Ruminations on the next chapter
Right. We are moving into the flat TODAY. It does not have internet (unless I can find someone’s unsecured wireless connection and no I am not above doing that AND writing about it on my blog), but I will be at college on Monday and able to update. I have been mostly packing and bargaining …
On being overwhelmed by resuming life
I walk into HeadOfLawSchool’sOffice. I am feeling very pretty in a short skirt and beautiful brown boots. “Billygean!” HeadOfLawSchool says. “You’re looking very well.” By well, I think – I THINK – people might mean fat. It is often accompanied by things like “your face has really filled out!” “Thanks,” I say, sitting down. “I’ve …
A certain trigger
“Got 20 seconds?” I say to BestFriend on my mobile, sitting in a dirty bus. “Of course.” “Are you at work?” “Yes but it’s fine.” “College want me to pay them £500,” I say. “What! But they’re not even giving you any help on the new law!” “Oh I KNOW,” I say. “Don’t get me …
That special dynamic
“I might make more gingerbread tomorrow,” I say to MindReader as we lie in bed. “You are an addict,” he says. “They’re like BISCUITS though. You can’t tell they’re gluten free!

Diagnosis
I walk into new doctor’s room. We’ll call him Dumbledore, because he has that way about him, except he’s Indian. I give him the spiel. The post-viral fatigue.

Sorry!
RIGHT. Sorry about all that. I am now hosted at WordPress which is MUCH BETTER than horrible blogger. Normal posting will now resume!
Scenes from Tamworth
Woman and two children get on bus. “I’ll have three child singles please.” *** “Er excuse me?” I call down the shop, my woolly hat dropping down over my eyes so I have to tilt my head back. “Is this cash machine working? The sign is sort of half on the machine…” “I dunno, I …
News!!!!
Oh, hi! I know, I know I said I’d write about new year but I’ve actually been busy! Here’s what with: MindReader and I have found a flat and are moving out! It’s a stone’s throw from my college should body break again, and it’s BEAUTIFUL although unfurnished which justified the following trip to Ikea: …
Blogger is BACK hurrah
Oh my God. It appears blogger broke. I did not enjoy that experience. So. We went to Cornwall and it was perfect, really (post below). AND energy wasn’t really a consideration. Since coming back I seem to have picked up a cold but it hadn’t (yet – touch wood) done what the last one did …
