I return! Ta Daaaa! Actually I haven`t been anywhere, I just haven`t been in the vicinity of the computer, and if I have, I`ve been asleep. Been doing nothing much other than working, working, working - no rest for the wicked and all that. Saturday evening I went with Izzi-chan to see her new house, which is very lovely. I ate some tiramisu and fell asleep on the tube home. Woke up in the night feeling rough as a badger`s arse and threw up. I think it must be the heat. Yesterday at work I actually fell asleep during my break on the bench behind the music desk, even with all that noise going on in the shop.
Last night we had a kind of party because Zoey left the shop to do a bit of travelling. I took some pictures. It was really nice to catch up with everyone but I always get very attached to people I work with and then when they leave I get upset.
Random act of the day: Keirran dropped by the shop this afternoon, handed me a paper bag and then left. When I investigated it, there was a bakewell slice in there, all wrapped up. I did an excited dance of glee, not so much about the cake I think but about the fact that someone had thought of me and brought me something. Actually I just remembered he wants me to go to the Tidy Weekender with him. I am peturbed by the fact that there will be people there, people wearing those furry legwarmer things. Also, I am wondering wether or not we will be able to spend 3 whole days in each other`s company without wanting to suffocate each other. Hmm.
I was supposed to be doing things this evening, things such as doing the ironing that has sat in my lounge for the past fortnight, cooking some dinner for Yuki, wetshaving my head with some rather exciting peach scented shaving foam, taking my cappuccino machine apart with a screwdriver to try to see why the milk frother thingy won`t work, but because I`m a lazy cow, I`m not.
Instead, a survey.

Cancer.
Also: My i-Pod is behaving oddly. How can I tell if it`s the battery that is running out and needs changing?
You like my cup, don`t you.
Zoey with her leaving present. It was an atlas that we`d all left personal messages in.
Handsome chap!
