Cat's Eyes 

Sunset! 

The kitten :) 

My friend Robjn did this for me, you have to be a Cambridge (gay) resident to appreciate it fully though :P 

Pink Picnic 2005 

I'm still here ;)

It has been ages again since I wrote here, which is very naughty of me. This weekend I am off to Manchester Pride. I'm looking forward to it, we're gonna stay there until next Tuesday, so it's like a mini holiday really. I'll hopefully take lots of pictures and put them up here. I am so skint at the moment lol! I am gonna have to be really good with my money when I'm in Manchester, which is why I'm about to nip into town now and buy a bottle of vodka and some red bulls so we can drink them in our room before we go out, so I won't have to spend so much once I'm out...how cheap of me :-p

Where's Estefania's blog?

It's gone, that's very naughty! You know how I like to keep tabs on you...Or maybe it was removed because it contained items of filth and vulgarity. Hmmmm I know that she gets up to all sorts that one, I bet that's what's happened!

I have had a good day, went to lunch with a friend and caught up on his latest escapades and also had a lovely quiche to eat that my next door neighbour brought round for me last night, it was very very yummy. I got a lot of work done this afternoon and also went back to the gym for the first time since before the holiday. So now I'm feeling nice and relaxed and it won't be long before I'm in bed. Tomorrow I am going to try and book hotels for Manchester Pride, which is coming up at the end of August. It's gonna be difficult though, as we wanna stay for 4 days and there are a lot of us going...and I'm skint :( Still, it's only money I suppose.

I'm Back!

Well, I'm back from Gran Canaria, it all passed by so quickly :( Still, I had an absolutely fab time. The weather was perfect, always around 28C and there was always a nice breeze too. The sun was very strong though, even with my factor 40 I still got a bit tanned lol! We became almost completely nocturnal when we were there, our day was like this: Sit by beach or pool from 2pm until about 7, shower and apply our aftersun and then go and eat. Then we'd sleep until about 11pm then go out around 11.30 until 6.30am the next morning! Was such a fab way of life, although don't know how long I could keep it up for. We are already planning our next visit, which I think will be sometime in October and we're gonna try and do 2 weeks!

Today I am back at work, although I haven't done much yet, I think I'm gonna wait until after coffee :)

I was catching up with my emails yesterday and I had this one from my brother, it simply read:
Sjr33 signing off!!
He has been made redundant after working there for over 15 years and my Granddad had worked there for 40 years before that. It made me cry. My Granddad will be turning in his grave!

That's how nice it was today :) 

Relaxing

This weekend has been cool. It's the first weekend in ages there hasn't been anything happening, so I've been able to just relax at home. Today has been really nice as the weather is fab too, so I have spent most of the day in the garden. I've been good though, I've done all my ironing and have caught up quite a bit with my French.

I went out on Friday night. I met Tracey's boy friend for the first time. He was really nice and we had a good evening going into various little village pubs, was quite quaint and very nice.

Next week is gonna be busy busy busy and then this time next week I will be mega excited as will be off to Gran Canaria eraly on the Monday morning yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smudge. But look at the weeds...I need to do more gardening! 

Liverpooool :) 

He Swears...

Last night was fab, was absolutely slaughtered though lol! And I had to walk home from the train station in Ely to my house, which is 3Km! I was feeling very sick on the train, thank goodness for relativity, the journey only seemed to take 30 seconds lol! Tracey can certainly outdrink me though, the last two pubs I was on halves while she was still on pints. This evening I am going to a birthday party in Ipswich which should be fun. Also this afternoon I'm going round to see a friend's new house, she has an honoury room for me there and she says it lush hmmmm I'm gonna live like a queen.

I'm not feeling too bad at all this morning after the drinking, here's a nice little poem to end my post. It's such a naughty little poem, I love it. It's by Cavafy, so I'm sure Stevette has the oringinal Greek....

He Swears

Every so often he swears to start a finer life.
But when night comes with its own counsels,
its compromises, and its promises;
but when night comes with its own vigour
of the body, craving and seeking, he returns,
forlorn, to the same fatal joy.

;-)

Mash...

It's Friday again, this week I have been lazy lazy lazy :( I put it down to the warm weather. I have done very little at work and absolutely no OU stuff at all. It's very bad as I have two assignments due next Wednesday and I haven't even started them yet! This weekend I'm busy being the social whore again, and therein lies the problem methinks lol! I do promise to myself that next week I will try harder. I have two work experience people with me all next week too, so I'll have to get them working as well ;)

This week has been very nice, the weather has been absolutely fantastic, I've even caught the sun a bit, so I don't look quite so pasty and gaunt. I had a bbq at my house on Sunday which was fab, I will put some photos up from it soon because we took 100s, especially as we became more drunk.

Tonight I'm going out with my friend Tracey. I had wanted to sit outside somewhere, but the weather has broken now and it's only just stopped raining...I'm an optimist though and the sun could come out again soon.

Quinze

It's almost the weekend again :) I kept my promise of last week and have worked my fingers to the bone all week. I now have a nice feeling of satisfaction lol!

Tonight I am going out with an old friend, we met up by chance a couple of weeks ago, it has beenalmost 15 years since we last saw each other, which is bad really as we have both been in Cambridge the whole time. We must have passed like ships in the night. Tonight should be good though :) I'll report back here soon...

No me canso...

...de esta jodida vida. In sharp contrast to last weekend this weekend was shite. All sorts of things and events were upsetting me. I'm not gonna write about them here, the memories of it can all just drift slowly away into oblivion lol! Today, however, I am feeling better and almost back to my normal self. Anyways, the bad happens so you appreciate the good, that's what I'm telling myself. And anyway, even when it's at its worst, you do still have to love it.

I kept to my promise of being a busy bee at work, I did loads and loads at work and was in the lab until gone 7!

Karaoke

Yay! It's Friday again :) This week does really seem to have flown by. I have still been so bloody lazy at work though, someone needs to give me a kick up the backside I think. I am making a promise to myself now, that from Monday morning first thing I am gonna work my fingers to the bone.

Last weekend was fab :) I went to Felixstowe on Friday night. Dean was having a visitor over from Australia, I've never met them before, but I'll use any excuse to go out and drink. I got to Felixstowe around 3 and Gail was still working, so I went to see Dean. It turns out he is now truly, madly, deeply, passionately, fan-dabi-doozibly in love :) And soon to be married! It is all very sweet actually, and I'm very happy for him. I spent 80 quid in the shop, it would have been more but I do still get my ex-boyfriend discount ;) When we got back to Gail's she had a bottle of champers in the fridge (she's fab!), we guzzled that in less than 30 mins, we really do have no class! We went for a chinese and then met the rest of them in the bar. The rest's a bit of a haze, I do remember at one point contemplating running naked into the sea, but was persuaded otherwise lol!

On Saturday I had arranged to meet a chap I'd met a couple of weeks earlier in a night club! Not always the best of ideas I know. So I was slightly apprehensive about meeting. In the end though, it turned out he was lovely and he stayed at mine until Monday morning (I know, slut!). We had a fab time and on Sunday night he even won some singing contest thing that could ultimately mean he gets to record something in London.

Monday night I performed my civic duty and was a first aider at an over 60's bbq...I didn't pull.

Tuesday I went out with the lovely and very, very popular Abhi. We played tennis (I was shite) and then had a meal with loads and loads of free drinkies. After that we went to a club until the wee small hours. Abhi is such a mover, I can't remember the last time I was bent over someone's knee so often...Salsa...I felt I was in Latin America.

I bought a new monitor. The old one was a crt monitor and very bad for the environment. That was all the excuse I needed to convince myself to buy it! And don't you just love the picture of Rufus. God, I wish I looked like that; although on second thoughts, probably for the best I don't, I'd be even more of a slag! 

On Tuesday I did a little gardening, my neighbours gave me some small plants and here are some of them I planted. I hope they live. 

How time flies...

Gosh, it's been ages since I have written anything here. Lots has been happening as well, all good but nothing ground breaking lol! It reminds me actually of a programme on Radio 4 that I was listening to recently. It was some song writers talking about various songs they had written (as you'd expect lol). One of the song writers was asked why her songs were often about heartache and such like. She replied that the reason she didn't write happy songs was because when she was happy and life was good she had far better things to do than sit and write happy songs, she was out there living the life and being happy. So maybe it's the same with this blog! So if you see me start to write 1000 words a day in this blog send me chocolate and other gifts to cheer me up!

I have tomorrow off work, and I shall be doing absolutely nada. Well, apart from pamper myself with dvds and phish food.

Hasta luego!
