Shopping

I went to the supermarket this morning. Here is my receipt. I was wondering if anyone has the job of guessing what people are like from what groceries they buy. I look like a soya drinking, fair trade, organic, free range food eating hippy. I suppose I am a bit, but not in a pretentious up my bum way, I hope. I just care about what I eat :)



This is obviously why I bought this atrocity yesterday:


Yes, it is a nutritious "gummi" burger. Only 10p.

Dancing

It's been a good week, though time is wizzzzzzzzzzzzzzing by. I thought you would appreciate these pictures of Ellie and me when we went out dancing our socks off last night. Ellie looks like a tiny person in the picture, but she is actually 7 inches taller.

We had comments such as "nice legs girls." This made us all giggly. We spent much time dancing and avoiding men twice our age, nice.

For those among you wishing to visit Birmingham's Broad Street, it is worth looking around. There were huge queues for some skanky places and entry fees, eg Walkabout and Ipanema, where we didn't really want to go anyway!. We managed to find much nicer places with free entry and wondered why some people are so silly! Crazy.

Sore Fingers

Hello again.

This evening I have successfully restrung and retuned my guitar. The first string was tricky - as I had no idea what I was doing, the subsequent 5 however, caused far fewer problems.

The tips of my fingers hurt from trying to play "Blowin' in the Wind," which incidentally sounds much better with new shiny (literally, the old ones were coated in rust) strings.

I feel you might appreciate a blast from the past with this fab "Rocking Mules" pic, a "band" which produced such hits as "Stonking" and "I'm sitting on the radiator." One can tell from the picture quite how long I've had my guitar - I think I got it the year of my GCSEs, back when I still had a fringe!

Is there any hope for my guitar skills? I'm not sure, although one thing is for certain - I'm more likely to play it if it's here in my room than if it's back in beautiful Hathern!

I'll keep you informed.

Smalentines!

First of all "raaaaa" blogger is really picky about when it lets me log in!

Right, it's only Wednesday, and what a week so far! I'm knackered for one, I should really be in bed, but it is only 8:45, and that is quite frankly too early.

This week it is my duty to initially answer (nearly...) all the calls that come into the office. In general, I am actually highly competant at this, however... I had a call on Monday and managed to burst into tears. The man was a bit gruff (he did have something serious to say) and I was very hormonal... This has led to many subsequent "are you all right today?" "have you got a tissue?" "how are the hormones today?" questions. Marvelous! They think I'm very emotionally delicate.

I think Tuesday passed without too much bother.

Today however, I popped to the loo, then came over all funny, went back into the office and thought I was going to faint! Low iron levels I think.

Weak weak little thing...

Right, must call my imaginary husband Corinthian,

xx

I'm not crazy.

More fun in the lane.
