Today we are not happy. We had planned a nice day out and instead spent it in B&Q and Wickes (like last weekend, and the weekend before….). Today our new front door lock broke and we couldn’t get in. So we had to break the back door down (after climbing over next doors garden wall!)….
Life
Boo hoo :(
I was hoping we might exchange contracts today but we didn’t, due to loads of difficult people in our chain. Never mind. To compensate, I dragged the boyfriend to Libertys where I looked at their beautiful material and bought some lovely pieces from their haberdashery. They have now beaten John Lewis in my estimation. Waiting…
Pirates take over the tube … sort of
This evening I spotted Mackenzie Crook on the tube at Archway! He didn’t look much like his character in The Office or Pirates of the Caribbean, but I suppose he’s a normal person when he’s not appearing in my lounge.

Bah humbug!
I have a post-office-Christmas-party-hangover, all my own fault, and am therefore feeling very sorry for myself. I am grateful I thought ahead and booked the day off.

Our new house – no more flats, ever!
Yay, this should officially be our new house in a few weeks. no more flats!

Days off…
are bliss 🙂 I took today off to do boring stuff, such as write an essay (‘analyse the impact of lesbian history on women’s history’ before you ask). Stuff that requires thought and concentration. However that can wait until tomorrow. Instead I did fun stuff – met the better half for lunch, went to see…
Higher education
It’s a shame that the only session of my postgrad course I enjoy is the session my tutor can’t make.
If I wanted to live in fear I would have moved to Baghdad
Another day of learning to live in the new London. I should explain my selfish reasons for wanting a blog. It’s because I don’t want my life to be reduced to a photograph in the Evening Standard or at the end of the evening News because I’m not here anymore. I’m a person, not a…
