and pre-empt what their next move will be and what they’ll do in 5 steps time, to marshal […]

Tequila: it makes you happy

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Mr Tequila Man and I were walking to the pub on Friday night, well to the third pub of the evening if we’re going to be completely honest about this, it was past closing (late licence pubs are where its at) and even though I had by this stage been drinking for a good 5 […]

Friday Night

Saturday, June 11th, 2005

There’s something about sitting in a bar, several hours after you had originally intended to come home, drink in hand, surrounded by the good people you work with, that even when the world may be about to come crashing down around you, means, for a moment or two, you don’t feel like it matters, like […]

Catching up

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

Work has been crazy this week. The boss demanding I served up the world on a plate, whilst juggling cats for his amusement - no mean feat I can assure you. He has however departed back to the constituency and so tomorrow I may find time to do things like, you know, breathe.
Life […]
