Coming soon

Due to technical difficulties (i.e. my 'phone line playing up again), posting the events of my Paris trip has been postponed.

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Incredibly Amusing Joke

Due to popular demand (i.e. one person) I have decided to post the now famous (infamous?) joke:

Did you hear about the man who drowned in his museli?

He was swept away by the currants.

My chops have been published. Click on “More Samples” for the evidence. Although I am now officially an Empress, you only have to refer to me as “Your Imperial Highness” on special occasions.

Conclusion

Having studied my hair under varying degrees of light, I can agree that it is brown.

Hair Dye

I decided that it was time to re-dye my hair but having felt I was missing my natural dark brown, I bought “Intense Dark Brown” instead of the “Intense Deepest Red… thingy wotsit”. It was a different brand and the advantages of this brand far outweighed the disadvantages over the previous one:

1) The mixture was thicker so found itself less willing to escape to the walls.
2) The dye took ten minutes to rinse out instead of forty-five minutes.
3) The protective gloves were of poor quality and split.

I found that the end result was not “Intense Dark Brown” but was black.

Leeloo says it is actually brown.

DK says it is actually brown.

Now I can’t decide. I think it may be black in some places and brown in others.

At any rate, it’s darker than my natural colour, I like it and I can go around scaring people.

Chelmsford – Holiday Capital of the Milky Way

The UFO has come back.

This time it has brought with it a friend. The friend is different from the other in that it moves about the sky and it glows intermittently. In all other respects it is the same. The same size, the same shape, the same twinkly lights (when they are on).

I had managed to convince myself after the original sighting that it was a cluster of stars or an aeroplane or something. I have now become unconvinced.

Trains

The great thing about using public transport in order to commute to work is that when you forget to set your alarm and wake up three quarters of an hour after you should have left your house, you can blame your late arrival at work on the trains and be totally believable.

Happy Birthday!

To me!

Again!

It is now exactly one year since I moved into my very own house!

Price Labels

There are far too many women walking around with price labels still stuck to the bottom of their shoes.

I am proud to say I am not one of them.

I have decided, starting from tomorrow, to count them on the way to work between Liverpool Street Station and... work.
