(no subject)

I have had a very... grown up week so far. I have Tidied, Gardened, done Family Stuff, done Presentations in work and I have *voluntarily* gone to the dentist this morning.

But the most damning evidence of Grownupness so far this week? I BOUGHT pint glasses. Actually PAID for them. In IKEA. Farewell youth!

However I have a feeling the upcoming Road Trip to Orkney with [livejournal.com profile] thesme_01 and [livejournal.com profile] _unhurt will go some way to erasing any claims to maturity and adulthood. Must practice singing the Helpy Song.
Also driving with a clutch again. It'll be fine. FINE FINE FINE.

I HELP YOU
YOU HELP ME
WE'RE AS HELPY AS CAN BE

PS did you check out whether I can be named as a driver? I think you should, just in case...

also do I owe anyone any cash?

ooh it's weather forecast time

Also today I am going to doss instead of work.

I think A. checked and it was fine? will email her this afternoon and see! also for ferry times to/from orkney

no idea about cash, we can sort that out monday I think!

Yes yes forecast plz (am still traitorously tempted by lure of actual beds and showers rather than tent ;p).

Hurrah for dossing! i am off to meet L. for lunch, then i shall be VERY productive all afternoon. I am sure.

um, so the weather is going to be a special kind of rainy, where you don't actually see the actual rain, and the sky is a strange blue colour.

It will be chilly though? Is that any good?

no idea how warming my tent is, have only used it in summer and when v. v. drunk. not sure how easy it will be to sleep in (relatively) sober. Is it likely to be windy? Looong day driving followed by trying to put tent up in winds does not appeal ;p

no, not windy.

sorry!

Sunny, bright, dry, chilly

I BOUGHT pint glasses
Pfff, I buy at least one every year courtesy of the Great British Feerbest.
Besides, just because you buy 'some', doesn't mean you alway have to...


Road trip to Orkney?
Much envy.

Hmm. You make a good point!

And yes. Road Trip! Orkney! can't wait ;)

Orkney though, just make sure you don't end up at Uruk's Patella instead.

Oh dear. OH dear oh dear oh dear.

I have nothing to say but "Heh"

Sorry, Tolkein-related gags - a bad hobbit to get into
