Well that’s if for me for this year…
Off to the great white north and the land of Canadia as my friends call it here…
The manic schedule however, appears to be following me… no rest until at least the end of January…
I am impressed as last night I managed to pack everything within 15 mins and still manage to collect all of miss B’s things for Thailand. Damn I’m good under pressure…
Off to el aeropuerto in a few mins…
Happy Ho HO!

Can I just say....
That xmas bonuses are very nice... so yea the tax man takes his share but you won't see me saying no to free cash!
Finally got a flat and am moving in early January... which is brilliant as moving before xmas was a bit of a daunting prospect. Now I can do the diry work right after I get back. Moving to the wilds of west London is a bit daunting but having a lovely terrace and being dead close to the tube and kensinton gardens will be great! It's going to be so strange as I have been such a north/east london dweller since I moved here...
Saw Alex and Dearbhla and Dani and Carolyn last night... Alex is doing well and is soon of to Oz and has a lot of adventures planned for the coming year... The Irish girls were in good form and as always, it was lovely to catch up with them all!
Six more sleeps till I fly home. No xmas shopping done... except for Mr. McCann... lucky devil! When will I find the time???

Having a holiday was most fantastic
I think sometimes you work so hard you forget what it’s like to just do nothing for an entire week. I ended up in Cadaques with le boi… We had such a chilled out week… Brilliant thing really, just before the xmas rush. I’ve still not started shopping yet and am wistfully thinking back to a few years ago when I finished all my shopping before the beginning of December….
The large ball of fire has returned over the skies of London town… It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it… even in Spain it was grey and rainy and cold… I’m looking forward to going home… even if it is helli cold at least there is always lots of sunshine!
I’m continuing the flat hunting search this Saturday and am lined up to see a few more flats… I’m hoping I can find something… then at least we can move next weekend and put an end to this palarva.
I’ve got pictures a plenty… from the hols… just need to download them…
Big office 10 year anniversary party tomorrow night… what to wear what to wear?

My seestor
Strangely thinks I’m wise… the case was not so last night-when I attempted to do my hair… I’ve been using this product for the last 6 months… and am quite happy with it… until last night my brain ceased to function… and in one foul swoop I managed to mix the bleach into the colour developer… the whole kit down the drain presto! So frustrating… one of those times that I wished I was still back in Canada so I could pop down to Shoppers Drugmart and simply procure another kit right away… not so much the case when you’re living were I do… ho hum… I’m smiling about it today.
Saw a really nice flat in Notting Hill last night… Trying to sort out some final details and arrange a second viewing for Saturday… although it’s kind of the last thing I’m going to want to be doing Saturday… Ahh well… it’s a cool place and it has a nice balcony schweet…
Off to meet the Dearbhla!

Could it be…
That my sister is harbouring some transatlantic romance of which she has not clearly articulated? Would it be an LON-TOR or a TOR-HONG liason? Who knows… she seems to be keeping it all very close to her chest… It’s rather unlikely that more information will become available anytime soon… but one can but try.
The week is choca-booked already… viewing flats again tonight and tomorrow a long time coming catch up with Dearbhla and then Matty’s leaving drinks Thursday… the le boi arrives Friday. Then a week of blissful non-work!
Dave sent me the cutest pictures of his and Lisa’s littl’uns… he’s working over in Taiwan for two weeks, thus was online just wrapping up his day when I logged in this morning… will throw the picture up in a mo…

Many years back...
I contracted this strange camp side to my speech and writing… which no doubt comes from exposure to the queen of camp… mr. mccann… but it’s stayed with me ever since… It almost always seeps out at work… I address new clients as ‘sweetie’ or ‘sweets’ or something along that line… This does lead on occasion to a bit of embarrassment… today was one of those days… a new contact that I’ve been dealing with who works at my biggest account just sent me confirmation that he raised a PO for a project that I’m managing… I responded to this email by saying ‘Thanks for the quick response sweets!’ to my horror two seconds later a message popped into my inbox from the same guy that said ‘it’s my pleasure sweetheart’ I wanted to die of embarrassment… The camp thing is a blag and it’s so embarrassing when you realise you’ve used it on someone you really don’t know!!! My face was bright red for at least ten minutes after I read it…
I’ve got fabulous eyebrows thanks to the queen of eyebrow shaping! Lord knows they were in need!!!!
Saw a ridiculously bland but massive flat in slone square last night… I swear there is quite a massive divide between the mentality of people who live in the east side of London compared to the west… the estate agent was a laugh… telling me about how he really doesn’t’ have to work but his daddy didn’t like him sitting home doing nothing…. So that’s why his daddy lined him up the estate agent job… On the side he owns a production company and a clothing line *yawn* tee hee… In the taxi back to the east the cab driver insisted on clarifying the destination as he was almost shocked that one would want to travel from Slone Square to Liverpool street. How funny!
Off for a laugh tonight with Joel and Alex and their ladies tonight… why is it that I’m always the gooseberry? Ah well! GE club is fun and I’ve not been since the madness of the beach party in the summer…
Bon weekened!

For some reason...
My seestor seems to have re-named herself Kate… perhaps a re-birth of sorts… says the woman who insists in spelling her name with two rr’s online.
Her visit was most excellent and fun… although we joked that she is the grim reaper when it comes to my relationships… seems that everytime she comes to visit, I end up ending the relationship I’m in at the time… too funny… didn’t happen this time but who knows what the new few days will bring.
We shopped and sipped cocktails and had a really fun time. The hardest part is when she leaves… rings home how much I miss her and the rest of my family… then re-confirms the confusion that I feel sometimes as I’ve been away for so long my ‘home’ seems like a foreign place… and my current ‘home’ feels more like an inbetween stop… don’t know where I really should be… perhaps I really do have a nomadic soul and need to move on a regular basis.
One of our adventures we had this weekend happened Sunday at the vibe bar, it involved the very juvenile game of taking pictures of our cleavage (including boys at the table) and then sending the best one which was obviously jojo (she does have an F cup after all) via Bluetooth to unsuspecting patrons of the bar… … oh how we laughed… no one managed to engage and send a picture back… maybe that’s a good thing?
I’ve had my holiday approved and now am going to be off for the week of the 29th. Dear lord how I need a break… then when I get back only 2 weeks of work left and then I’m off home and not back at work until the 4th of Jan. Now I’ve just got to figure out what I can do during that time… perhaps best to do nothing and just lay low… who knows…

Shopping!
Cecile and I went to H&M at lunch today to check out the new Karl Lagerfeld collection… it was kind of manic. People were snapping it up like it was on fire! I bought two tops and some sunglasses J probably better off to sell them on ebay… or keep… who knows…
While at the shop I received a phone call… a lovely serenade in Spanish from someone who is mostly---- seemingly always in Spain. He was in such a good mood, it’s kind of infectious… what a sweetheart.
Saw a lovely flat last night in Farringdon… not the best location for all parties concerned but it was massive! So who knows… we may be a step closer to finding something…
Kaffin arrives in just a few short hours… she’s so excited and so am I… she’s done her shopping for us gals at Mac! Can’t beat the exchange rate!
Bring on the eternal weekend!

It’s kind of strange...
The most recent massive attack cd is playing right now in the studio… it always makes me think of my room… I had it in the cd player in my room (back when I had one) and I would listen to it all the time… I’m so relaxed when I hear it… but it’s admittedly strange to hear it while at work…
The weekend will bring great adventures… Sally arrives tomorrow morning… It’s Matt’s b’day today and he’s celebrating tomorrow night… then Saturday ze seestor arrives and so does Darryl! It’s a weekend of cannucks!
I’ve got about 2 pages worth or resources to book this week… I’m dreading the meeting… anyone want to go in my place?
I took this picture this morning… it was the strangest thing… I can’t believe how much I’ve aged… check out the wrinkles… It’s amazing… you always feel kind of ageless… like perma 18 or something like that… but I think time has finally bit me on the bum… bring on the expensive wrinkle creams…
