Bruised and aching, but life goes on.....
Finally understand how that story reached Evelyn. Though there's a couple of people to whom I should talk, and yes, that's pretty cryptic, but it'll have to do. LiveJournal isn't the place for these dicussions.
Friday - hmm went home, fed everyone a pasta concoction created by my sister but produced by me, since she was playing on MSN - what is it with kids and abuse of the English language?? ffs - all they have to do is *learn to type*, that'd get rid of so much of the need for abbreviation and stuff. Saturday spent at home with Helen, having a lie in, helping with French homework - and having to get a piece of paper out to write down the present tenses of avoir and etre, to help her form the perfect tense.... Learnt about capital gains tax and corportation tax for tonight.
Sunday - got up 6.45am ish, left the house 7.30am - went to Alexandra Palace, helped my mother for the day, resisted buying lots of nice wool - 'cos I don't know what I'd do with it, besides anything else. Then packed up - it took almost two and a half hours for the three of us to clear the stand and pack the van - hence the aches and bruises. Went in search of Wood Green tube station - stopped at the bus stop to map read, and a bus happened to come past while I was still struggling with map reading, so got on it, got to Wood Green, took the Picadilly line to Caledonian Road, thought about going to see a couple of friends who live near there, but decided I actually wanted to go home. Walked to Caledonian Road & Barnsbery(sp) Overground, and got the Silverlink home. Got in about 8.30ish. The above demonstrates how important a knowledge of London is in being able to get around the city. If you just used a tube map, you wouldn't know there was an overground service at all - much less that you could walk between those two stations.... Ready meal, Silent Witness, news and panorama followed. /me wants to throttle the Catholic church's stance on contraception. IRCed, couldn't catch up on my friends list - which I've done this morning, sort of.
Oh yes - I get 30 free minutes each month on my evil device. Please could you all suggest how I can make more use of them? It's really silly right now - I try to avoid using it, 'cos I think I've already used lots, and then get my bill telling me I've not used any, and that I've carried over 30mins to the following month, and have 60 to use in a month!
