post holiday
Why is it when other people get back from holiday they have work horrors to deal with but me - I have a modicum of tedium to deal with that is marginnally more than any other day but in now way does it cause the angst that normal people have. Hmmm I so need a new job!
Holiday was not at all bad - a catalogue of drunkenness exists on my lj regarding it but overall it was not devastated by the death of Robin Cook, nor enhanced by the purchase of the sun purely because they had a front page of "see victor meldrew in the stars" (I also bought the Grauniad, it's OK I haven't gone mental). I am definately passed the days of finding the claustraphobia copeable (hence the drunkeness) but there was plenty tow path and lock action for me.
Wedding from hell was attended on the Friday - sorry but it was, even for a wedding loather such as myself, particularly bad. The bride clearly enjoyed herself, wonder if the divorce will be as much fun?
Outlaws sufferable - chap doesn't exactly ease the situation, if you behave like a bolshy git you get treated like one...Not all his fault: when someone is prone to twittering anyway so they "decide" why you are being boshy, then push you into a corner where your behaviour becomes warrented.
Lovely time with the delightful V and S - one of the most fabulous pairs and 2 of the mose fabulous individuals I have met in the last year I have to confess. Not often you can ramble accross feminism, equality (or not) issues, regeneration and other such things so freely in friendly discussion for so long.
Beautiful journey from Bristol to Leeds, then mad rushing to get stuff sorted for the Chaps trip to BUPA. See when the NHS say to you "hey you are getting towards the end of the deadline for your hearnia op, we are going to farm you out to BUPA" - do not thing "joy, private healthcare, must be better than the NHS, how else could people justify paying in tax then paying again?" think "bummer, get to experience all that is adequate with the NHS without the customer care, and information supply". I will continue to do my level best to avoid ill health as it just sucks, and if I do get ill see me at the NHS venue near me...
