Goodness, is that the time?

I have to hurry to get my daily blog in before midnight. I also have to sleep soon. As most of you may know I’ve got my mum visiting at the moment, it’s been fun and we’ve only argued once so far. Been shopping (oh man my feet hurt), then lazed about, looked at pics, lazed about some more, went food-shopping, had dinner, the end.

It’s funny to have her here tho, it’s occurred to me I’ve never properly been her host before (with her staying at my flat & all. last time she came I offloaded her to a B&B cuz I was paranoid she’d find my flat messy & dirty if she stayed too long). I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s some sort of growing up ritual (at 31, eek), but it’s kinda nice to realise I’ve actually figured some stuff out by myself and now I can welcome her in my little flat and show her how things work, make the bed for her etc (I was a very spoilt child – still am I know – and always pretty much had stuff done for me lol). I sort of cleaned up around the kitchen after she’d gone to bed and that felt very weird. :)) 😐

She also likes the flat, and Brighton. It’s cute how she gets excited about British stuff (she’s been before… been a while tho). She wasn’t impressed that there’s no hot water at the taps in my flat tho. :)) I’d sorta intended to tell her / ask if she wanted me to put the boiler on, but then I forgot. She took it well tho and washed her face & teeth in the shower. 😀

Yeah anyway, I really need to sleep. We’re off to Dorset tomorrow, I am plannning to keep up the daily blogging but you can expect the updates to be pretty short, typing is sort of a pain on the iPhone. Hopefully I’ll make up for it by bringing back lots of pretty pics – which won’t have any people in them I know so Mon will find them boring. But there will be monkeys! :]

Today I had 0.3 of my “5 a day”

Some lettuce and tomato on my bacon burger. 😀 Actually no, I had some salad over lunch too and an apple at some point. Yay me. More »

Distraction bad. Blogging good.

Okay so I’ve decided to start by blogging tonight and do the tidying later, cuz otherwise it’ll just end up as another “ack it’s late I’m tired, goodnight” post. This way it’s obviously going to turn into a long warbling procrastionation entry. 😀 More »

Tonight’s the night

… where I don’t have much to write about. Well mainly I’m knackered. I’ve done most of the mum-preparation flat-cleaning tho which is very nice. Only the kitchen left to do, and vacuuming the bedroom. Well, and hauling out bags full of rubbish (including the previous tenant’s curtains, which I kept for over a year to put on my pretty yellow carpet when I had builders round. :)) ).

Tomorrow we’re going to play volleyball after work, which should be fun, I enjoyed it last time we did it. Yeah and I think that shall be all for today, sorry. Must have dinner now and then bed. Nice, comfortable bed. 🙂

Clarissa home alone & road trip plans

This was the first week-end I’ve had at home for quite a while (after three consecutive week-ends in Southampton, Athens and Paris, respectively). It has been very nice, the main benefit being long lie ins on my expensive mattress. 🙂 More »

Music, I like it.

Placebo vs MJ

I used WP’s picture-upload thingo for this. Not particularly impressed. Anyway, I meant to say: Placebo are currently exactly 1,300 tracks ahead of MJ. (this is from my last.fm you know).

I will tell you more about MJ and Placebo whenever I get round to talking in detail about this coming summer. Cuz that will be totally awesome! :]

[edit next morning] Actually I think I’ve told you about most of the summer. Only addition is: Placebo @ Shepherds Bush in May!!!! :yay (does this count as today’s blog update? *hehe*)

My kinesiology experience

Today I went to see a kinesiologist. Not something I’d usually do, but she’s a colleague of mine and I thought there was no harm trying. I have an itch you see. I may have mentioned this on here before, not sure. Anyway the itch has gradually been getting worse since January and developed into a pretty annoying ekzema. Something needs to be done. Since my NHS doctor has been unhelpful so far I thought I’d explore new avenues. Here’s how it went! More »

Still offended

by stuff like the current media reports of the first encounter between Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Michelle Obama. Like here (this is the most respected news magazine in Germany!): “Which one is the prettiest? Michelle Obama was wearing yada yada yada while Carla blablabla.”

Seriously!? So we’ve got a former model slash singer (slash trophy wife), and a Harvard Law School graduate with an unprecedented fundraising track record, among other things. And we’re comparing them on the basis of what they were wearing!? GRAH!!!!!! [I have nothing more to say]

This is cute

My bank wants me to create an investor profile. More »

Love the Internet!

Oh hai! This could become “BEHA” (blog every hour April). Of course it won’t. Just another fun (to me) chat transcript from Omegle: More »
