do di doo

I got a lift to Kings Cross this morning as Miss B was running late. It was so glorious outside that I decided to walk the rest of the way in... and the fact that I was then so early that I would be at work at 8h15 if I took the bus! I walked all the way... though the polluted streets and it was surprisingly pleasant. I stopped off at a little café just near to my office and had some marmite on toast (god love this country) and a bottle of water and soaked up the rays...

then at 9am I arrive at work

and there are a zillion things wrong with the weather application we built... Okay not a zillion but two... two more than anyone wants to deal with on a Friday morning....

however

clever Amazon sent me a mail letting me know that this... was now available... yea yea so I'm probably the last to know but how excited am I? Sadly Amazon will not get my business as the instant satisfaction of visiting HMV at lunch down on Oxford street will prove much more fruitful.

I went to bed early last night after having a very relaxing bath... only to be greeted by what can only be described as carnival-like noise levels in the courtyard. It was like standing between two different rides playing equally offensive music... everyone's windows were open. It was nothing short of torture. Thank goodness that my ability to sleep rescued me from this terror and I made it though the night without killing any of my twatty neighbours. I will miss my flat when we move but I certainly won't miss the noise!

Production meeting in the park this afternoon... sounds like a really good idea. Lets just see if we can muster up the gumption to pull it off... the boss is away so...

this morning there is a lovely breeze flowing in through the window that I sit next to...

i'm so happy to be free of air conditioning... that's one think I really hated about working in an office back in Canada... their insistence that the fact that it's freezing for 8 months of the year isn't enough... and that it's customary to freeze all employees during the summer months as well. I'll never understand that one...

I had a really really good chat last night with my friend Mark. I've not spoken to him in ages and he gave me some really sound advice... and some really positive ideas to work towards... Some things to think about and just some really nice support. He's such a top bloke! Even after I got off the phone with him I went and wrote some stuff down just so as I wouldn't forget. I'm looking forward to going to Seville next week, but I've resolved in my mind that it's going to be more of a mini-holiday on my own... more so than anything else. I think I should send him a really fun present from London... hmmm *off to spittafileds I shall trott*

work is quiet as our NL counterparts are all off today for ascension day... most of them have tomorrow off as well making theirs a four day weekend. Good for them... they know how to celebrate their antiquated catholic holy days!

please welcome a new blogger to the world!

*said in theme park voice*
thank you and enjoy the rest of your day here at Canada's Wonderland

i can't imagine that...

it's possible for me to be more distracted than I am today... the sun has come out for the first time in what seems like an eternity. My mind is fluttering and work is just not on the agenda

I finally found a place to stay in sevilla and then realized that I've got no freaking credit card to make the booking. damn it. what a pain in the arse... I forgot about this. Why don't I have a credit card again? hmm dunno? oh yes, i remember... it's because they're eeeeeeeeevil!

As part of my gentle induction into tube travel I took it again this morning... *shudders* oh wait... we got paid today... yipee!

Perhaps some strawberry tea might kill some time...

gosh sean's blog is tres drole as of late!

this morning on my way to the gym...

I passed one of the 'working girls' who was standing on the corner a block away from my flat... she was wearing a cowboy outfit... complete with little fringed skirt and hat that was dangling from a string and hanging down her back. This is a very new marketing initiative, by either her or her pimp (assuming she has one). As I walked by I gave her a meak smile... she is human after all I can't just pretend she doesn't exist. She responded with a very timid 'hello' I looked her in the eyes and tried to give a very quick but reassuring greeting back to her... and I kept on walking. The poor thing. She couldn't be older than 16... My heart broke into a million pieces for her. I mean, there is no way that she wasn't humiliated by standing around in an outfit like that on a suburban street corner. The world is a yucky place sometimes.

Had a very good work out this morning... detox is definitely on the cards this week as this weekend involved more drinking than biking... although there was biking involved... there was also, cleaning and resting and hangovers... Saw Jo jo and her sister on the weekend too which is always fun. Jojo is looking super fly with her very ultra trendy hair style. She can really pull it off. It looks straight from the Vidal Sassoon workshop!

I've booked my flight and I'm very nervous but I'm off to Sevilla again soon... you never know unless you try... and if the meeting doesn't go well... I still have a nice mini holiday! I think getting old must be making me go a bit soft as doing something like this in the past wouldn't have fazed me one bit... but then again my life has been pretty hectic as of late so that can't help.

Meeting up with the lovely Micha tonight to hear all about her loved up holiday in Thailand! T'will be a non alcoholic meeting for me! *heh*
