Dear Diary

Sunglasses, to me, serve more than just the practical purpose of preventing me from being blinded by sunlight (especially whilst driving, hence the tinted yellow as opposed to black). They also act as a defence mechanism, providing me with a barrier between me and the world, the physical helps me step outside the throng and [...]



It was a bit of a lost day, really. The odd weather and tiredness (remnants of a hangover from Saturday night) had me in a funny mood, a bit short and snippy with the rest of the world. Cleaning the house and helping with dinner preparations had resulted in overexertion of my sore shoulder, and [...]



Went out for a night on the town with the lasses last night - hurrah! I’m far, FAR too hungover to type much, but thought I’d share the three memorable photos from the evening (excuse the craptastic quality but they were taken with my phone)

Hallo there…do you want a pineapple? Sorry, I don’t actually have one, but I thought I’d be polite and offer one anyway, I was just hoping you’d say no.
Just had my second shower for the day as alas the first one seemed to have worn off, so here I sit, dripping all over the floorboards [...]



JUST when I’d gotten to a point where I had given up hope, had come to terms with it and put him out of my fuckin’ mind, he then calls. Which, admittedly, sent my heart racing just a little, false hope! He called just to confirm his disinterest, putting himself in my fuckin’ head again.
It’s [...]



Interestingly enough, whenever the folks have guests scheduled, *I’m* the one who ends up absolutely run off my feet. There was the mad houseclean last weekend, which was resumed today as well as completely reorganizing all the storage space in the kitchen and lounge, then there was the aesthetic reorganizing of various display areas which [...]
