The Life of Me!

Fuck. I thought this was behind me

I have now officially survived the first week of my rural stay.  I’d had some preconceived notions about what it would be like (given my previous rural experience) but it was absolutely brilliant.  I’ve even adapted to the local climate much faster than I expected.  Mum seems to enjoy having us around too – we [...]

Tomorrow marks the first official day of my week off.  T also managed to swing this week off.  I’m going to enjoy this Yesterday we managed to round up minxdragon and cainbits and finally get the four of us down to see the Illuminated Manuscripts exhibition at the State Library before it closed today.  It [...]

With rotating shifts stealing my time (and my sanity), I can only sum up life of late, so: Transformers: FTW! Work: it’s always interesting to hear what people (especially your superiors) say when they’re not thinking … T: is wonderful   As are vintage fountain pens and sparkly things

Note to self: if struck down with illness for more than one day, ensure that your sick leave does not include any weekend or night shifts – this apparently appears unprofessional … *sigh*

Fuck
