things are moving about in the studio today... some well needed frameworks irrigation got the flow going... so much is backed up so much new stuff coming in.

The boiler in the flat is kaput. No heat and no hot water... my pounding headache that I woke up with this morning would have kept me from going to the gym, however quickly realizing that it would mean no shower... I hopped out of bed and zipped down to the gym. As convinces go, our landlord is away for the next 2 weeks leaving not contact in case of emergency. Oh the joy of renting... guess it's better than owning and paying for it yourself!

Dearbhla leaves for Thailand this evening. She looks so excited! I can just feel the buzz off of her! Everyone should have more holidays. She's now zipping down to the shop to collect some chocolate for the troops. She's fab.

Had a great online chat with Yvonne yesterday at the office. I love instant messaging... even though it's a faux pas at work... it's great to connect and just chat with a friend from across the ocean. Keeping in touch with people is one thing but keeping a connection with them is another thinge entirely... Chit chatting is something that quickly falls by the wayside when you're far away from your friends. *bows to the yahoo messenger gods*

Still trying to work out plans for xmas... doesn't look like I'll be getting to Toronto... no cheap flights to be found... unless you consider 480£ reasonable... Portugal looks more promising... Must write Siobhan!
