Fit to drop!

...feeling really tired no, owing to lack of sleep last night. Hopefully will be better this evening, I cant have a repeat performance! Bloody 'orrible it were......just need a nap now, but if I nap now, I think I'll be writing the rest of the week off, and I dont want that!

*groggy*

Ficking Harrrs Blocks!

..........nicely bowdlerised for those of you viewing from work. Took bike to be repaired this AM, what a waste of time. They've got the wrong part (wrong in box - why didnt they check?) AND the front fairing is totally buckled and cant be put back together! This means even more expense for me, AND I got my credit card statement this morning which is huuuuuuge! Think I'll pay the lot of that off and not touch it again for a bit! My remaining funds are decreasing......I'll need to save mucho mucho in Jan! Think this may be time to reclaim the three hundred in my kiddy bank account.......I need it! And I'm not spending ANY money in the new year.

Huuuuge asthmatic evening yesterday, too. Not fun. Going to docs tomorrow, more inhaler please! Bum......

Tuesday

Overslept AMAZINGLY well last night! Roused at about half seven when the housemates were getting up, but other then promptly went back to sleep and snoozed till eleven! Never mind, it's not like there was anything urgent to go and do.......but it's all because I spent many an hour yesterday chatting to some guy called Marty over the internet about our mutual allergic skin conditions, what creams and potions we use and the like......most bizarre conversation, really! Still, nice to know there's a network of sufferers out there and we can all moan at each other in tandem. And apparently you can get year-long-lasting prescriptions, which they manage to keep very quiet (and since Mum didnt appear to know about it, I remain rather dubious whether it's true!)

Rang about bike parts, they have arrived and I'm getting patched tomorrow....back on the road *yay*! Cant wait to go eating up some miles.....may invest in a tank bag to avoid future tank scratches, nasty.

Well done again to Rowan - I'm incredibly jealous, d'you know? Cant wait to be in the same position! Stay in touch!

Hooray!

Congrats, Dr R Wilson! Not quite the first of our batch, but near enough, so well done you! Do stay in touch, you're a stunner of a person.......you'll be coming back to chemistry some day, dont deny it!

Nope....

...it's still dead boring! Just waiting for friend Rowan to come out of her viva - fingers crossed, Ro! - and then it's off for the beers, all things being well. But cant be having with this sitting around waiting.....more to the point, I'm quite concerned that NOWHERE seems to have Nivea for my hands anymore - this could become an important issue, I NEED moisturiser or my hands will be lovely and red all the time!

Message sent to upcoming boss in Leeds, hopefully he still remembers who I am! Looking forward to that in a way, just need to sort out all my rubbish with house-moving - reminds me, better contact Dad and give him a heads-up! Otherwise he'll get a bit of a shock!

Goodness!

...but working at a computer all day is FANTASTICALLY dull. I dont know how most of you lot put up with it, I certainly cant!

Hands are very dry and in need of moisturiser. Too bad I havent got any about, it's an arse!

Woke up this morning....

...feeling fine. And I did! Nice, undisturbed sleep for a change which only goes to show that maybe I'm not suffering from asthma after all - or that the productio was causing me more worry than I thought! Never mind, was a nice chilled morning - juice, toast, killer sudoku......nice.

Have now come into work though and started the fateful compiling. Not going to bad at the moment, though there will be a lot of chopping and changing and incorporation of diagrams to go with it! NOT looking forward to it all.

Must remember to ring the garage today. Also ask Clare for 'leccy money. Ah, such pedestrian exploits! I should not be bothered with such mundane stuff (basically because I'm crap at it!)

Suppose I should really be a bit more careful now that people 'officially' know about my blogging activities. Should I name-drop a little? Nah - so much more fun to let it all come out bit by bit....plus not telling stories may convince people to contact me and ask the details. Please feel free to do so, people, I'm always on the lookout for new friends ( = free beds in foreign countries!).

Ummmm.....better get back to it all, no?

Bedtime

Now I lay me down to sleep....except that I'm not, obviously. About to get under covers and start reading tho! Also part of the booty from get-out was a copy of 'an actor prepares' by Stanislavsky, turning into quite interesting reading, though it seems to be taking a turn for the philosophical! Never mind, it'll do as a filler. Since finishing off 'A Feast for Crows', I'll not have anything to get my teeth into for another bloody five years!

Need to remember to pester housemates for contributions to 'leccy bill. Turning into a bit of a pain with the whole organisation thing. I think I'll invest in a whole load of new files from work tomorrow, so I can sort out all my bank stuff and such rubbish. I'm hopeless with stuff like that, it would do be good to be a little anal from time to time. Dont think it'll last.

Hopefully something will happen tomorrow!

End of WELTC

Well, that's it for West End Little Theatre Club. Everyone a little bit down, and I really feel for those who've devoted a great number of years to it....must be like watching your kids die! All set taken down and packed away, all that remains is to get rid of it to worthy causes and the dump. Ah well.

Not much to do for the rest of the day, what with the shops being shut and not having ingredients to go on a cookery madness trip. Think I'll go for a little cruise......or maybe see if someone wants to share the free booze I swiped from the get out!

Bored on a Sunday

*sigh*.....why is it I always run out of things to do on a sunday? Well, truth be told, I havent in the slightest, but there's something about a huge pile of laundry that just makes me *shudder* and then forget about it. And I could have moved my arse down to the sale at Infinity (Bike shop), but I'd be walking and for some reason this is embarrassing. SO annoying that I'm off the road, otherwise I'd just go out burning up miles, great fun even if I'd then be forking out for a service after about 2 weeks!

Still, I actually have to go and help rip down the set later this afternoon, from the play of last week. Yes, all you interested people, I am also a rank amateur of an actor, and yesterday was the final curtain - not only of this run but also of the entire club. It's a real shame really, since they've racked up 60 years but havent managed to keep going any longer - the club has just gotten older and older and not replaced people underneath! Shame, big shame - but I can kinda see why, there's a feeling of active discouragement of new things, especially considering the knackered out old audience! Actually, I do them a diservice, plenty of new people about. But now that I actually know some of the old duffers, I can see why some might be put off. Not exactly a modern outlook on everything......oo-er missus.

Tomorrow I have to start work on writing a paper. Well, it should turn out more like a collation exercise, but I get the feeling it's going to be a big long hassle. No matter. At least I'll get published, and hopefully just a 2-name paper! Not in fact likely, if we put in the NMR studies, and there may be some tussle over whether mass spec people get in on the act....but hey ho. For those of you who have a passing interest in supramolecular chemistry (and access to Wiley journals!), take a look at this. It's kinda like what I do now, and I'm shamefully proud of that little one too!

Badly need a holiday, but not likely to get one for a while. Plus the fact that I currently have no-one to go on holiday with, and no money to spend it on! Think I'll ask my sis and bro-in-law about borrowing the place in Cornwall again, and go and have a week away from it all. And then again, I may not. I'm hopeless like that!

Ummm.....very easy to just keep typing random rubbish, isnt it?

Just a nice little photo so that I can have something on my profile.....no website of own as yet so (:-(....and it's not of me, but of a rather nice GSXR, something I will be owning one day!

So yes, I'm turning into a bit of a motorbike freak, much to the dismay of my family. But it's all just so much fun......

It seems to work....

....so now I can update with random musings and all the other crap I can think of. Abandon hope all ye who enter here! Most likely I'll fill it with libelous stuff meaning nothing to those who dont know what I'm talking about....and believe me, my free associations tend to wander somewhat far! I can heartily recommend http://www.dictionary.com for those of you who need it - I consult it regularly!

Wooo! Will this work properly? Who knows? I'll just feed random text into webspace and see who picks it up!
