It's hot and it's wet, which is good in a woman but bad in a city.

From the words of the Immortal Roosevelt E. Roosevelt, it's damn hot! You have to love british weather. Two days ago, Katy was so cold that I had to turn the heating on. Tonight, my allergies are making me miserable because it's so damn hot and muggy. Joy. It's been a while since I didn't have the energy to move because I've been sneezing a dozen times in a row.

Spent the day in Leicester looking at possible vroom-vrooms for Katy. If she gets the job at Huntington, she'll need a car to commute. There are a few nice Nissan Micras out there that looked mighty tempting but Katy decided to wait until she had a clear confirmation about the job before singing her name to the dotted line. The job situation is rearing its ugly head again. Had a rather rough night because of some of its side-effects; mostly stressful ones. Her current job is making our life difficult in ways that have no easy fix. I know she's given her notice, and she only has 3 weeks left to go at that damned place. I just hope it doesn't break anything that can't be mended.

Going to be a slow day tomorrow hopefully. I need a good night's sleep that doesn't involve bad dreams. Still in Leicester tomorrow cause it's father's day. Going to have lamb for dinner. Had curry tonight. Hmmmm, curry.

Weekend in review

Posted on May 31, 2005 By admin 3 Comments on Weekend in review

Today, I am happy.

That, in itself, means little, to be honest, but it's the culmination of a lot of worries. I love my job, I love my Katy, I love my apartment. Touch wood, things will continue on this merry way *touches wood*.


I had a nice weekend. Lots of yummy spicy food, waaaay too much pig, lots of money spent.

I bought a VCR (which raised my blood pressure – SCART leads are evil, so are NTL boxes) and a little HI-FI for the bedroom. Yesterday, Katy and I went to The Pier and other swanky shops on Fitzroy street for stuff to add a bit of colour to the apartment. Got some nice cushions for the couch and the rocking chair. I seriously need to go back to the open-air market in the city center because I'm drooling over the batik fabric throws. I'm seriously going to spend some money there next pay. It has beautiful stuff, but as Katy says, we need to unpack and place all the schwag we have in boxes before we get more.

I'll be posting pictures of the apartment as soon as things get settled.

Quote of the day

"That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?"
