I really really...

like this site it's a great little daily writing exercise... I'm far from brilliant but some of the entries are just terrible.

some days just will never end... this is one of them. Went to Harvey Nic's at lunch (guided there by Tasha) I'm so out of my bearings around this part of town... Almost got run over by a Bentley on my way back to the office and just when I thought I was safe a Rolls Royce nearly got me... I tell no lies.

This weekend should be eventful... busy busy.

Happy Yankee day...

so yea my blogging has been short as of late

but some things don't require many words

one of those things is a comment uttered by our designer in our production meeting we had on Tuesday... he was speaking of this new navigation system that they're trying to bodge...

'for a three legged dog, it's got a real shiny nose'

I leave you with that!

*laughs*

Oh...

how the smallest things can change your life... I just need to say how much I LOVE Vanilla diet coke!... now where can i find me some diet cherry coke?

it could get...

worse... the commute in the morning is worse than imagined... long, hot... squished...

At lunch today I walked up to the Chelsea Holmes Place to see if I was going to switch my membership over to there... HA! It's a dive. It's got a lovely pool but the rest of the place is small with low ceilings, narrow corridors... It's amazing how branding can make rich people go there even though it's clearly crap. So now I'm clean out of options... unless I leave my membership at Holmes place and join a new club near here... pay the ridiculous joining fee... god it makes me want to not be healthy. Well not quite but it sure makes life difficult!

The circus school orientation was brilliant. What fun! I think I'm going to go to one of the drop in tumbling classes next week... I also liked the balance stuff they showed us as well... Eventually once I have some money again *laughs--- we all know that will never happen* I'm going to take a trampoline class!

Here is a pic that the lovely Natasha took of me this morning... you'll see the glory of our new office... look my desk is almost clean!

Happy Canada Day everyone... and, Happy Birthday Duffy Denise!

"have a nice night..."

I said to the Indian man working in the shop where I picked up some things on my way home last night... It was one of those strange shops in Dalston that sells mainly African beauty products... He responded in the most peculiar way... with a great sadness in his voice. 'but i'm alone'. Don't get me wrong, we wasn't at all saying it in a tone where he was subversely looking for some company in me! No, he truly was lonely. I responded... ' you're only as alone as you feel' like hello? Sarah? that makes no sense... I was trying to say something nice and sympathetic but it came out all wrong... Being alone is strange after you've had a partner for a while... it's like getting to know yourself all over again... it's hard work but worth it. I wish I could have said something more clever to him.

We've found a flat! It's just south of Angel in Barnsbury... really nice flat. We move on the 21st! I'm so glad all that flat hunting is done. More info later... as I truly can not be arsed to go through all the hoo ha. Plus perhaps it's best that I not write the exact location of my flat on the blog....

I had a moment of trauma this morning as I signed away 75£ to the man at the tube station... Signing away my fate to travel by tube every morning to this new office. I'm having major culture shock as it's just so posh here it's impossible to describe. Ladies who lunch are everywhere... GUCCI accross the road and Joseph on the corner... there is no lack of swish shops and such in this area. The new office it's self is nice and bright and they've re-arranged where everyone sits, so it's interesting. The air con is brutal and we're all freezing to death!

I'm off to circus school orientation tonight. I hope to do some of the tumbling classes they offer... I can't wait! I feel kind of nutty after this day... I wish every work day started at 11am rather than 9am!
