Ahh. Hello again. How have you been? [Insert response here]. Good, good. That’s great... Me? Ah now, well you see…

 

Birthday Week. Yes, it is.

Having had a lovely slobbing weekend with Moo and pretending to do some work on Monday, I took Tuesday and Wednesday off work to allow for sleeping-in, headaches and birthday cuddles, which in hind-sight was a good idea. On my actual birthday, we (tankGirl and I) went out to Lure Bar for some drinks with some of my favourite people, had a laugh and was amazed by the science fiction bathrooms in there. Lure has now been given the designation of Pub#2, well done them for that.

Wednesday was all about aimless wondering around Knaresborough Market and Harrogate shops, followed by a trip to cinema to see Iron Man (twitter: Done cinema. Iron Man would be trite rubbish without Robert Downey Jnr's coked-up confident delivery. 5/10 - the Iron Man cgi is rather cool 08:38 PM May 21, 2008). I’ll buy it on DVD to go with the others, but I probably wont watch it again.

Thursday was back to work, where again, like today, I pretended to work by having appropriate software windows open on the screen. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not slacking, I could do a whole day’s work in a couple of hours if I drank two cups of coffee back to back. But sometimes [shuffles papers on desk, moving them from one pile to another] it is just as well to appear to be busy rather than actually being busy. This is the NHS afterall and we’re all a little bit Bank Holiday Weekend Excitable today anyway, two of us are even wearing sunglasses unnecessarily.

 

It’s now Friday. Tonight is dinner with TankGirl, Eddie and Laynie (The First Life Couple) which I’m looking forward to, tomorrow we are gate crashing Mr & Mrs Bongo’s wedding reception and Sunday is further fun with the visiting Vapour Trail…

 

I was pondering a rant about something silly last night, a pleasant rant (don’t think ‘rant’ is the right word) about how the scenery changes as we walk on down the path… then at about 2300hrs Dragondrop micro-blogged; “Listening to radio 7, thinking about the lovely twists and turns life puts before us” and I realised he had said all I needed to in that one line. Judging by the debriefing I got from TankGirl’s first visit to The Combine Harvester Appreciation Society (or W.A.G.s Night as I called it), it seems the Thornborough Wedding/Betraothal thing is all moving up a gear now…its all sounds very exciting. I really must either convince P to come bringing Moo or bring Moo myself. Can’t do it without my Moo.

 

 

 

The future is bright, the future is beautiful.
