Might've Chubbed Up A Bit...?
So, I’m turning the big 2-3 a week on Monday and I’m feeling excessively analytical about how my life has turned out thus far and the choices I’ve been making.

Dread (a million fold)
Having over a week off work and having not set foot in the office since last year has increased my Sunday Monday night dread by about 4000 per cent.
I just do not want to get up at 6.30 am and traipse to work to sit in front of a computer. I have a general bad feeling about the whole concept of work. That is what a week off will do to you. It makes you question your current situation. I’ve...

Feliz año nuevo!
We saw in the New Year by cooking a Mexican feast, complete with a spicy salsa and tequila-heavy lager-itas. After we were suitably stuffed we sat down and watched telly until there was no more telly to be watched. It was a pretty decent way to welcome 2012.

Cry Baby
Great Expectations has only been on for five minutes and I’m already blubbing. Dirty children handing out pork pie to strangers really gets me.

– My Mum’s boyfriend on my mum’s Christmas drunken adventure
Ahhh Boxing Day, it always consists of watching telly and writing millions of lists about how I’m going to be completely different (and better) next year.
Today is Christmas decorating day!

W.I
I’m off to the local W.I meeting this evening. I am terrified. I am not used to going to places alone and meeting new people. What if they don’t like me? What if they laugh at me? Why am I going?!

Ornaments
Anthony (holding two nautical themed ornaments): where should I put these?
Me: In the bathroom.
Anthony: Maybe on this table?
Me: In the bathroom.
Anthony: Where in the bathroom? On the sink
Me: On the window sill!
Anthony: Booooring.

Weekend
Ate some stew with one of The Beatles
I went charity shopping and bought some brilliant things for the flat. This chalkboard is my favourite.
Okay, I need to get my hands on an actual camera and stop taking millions of yellowy iPhone photos. They make everything look disgusting but it’s all really lovely. This weekend has been sort of nothing-y but the flat is feeling more...
Today I feel like I don’t really exist. Everyone else gets that too, right?
