Today:
- laughs with E2
- re-watched all the episodes of Charlie the Unicorn and it made me laugh and brought back good memories
- finished a book which was quite good (and had the compulsory happy ending!)
- when I dropped my iPad it only cracked on the very edge and not the actual screen
^ Descendants (Disney, 2015), was great and has a really good soundtrack.
Today;
Had a really good shift at work.
Strutted down the street to catch my bus this morning listening to my Musicals playlist.
Saw my Dad.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
Today:
- had some laughs on the journey to the airport
- everyone lived up to their promises in the pre-car-interview and did not get car sick
- enjoyed a game of New Testament top trumps
- fortunately I'm due an upgrade anyway, so accidentally leaving my phone in Italy isn't the worst thing in the world
- currently chilling in first class on the train to The Great North with a gourmet sausage roll and a hot cho
Oh yes, good suggestion Lio! Though it took her so long to upload the jpg last time she had new hair, it'll probably be wiser for me to take the picture when I see her next and post it myself :P
Does your phone also not allow you to reply to FB messages?
Gawd, thanks for publicly outing me Lana o_O

These last few days have been really balanced, relaxed and lovely.
Have visited lots of new places (the history here is amazing) and several (mini) country parks/nature reserves and long walks exploring and sat reading by the sea.
Visited a museum & beach after my interview which I discovered once I'd got there had the start of a weeks worth of Festival and bought a ticket to a concert, and dug my toes into sand :D
Got offered the job after my trial shift, en route met some lovely people who work on the railways, chatted for ages with them whilst waiting for my train.
Last trains home, joining in singing with drunken groups in their 60's and thinking it was mad I knew the words to the older than them songs haha
Several new TV shows to devour.
Enjoying The Cuckoo's Calling
Got given a lift to one of the nature reserves by a man who puts on types of events I used to go to as a kid?! such a coincidence haha and then walked back the same way through such a Tudor-y/fallen back in time place
Discovered a boat yard where everyone was friendly/repairing their boats
The weather has been amazing for all of this. Feels like a mini holiday on my doorstep (and slightly beyond!)
'What came first, the phoenix or the flame?'
'I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning'
-I smashed Pokemon go and still got **** done.
-Did a vaguely productive Aldi shop, but forgot to buy pork and salmon #gobshite
-Went for a big explore in my new area.
-Got excited by the amount of high tier shops in a small vicinity practically on my doorstep.
-Work was mellow and we finished early.
-Last night/early hours was my flatmate's birthday and there was prosecco and export strength Smirnoff.
-J was really helpful with suggestions and alterations to my CV, encouraged me to add things I wouldn't have otherwise. Feeling overall more confident with it now.
-Unexpected coinciding day off.
-I was quite heroically saved from a spider ABOVE MY BED.
-Gordon and her taste in bedding kills me.
-Again for the people in the back row, DAY OFF TODAY
Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again
This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.
Had a lovely lovely weekend.
Planning nice things for my day off on Friday.
I wore a pretty dress yesterday.
Will hopefully see work friends when I go in today.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
