Blogging Update By Bullet Points

• I have bloggers block
• I've been very busy at work
• Had a very busy social life over the last couple of weekends
• Went to No Strings Cabaret and Burlesque night last weekend
• Burlesque is heaps of fun; risque rather than raunchy
• Corsets are impossible to put on without assistance
• They really do heave everything in and up!
• It won't take much pursuading to put it on again, though apparently, I need it in a smaller size!
• I definitely will get a different skirt. Not so much skirt as frilly belt
• And no, there are no pictures. Don't even ask.
• I've been suffering from Domestic Urges
• Last weekend, I had a hankering to make a Roast Chicken
• I am out of practice. My timings were all wrong with the roasties
• It still tasted good
• Since then I have cooked *and* done dishes
• My laundry is out of control, the floordrobe currently rules
• I don't care
• It's a good thing I don't share my bedroom with anyone else.
• My Boy is now 18 years old
• He is now the responsible adult in the house
• He enjoys being carded now
• He is enjoying going out for legal drinks with his mates
• He now has part of his tattoo done
• It is quite spectacular and we can't wait until January when it gets finished
• Funny, how it just looks so right on him
• He's proud of it and himself, I'm proud of him too
• I've been watching loads of groovy dvds
• They include: Harold and Maude, Moon, Touch of Zen and last night there was Men Who Stare at Goats
• Tomorrow night, I'm off to the cinema to see Puss in Boots
• You can tell I'm so High Brow in my entertainment, can't you?
• Since seeing Nobodaddy, I've been in a Bluegrass frame of mind
• Gillian Welch has been on repeat
• This has not been helped by the awesome gig last night
• Brooks Williams is truly awesome
• iTunes has been having quite a bit of business from me lately
• More worrying than the Domestic Urges is the fact I'm looking forward to Christmas
• Boy says he will be with me which means...duhn, duhn, DUHN....Drunken Duck
• Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, it will be Xmas pjs, naughtiness, dvds and drunken cookery
• I've been serious about buy presents from local/independent shops
• Even if it has meant me going into the City on a Saturday
• It has required me being more thoughtful, but the effort is worthwhile.
• My favourite eating/drinking place on Unthank Road, 103 has gone bust
• I am well pissed off
• It was the only place in walkable distance where I could have a meal for one, without being the sad weird woman, desperate to pick up
• It worries me how many shops are going under
• I worry for next year, I seriously do
• The World is Going to Hell in a Handbasket.
• I am looking forward to my works' dos
• Yes, you read that right, in the plural
• Friday, is the sit down, posh do for my current employment
• Monday, is the sit down, poshish do for my previous employment
• The following Friday is the not-so-posh eat and drink afternoon/evening out for current employment
• I have an awesome dress for the posh do, really looking forward to wearing it.
• Hanging around people who are passionate about the coffee and tea they drink, is contagious
• Had lunch with my ex-Course Leader today
• First cup of coffee was machine made (yes, I could really tell)
• The second cup of coffee in a different establishment had me frowning
• It tasted like it would have been good, but something had gone wrong along the line
• Round, robust flavour, but bitter, bitter aftertaste, like they'd scraped the burnt off toast
• I now have 3 different types of coffee to choose from in the morning
• Am considering buying a stove-top coffee maker.
• Speaking of things I'm considering buying...
• Miller Harris have a new fragrance out
• It is to die for
• It's called La Fumee and it's just like incense made perfume
• *drools*
• I will wait until after Xmas and the January credit card before I go nuts
• I may end up having a perfume saving pot
• But it is just, just fantastic
• Considering I've had bloggers' block, I've done quite well.
