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.
