I’m so efficient
Yes, I’m so amazingly good at my job that I’ve done all my meetings, sent all my emails and still have a couple of hours to spare before I have to go to the airport. Aren’t I brilliant?*
So, what can I say … well, I’m off to The Motherland tonight. Flight’s at 10pm, but I’m […]

Bastardo
oj is being spammed by something Italian, so I’ve had to turn moderation on re comments. What a pain in the arse!

2 more days …
Yes, just over 48 hours (53, to be exact!) to go before I go on that flight back to The Motherland. Can’t wait - especially as we’ve been hit with a spell of wintry weather (it even snowed in London last night!) these past couple of days, and tomorrow is meant to be even colder! […]

Friends in High Places
It was off to the in-laws’ for lunch yesterday, in honour of a friend who’d got a new job in London, having spent the previous eight or so years in Washington. I’d never met this friend, but learnt that he worked for a fairly influential foreign policy think-tank there.
During the course of the lunch, it […]

Blank
I’m bored. My mind is a blank. I can’t think of anything to blog about today. I started off writing something about the whole Celebrity Big Brother debacle, but I couldn’t be bothered to write a proper blog about an event.
Instead, here I am. Bored. For the past few days, I’ve not had much to […]

I’ve haaaadd … the time of my liiiiiiiiffffe
Yes, I went to see Dirty Dancing last night … ohmygod!!!! (Obviously I enjoyed it )
So, if I put on my critic hat on, I have to say, it was so-so. I’ve seen better shows and better acting.
However, as a fan of Dirty Dancing the movie, I have to say, the stage version was […]

Done it now
Sent a long email to journalist who asked if she could interview me for one of the dailies back home. Yes, I’m doing it. Oh, and (after some consultation with the SPG and Hubby) I’ve also sent a picture of myself. Eek. What have I got myself into?
God, I hope it turns out OK. I […]

It’s an Age Thing
I know I’m getting older. I know I’m no spring chicken. Although I don’t really think about my age that much, I know that I’m 32.
Yet knowing all these things didn’t prepare me for the shock of actually looking at my face.
OK, I know. Melodrama time. I view my face every day. I can’t pass […]

London Mornings
I’ve never been a morning person. It was always a killer, the morning session at school. Fortunately university helped sort things out, in that I didn’t have to be a morning person because my earliest lectures were invariably at 10am - and I could stay up as late as I wanted since I didn’t have […]

2 weeks and 2 days
… before we fly out back to The Motherland! Hurray! I can’t wait!
As it is, I’ve made my mother very happy by getting her to organise a mini get-together that I want to have with some friends. I wondered if she’d mind, but to quote her: “Oh don’t worry, after all I organised your wedding […]
