    Does a lady ever reveal her age?

    Edit: Cross posted with SC, evidently yes!

    Not in real life, though there seems a constant conversation about who is and who isn't (still) in their forties.

    + in the interests of our health.

    Another issue is revealing my weight, which really is a no, no. OH has booked for us to see the grand canyon by plane and they need to know my weight. It is almost enough to make me decline the excursion.

    Changing the subject.

    Want to book a show in LA. Choosing between a musical or a concert. Any opinions. Also there are 8 versions of cirque de soleil on at the moment. I've seen it once here, is it a case of once you've seen one you should go for something else?

    I agree with Viva. Seen one, seen em all imo.

    Penn & Tellers show is meant to be awesome. If I could afford LA, I'd see them.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Relieved to say that of my 30 chilli plants it appears that only 6 didn't make it. The others are fine (so far).

    Sunshine forecast for the remainder of the month. Hope that'll help the garden grow...

    In other news, there is the possibility that I will become a published model soon!

    I wonder if one loves London more if one comes for occasional visits rather than working here every day?

    I think when you work in London you can forget what an amazing place it is. It's hard work but you can get a lot out of it too.

    Meetings went well BTW.

    I'm off on August 3rd to Georgia, but if you fancy a coffee before, PM me. I'm either about 40 minutes from London, or in West London, depending on what I'm doing.

    Are they legal? http://www.sussex.ac.uk/careers/gettingexperience/unpaidinternships

    Technically, yes.

    We have several students volunteering in our place of work, from a specialist school, and I think MSE Towers foes this too.
