    She seems a good catch. Did you get her number. Did you find out what her passport policy is?




    Your a Taurean viva, course you realised ;)

    She seemed to have a boyfriend (or "admin" as it's otherwise known). She wasn't foreign enough more me anyway. I did get chatted up my a Swedish bird last night though. This sort of thing never happens so I found it all rather odd and somewhat unsettling. I think she had had about 50 reverse jaegers though which probably explains it.

    Frozen to the bone, :(

    About half way through that digging over, but think we have been sloppy about weed root removing, and that's gonna bite us in the butts later. :(.

    Even though it's very thin planting and not tall it's helping remove the very naked and exposed feeling of the hedge going and the teeny tiny replacement hedges. We have only dug it as a very narrow border though, planning to do a strip infront of it next spring, and it looks really mean and the opposite of beutiful planting.

    Would have been fine on public transport and an opportunity to read for a bit. But there are no trains today, which is probably a reason why the traffic is even worse than normal. I think i read somewhete that SW London has the worst traffic in Europe although not sure if I have just made that up.
    I've had to put up with lots of naff Sunday drivers in my part of SW London today. Your train info goes some way to explain it. What with misskool 's replacement bus hassles, we're not exaclty making London and points south look viable as place to travel in. We're meant to have the best public transport in the world I once heard. God lknows what evryone else has to put up with.:eek:

    That's probably an insular viewpoint from somebody living handily in the posh parts, who uses taxis and chauffeur driven cars to get to stations/airports, before settling into 1st class .... and rarely actually having to go more than half a mile most of the time anyway.

    However, expected this (trouble accessing kitchen again) ..... so also picked up a reduced sandwich "just in case", so that was my tea instead :)

    Yeah, and a pretty typical one. I still didn't realise though... Honest.

    Anyone else watching the cliff diving on Dave? They're mad!

    Had shower, lit fire, now even colder...how does that work?

    Anyone want to come and snuggle up? I'll call in the dogs in a minute to pile up on top of me. :)

    Wednesday night the heating should be on.

    Oh, LIR!!

    Stoves take an age to warm the place up, and you do need to keep warm. The weather has turned colder, and it's nearly December, so maybe you deserve a fire on nearly all day.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I haven't really been in most of the day, because I have been in the garden and on the yard. Only came in at about four.

    The dogs have had an electric heater on :) ad I have just witches an electric heater on in our room. My parent has had an electric heater on in their room all day.

    I would have had the fire on if I were in here, the pills I am on now make the cold pretty darn uncomfortable tbh.

    What I am most looking forward to is a HOT BATH. I might spend a whole day in the bath, reading lots of books and refilling with hot water as it cools down. :A

    And, I think I am going to have some cocoa tonight, after a glass of wine. Warming up from within.:T
