me: "well we stock that one!"
customer: "yes" (unnerving maniacal laughter)
me: (look of anxious bemusement)

my old french teacher from school turned up at work today. still found myself bowing and scraping in an effort to compensate the years of attitude i gave her.
tonight i rode for an hour in the pelting rain and driving winds... "which was nice".
half term lunch out with mini me.
not bad for a thursday :o)

today went fast and i came home pleased. does that mean anything??
caught myself having this conversation:
new colleague: wow it's all changing here, new boss, new people, refurbishment, you must get pretty tired of all this change
me: no actually the more change the better
her: really?
me: yeah. it's sad and shallow but i get bored very quickly and the new desk downstairs will keep me going for a week thinking 'oh yeah it's ok here'
>>hears the distant sounds of warning bells ringing but pushes the ear plugs in a little further<<

a merry jaunt northwards via sheffield, stannage edge, calver, hathersage, bakewell and froggat's edge.
threw it down with rain all day but it was Madeleine's first drive out and we had fun.

County Council School Admissions Handbook. Section E. Part ii.
I quote.
"Some schools give a higher priority to 'looked after' a children. But this does not guarantee a place."
My points.
a) The first sentence is devoid of any hint of meaning.
b) Sentences ought never to begin with the word 'but'.
c) Which school did the author of this booklet attend because I would like to request my child does not go there for his education.

high drama today as the street was cordoned off, all the emergency services converging outside our doors and the shop being shut for a woman running across the roof and threatening to jump. really weird sensation seeing someone on the roof, drunk, abusive, out of control and grief stricken.
