Got up late, as usual.

Checked and dealt with emails.

Rode motorcycle to Barnes to see some lying client.

Rode back via Sainsbury's shopping and visit to Post office, both in Clapham because motorcycle park round the corner made it convenient to do so there.

Thought, "All that money doing out the post office in Clapham and the queue's still out the door."

Rode home, did heaps of paperwork while half watching Gosford Park and dealing with post.

Thought, "God it's great being self-employed."


Thought.

Thinking.

Pressing "Post Message".

Ooooh I had a wonderful day!

Woke up and tidied house.

Made porridge with strawberries and mixed seeds - lots of brownie points as my breakfast for the last three weeks has been a pain au chocolat in Victoria Station

Had a fantastic chat with someone which really sorted some big issues out in my head

Finally stopped procrastinating and did half of my course homework (god I feel like I'm at school again).


Giving myself a big gold star today!

Finished of a wedding book layout.

Met with my printer to review a job.

Bravely picked up the phone and made an appointment with the dentist.

Cycled to RAK studios in St.Johns Wood to see a client (and back).

Hung two pictures in the living room that I'd been meaning to do for ages.

Decided to go and see a friend in Fordcombe, Kent. Bought organic cocoa and honey to drink after planned walk there. Seethed when the train to E Croydon had to return due to some signalling problem. Got refund (the man was there). Went to Dulwich Library and got travelogues out instead.

Rang council over dog dirt signs and tree planting. Rang Coop over its increasingly crappy shop in FHR. Watched Sebastiane then Victoria Wood. (Sublime to ridiculous actually fits, here.)

Cleaned sink with bicarb of soda. Checked on wormery worms (more of them, less paper.) Spent too much time in between in EDF!

Well done Annaj, have you got a photo to show us?

Took an early 7.15 8.0am constitutional walk with an ex business partner in Dulwich park. Discovered that my shelving system had pulled out four plugs and screws and was leaninig out 6 inches from the wall, then decanted all the lever arch files on to the floor. Took car to the wash and felt better afterwards. Asda to buy basics not crowded goody goody. Lady friend arrived I signed her reference form went to bed had an orgasm she had two I bathed her then got in after she vacated it, dropped her off at the station. Now off to swim at Pulse having forummed for an hour.

Yep this was what I consider to be a smug Friday!;-)

Hmmmmmm got up up admired the beautiful sunny day & remembered to take it easy as still on Penicyllin for viral infection...


Sent email to the Mrs in Oz

Put some washing on

Juiced 3 carrots & 3 oranges with a knobble of ginger & then drank it slowly

Brief MSN with the Mrs before her system crashed.... leaving me waiting

Uncluttered my bedroom window sill & dusted, demoulded & spayed with "No More Spiders" spray

Dusted lampshade then hoovered it for a 2nd opinion

Found the floor in my bedroom ~ Hurrah !!!

MSN back & running & had words with the Mrs

& then we Skyped..... but boo it has just crashed in Oz again & now she is offline :'(

Sooooooooooooo back to tidying/hoovering/taking it easy NOT before returning to work on Tues

Went to the Brick lane market at 7.0am bought a hot chocolate and ate a buttered bagel. Bought fruits and meat and a can of pledge, the cleaner said she couldn't wring anymore from the original.

found Life on Earth on the box fell asleep, woke in time for breakfast, cooked super bacon from peckham farmers market with some 'chestnut' mushrooms and a fried egg with home made bread. 3 hours later still feeling bloated.

    • I'm trying to be civil, see things from different perspectives and avoid arguments. The grey economy is cash in hand, so no tax to be paid, Chancellor loses out, we all win. Zero hrs contracts must be tough not knowing where or when the next work is coming from.  My position might not be great, but with a bit of sensible weekly shopping, stocking up on best buys etc. one survives and life ain't that bad.  
    • I'm trying to find a venue for my daughter's 18th but it's really difficult. Most venues don't want 18th birthday parties. We were looking at Brockwell Hall (The newly refurbed big ol' house in the park) but they want 4.5k for a night which has to finish at 11pm. My daughter tells me her friends don't go out till 11 which I think may be an exageration but I get her point. I'm looking for a bar/club type venue where I can have a DJ till 1/2am and that's about it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    • My Conure just flew away outside.  She flew towards Belvoir Road.   Please call me if you see her.  She isn't tame but she is too small to survive the other birds will kill her. Please call me  07739180197. Or.  07504852207. Carolyn 
    • “Fair points, not arguing with you on them” This outbreak of civility between us is beginning to worry me ! im approaching pension age soon enough myself and im sorry to hear your position isn’t great.  But current pensions are not the result of  any 1 year government (they literally couldn’t be) but decades of priorities across multiple govts and voter priorities  21k won’t get your fat these days as a worker. Transport and other costs before they even get to accommodation. And they will work hard for that then you have the grey economy and zero hour contracts where people earn far less than that  again - your position doesn’t sound great but that’s no reason to deny a new generation  Me and jazzer at next forum drinks  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/mar/28/dining-across-the-divide-i-see-the-welfare-state-as-bloated-corrupt
