Breaking Through, Travelling On

Karmacat

Right, where am I today? England, definitely ... and otherwise:
- phone my business partner, I've double booked our meeting on Monday but since its only on a Monday because he doubled booked our usual day on Tuesday, its his fault really
- phone restaurant and make booking for mid-December, this really has *got* to get done.
[STRIKE]- walk to town centre: banking, 2nd Oxfam voucher (collect and spend), Iceland for veg.[/STRIKE]
- pruning and weeding.[STRIKE] Admire yesterday's accomplishments in the garden [/STRIKE]
- wash hair and lop a bit off the bottom
- investigate publishers for my now-28,500 word book.

Good list there! :j :rotfl: at you both double booking your meeting most amusing definitely his fault :rotfl:

Impressed at your pruning - I am jist steeling myself to get dressed and do the same! Got to lop off some lilac so the roofer can fix the slate that came off in January... :rotfl: Will look a bit daft out there in my dressing gown though, however cosy it is...

Its good, isn't it

Forgot one thing on the list - an hour's CPD, as the BACP is putting the AGM online this year, password protected by membership number ... I'm a little concerned at my download speed, but even if I can't see it live, they're podcasting it later.

Cheery, stay warm!

you will love it KC ... did it myself a few years ago ...then went a wee bit further ( as you do ) it is an interesting "therapy" and will change your life if you want it to

- [STRIKE]phone my business partner[/STRIKE], I've double booked our meeting on Monday but since its only on a Monday because he doubled booked our usual day on Tuesday, its his fault really
Phoned him, left a message ... I can't help it if he's a gadabout, thats why he changed the meeting in the first place

- phone restaurant and make booking for mid-December, this really has *got* to get done.
No **wails**

Simples, when you get round to it. Bought a pair of slipper booties for me, a bloke's scarf for a Christmas present, and some of their birthday cards, £5 off, hurray.
And I used my Iceland points card for the very first time, it'll be interesting to see how [STRIKE]much [/STRIKE] little that brings in

- pruning and weeding.[STRIKE] Admire yesterday's accomplishments in the garden [/STRIKE]

- wash hair and lop a bit off the bottom [/STRIKE]
Yes! Has anybody seen the fuss about a Helen Mirren type cut for older women? Thats what I'm aiming for - the pic on wikipedia of her at Comic Con four years ago, is representative ... I can't just drag my hair back with a bobble for the rest of my life, I don't like it any more anyway

- investigate publishers for my now-28,500 word book.

Yep, its just finished, which is why I'm online at this weird hour on a Friday
And I was faffing about with my bookmarks, because its an AGM and its natural to lose the will to live, and realised I could order the thing my mum wanted for Christmas, and collect it on Monday, after I visit my partner. Who *still* hasn't replied to me :rotfl:

I was much longer in town than I thought, which is why lots of stuff I really thought I'd do, just didn't get done. I'm rubbish at estimating that.

Off to cook some food right now - its winter now, so my appetite triples :rotfl:

Most of my serious posts are not 100% humour-free, and most of my funny posts are not 100% serious-point free.

Never quite got over a newspaper in Dubai with a headline along the lines of 'Dubai moving towards self-sufficiency' - read the article and it said they no longer need to import dates :rotfl:.

Well you know - baby steps...

Z, good points there. Fancy Ronald Reagan saying that! Thats a great saying, very concise, very realistic.

It is actually a Russian proverb. It was said by Reagan in the context of a disarmament/arms limitation treaty. When satellites flew over, the Russians and the Americans would open the silo doors so the other side could verify that the various silos did (and did not - in numbers according to treaty) contain SS-18s, SS-17s, Peacekeeper and other missiles.

Given these missiles could smear a large city over the area of a large country, it was a reasonably serious matter.

Morning! Its quiet on the boards, on my bit of them, anyway - which means we're really, really really in the countdown to Christmas. I do nearly all my shopping online, even stocking fillers, unless I have a voucher I need to use in person, like yesterday, and as far as social stuff goes, I'm an isolationist little sod, so nothing huge. Though I'm off out fairly soon to see my sister, to the country walk I found last month.

Might be as well to use the time before then to actually do some Christmas-type stuff myself even getting the cards out would be a start!

I geddit! :j It's only been in the last 10 years or so since I lost touch with what's in the charts. When they all went in to the studio last week for the new Band Aid single, I only recognised about 3 of them

I have isolationist tendencies too, fortunately so does Mr Goldie, so we don't do social stuff that often. When we do go out I enjoy it, but just don't want to do it all the time. In fact I'd find it very challenging to be out several times a week


I found Simple Living in Suffolk earlier in the week. I only had a quick look, but I'd like to read more.


Our Christmas cards are now out of the loft - maybe I can do a couple a day. Writing the cards out is not something I relish.


Hope you have a nice walk and it's not too damp

I managed:
Bob Geldof
Midge Ure
Roger Taylor
Bono
Sinead O'Connor

then from the youngsters:
Olly Murs
someone that may or may not have been Paloma Faith (she wears red lipstick doesn't she?)
someone that may or may not have been Ed Sheeran on the basis I think he had red hair
and I think I saw Harry Styles

Does that make me hip and happening? Thought not :rotfl:

ETA - can I reclaim my street cred on the basis that I've seen Prodigy live . Was at V Festival '97 :eek:.
