Rightio all you keen and eager readers (yeah, hi Mum ;) ), another entry. This one is a slightly shorter one due to my upcoming holiday. A holiday? Hmm, I wonder what they're like. I almost feel I've forgotten. Anyhow, From tomorrow (31/8) I'll be popping up daily entries (no doubt they'll be short ones, but they'll still be something).
This week started off with a Bank Holiday. A public holiday, how thrilling you may think. Not so for me. A bit of guilt set in (again) and I went into the office and spent the better part of the day working on my PhD. Not sure much was achieved, short of me feeling a bit better (i.e. less guilty - haha).
The rest of the week (Tues - Thurs) was spent trying to preempt things happening at work while I was away. Mucho fun - NOT.
Tuesday - happy birthday Chris! Funny, I only realised today that when she turned 30 (15 years ago) I laughed at how old she was. Now I'm 30...and no longer laughing (nor thinking that it's such an old age ;) ). Maturity? Nah - just not wanting to be old myself - haha.
On Wednesday night Sammy, Fariha and I went out for dinner (meeting Sammy at Charing Cross Road) and then went to see Blood Brothers. Interestingly, I thought I knew the basic storyline of this show...but I knew jack all about it. This was a brilliant show and I'd recommend anyone going to see it if they get a chance. After this, I strolled home. It's quicker to get home by foot from 'Theatreland' (West End) than by tube. Okay, that may not be exactly true, but it's less frustrating for me ;)
I had a shite load of stuff to get through on Thursday at work, but in the end I gave up on some of it and left it for when I get back (not good practice, but there are only so many hours in a day!). The problem was that the morning was filled up with damned meetings, and the afternoon chasing my tail (figuratively speaking - I don't actually have a tail).
Thursday night I went up to Victoria station and met Nicky (she stayed the night at mine before leaving on Friday morning - more convenient). It was good catching up with her again. I couldn't get over the size of the pack she was taking away with her (I'm sure you'd be able to easily get a body or two in it!). Mind you, in her defense, she had just arrived in from a week travelling around the Lakes District and Scotland and was straight into another 10-days of travel. I, on the other hand, was only taking a small backpack with me (that I had to go out and buy especially).
So, yeah, a non-exciting lead-up to a muchly anticipated holiday!
