7 Days: Day 5 – Touching up the makeup

… with a little vanilla-coloured eyeshadow from the palette. There are some nice shades in this set and you can probably see that the mid-brown has been worn through to the base. That magnificent mirror was a present from Mum and Dad today. Whether it lives on my dresser or not, or only comes out [...]

7 Days: Day 1 – No tunes and no clue

Mmm, shiny new iPod Shuffle. It’s intended as my gym buddy, but I’ll be going to the gym in a minute without it, as I haven’t made the time to make the playlist for it yet. Any suggestions as to what songs I should include? Also, if someone could insert the chip into my brain [...]

29/30: Shopping

All of my bones ached today on account of spending the day walking around Bluewater shopping centre yesterday. Suzy and I didn’t do badly with our shopping. I got a few Christmas bits and pieces done and we both found some nice clothes. We were also both very smug about getting lunch before the crowds [...]

27/30: Winged things

This afternoon I spent a while under my cosy teal fleece blanket watching a couple of episodes of Pan Am and enjoying the sixties fashion and the glitz and glamour. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up and while I know it’s not a flight attendant, the TV version [...]

26/30: I miss Sim City

I’m not sure I’ve achieved much today. Though getting rid of a stinking headache this morning certainly took some work, so I’m counting that for something. The rest of the day went on, I’m not sure what. The kind of nothing-ish day that would have years ago seen a few hours lost in Sim City. [...]

8/30: New lovely

Lookit, I has a new bag! I’m off to Salzburg early tomorrow morning and since I’m flying with BA this time, rather than Ryanair, I’m not being charged for the joy of checked luggage. So instead of stuffing everything into my big rucksack and trotting through the airport with something on my back not much [...]

4/30: Friday night

I had an evening out with Suzy tonight – a good way to end the week. We ate at a regular haunt of ours, Frankie & Benny’s. We love the music and the food’s pretty good, but we can never remember the name quickly enough (I blame Ben & Jerry’s), so it gets re-christened every [...]

7 Days: Day 7 – Turning out the lights

Turning out the lights after a long day. It started at 5.50am when a dream about needing the loo, going to the loo, but then still needing the loo merged into realising that I was now awake and needing the loo. Only it turned out that that wasn’t actually causing the discomfort. Everyone’s favourite aunt [...]
