    #Called old phone provider to make some arrangements.

    Hello gang,
    Keeping on with the small things today, like cycling to work and bringing in soup for lunch.
    Also, excitingly, started a new job! So, I've got two on the go now. Both flexible, so that I can still go up for auditions and the like.
    Feeling pretty good about finally embracing life as a serious DFW!

    OK, Allydowd, so what's funny about joss sticks? Will admit to being a bit hippyfied......it's me age! Also have runestones, pendulum, a collection of books on herb lore, some hideous striped over-the-knee socks & a weekend booked in Glastonbury. Tell you what though......joss sticks ain't what they used to be. These ones (& I've got a whole box of the b*ggers) have no stick, just entirely made from compressed incense powder so they break & crumble all over the place & burn for about 3 nanoseconds!

    I was laughing at my memory of a "blonde moment":

    Our Hall of Residence smelled of them when I first arrived and I was so naive back then I thought it was drugs being burned!
