Random Friday

Can you believe this new year is two weeks old already??? WTF?

So far this year I've managed to buy a new umbrella (it's awesome, it's this one), some CDs (how retro of me!) catch up with a couple of peeps on Failbook, sorry, Facebook, one of whom has had twins since I last saw her, go to Basingstoke, watch a lot of snooker, knit 3/4 of a sock and a bunch of shawl AND make progress on the sweater and go to work. It's going fairly well I think, the only things I haven't managed yet are winning the lottery and seducing Christian Horner. Well, the year is young :-D

Oh and I joined Twitter, but you won't find me tweeting much. I just live vicariously through other people.

Basingstoke is quite nice! I was surprised. I had a vision of it being all 70's brutalist and just plain boring but the bit I saw was okay. Admittedly it was mainly the ring road and the shopping centre (made famous by Jeremy Clarkson driving a Ford Fiesta around it) but it was pretty good. Excellent branch of Lush, which gave me a happy. And lots of samples. I likes samples. Unfortunately the super-speshul conditioner for my speshul snowflake hair isn't as good as the Aussie industrial-grade stuff, but it smells a damn sight better. The Aussie goop smells like rancid air freshener, but it works. Dilemma. Me and my first world problems, huh?

Southern Electric suck. That is all on that subject.

My former letting agents are muppets. I FINALLY got my deposit back, today. I moved out in NOVEMBER!!! Anyway, I have it. This is fortunate as I need to go buy furniture...

I have been weaving. I made a curtain for the bathroom, as I reckon my neighbours at the back can see mah boobs when I'm in the shower :-) Not that this is a great treat for them or anything...



Saori curtain. I finished it off and hung it today, so when I have some decent light I'll try and photograph it in situ. It's pretty neat, if a bit lumpy. I had the usual issues with the warp, it was so varied it was very tricky to beam it evenly, especially as I couldn't find my special card warp separator. Anyway it is done and seems to be pretty effective at blocking the boobie-view. Now I just need to make something for my lounge windows...
