News and stuff

I've been taking a break from most activities online, this being one of them.

I've been so busy with the new job, with very little opportunity to visit the boards. When I do, Christ on a bike, I'm glad that I'm not so wrapped up in them! Unbearable to see it is!

The mods have got all nazi, the posters that appear with one name and then another, are just as dull as ditchwater, and I'm glad to report that the good folks I want to speak to when I get home, are going to homes and lives of their own. I was even modded yesterday, for having the gall to mention that I thought a deviant thread was fun and that poo should go out to the mods. Modded! For that childish shite?? Oh I fully expect to be chastised and told in no uncertain terms that I am not to be so silly on a board full of such highbrow content and opinion, but modded? Bollocks to them, frankly.

So, Kassia-Kat it is.

I've been working with some Polish lads, and Kassia (it's pronounced Kasha) is Polish for Kate.

The job is going very well as it happens, and I have to say that I am about as happy as a person can be in your average working position. All good.
The boss is a demanding little bugger, but nothing I can't handle, and the challenge of doing everything from scratch, by hand (no computer, VAT books and basically working with quills and lamp light! Ten Guineas a week and not a ha'penny more!) is good for the old grey matter now that I'm another year older.

It was my birthday over the weekend, and it is fair to say that it really was one of the best of my adult life.

No great parties or fuss, but I had dinner with a friend, got drunk a couple of times over the course of the weekend, got tons of cards and texts and gifts and had beautiful moments. It really does not get much better than that.

I even got the chance to see Viki the Hairdresser, so who would I be to complain about getting closer to 40 thanI am to 30, eh? If a girl can get her 'do done on her birthday, she'd be a demanding little minx to expect more.
But more I got! Mainly in the form of love, love, love - family, friends, and loved ones from all the nooks and crannies of my life. It was great.

There was time spent with G, which has been happening alot recently, and while there will always be the cynic in me, I think there's something there that I need to stick with.

He's special. He brings......................much.

He's living with N, and for the moment, that suits me ok. It's all about enjoying the time and the company at the moment, and there are some truly interesting slants he's had to give on things, that I want to hear and explore.
The domestic arrangements give the sense of freedom, whilst still being anchored. Perhaps it's selfish and misguided, but I'm certainly happier this way.

I'm skint. That's been a massive change.

Not too fussed, and again, I've enjoyed the challenge, in this case, of living like a church mouse. Not sure how long that novelty will last, but I didn't know I could live so well with so little! Jeez, I've never been anything close to well-off, but this is really living tight! My mothers 'good living for cheap' skills are coming into their own!!

Charlie is still doing well, and as I write, I'm waiting for him to return from a Chelsea match (1-0 against Newcastle) that he went to on his own! He got the chance of a very cheap ticket, and no matter what, he was going! He's just been on the phone bemoaning the trains.

He's been learning to drive, and has been told that he has a natural ability. I believe this is actually something in the blood. From both sides, he comes from entire families of first-time passers. Pressure's on eh?!?!

I'm getting stuck into the A level, in as much as I'm reading! I think it's best to read with an uncritical eye and then do the exercise set. I'm about to finish 'Spies' and will get to writing and re-reading when I've finished the book.

The other thing that I'm looking into is learning to play the guitar. I have to do it before I die, so now is as good a time as any.

And that's about it.

Hope it's not been too boring for you.

It's just life as I know it.
