speeding

Last night as I was walking home post-holiday from the station with my cunning little trundle-along case behind me, a man sped past on the opposite pavement. He was doing a fair old rate of knots, and he was on a scooter. A push along scooter.

I know they were v hip for kids and young adults about 10 years ago, but seriously...this guy was 40 ish. and was speeding. on a scooter.

(nb: I couldn't write this last night because a) I inadvertantly had to spend the evening helping my housemate repack her bag into a hand luggage size case and arguing over the number of pairs of pants one needs to take for a 10 day trip and b) I'd forgotten that these things were called scooters, so I had to look it up on argos online. the first one that came up in google was a barbie 'inline' scooter. it is pink and has a slide out compartment under the scooter for your make up.)

Wise monkeys?

HA!

I've changed the template for my blog thereby making it significantly more harderer to read. genius.

I like it.

a lot.

Today (which is officially now yesterday, but for me is still techinically today as I've not been to bed yet to round it off) I:
- went to bed later than planned
- got up later than planned
- did manage to drag my arse (and the rest of me) to 3 hrs of capoeira training
- saw old friends from uni
- went to a drinks party in a lovely garden which had a trampoline in it
- bounced on the trampoline
- was one of the only two adults who bounced on aforementioned trampoline
- went out dancing
- cycled home

All in all it has a been an unexpectedly busy and fun day. (but some bits of me ache a little).

...there are three plants, a can of hairspray and a light bulb that no longer lights.

Creg

Craig meets death. In borders. Of course.

possible options

Am trying to come up with a name for a company I could one day use to sell any artwork, cards, crafty-type-stuff I do.

I was liking: littlestar, shine-on and several other things for which I could not purchase domain names...

moved onto:

ensignia
bellibutton
jellybutton
awfullyinspired (loved this...sadly also not available)

who are all these people who have bought up my domain names before me? who are you? how did you get to be so clever and quick off the mark? Grr.

shinycamel? not convinced.

Check this beast of a car!

Saw this in salisbury today. Almost inspired me to learn to drive...

not my nose

(wasn't meant to be this way round tho)

oh dear

Have becoming increasingly concerned about the size of my nose.

(and some other more distinctly wobbly bits of my general physique. but right now - given that it is 00:25 BST - when traditionally the more minor paranoias can surface and fester - it's the nose I'm worrying about).

The thing that is especially concerning is that now I'm aware that it is infact (or at least in more and more unflattering photos of me) larger than previously realised, I'm annoyingly reminded that the nose is (like bum, tum and thighs apparently) one of those parts of you that keeps growing even while other bits of one's body move gracefully and (mercifully slowly) into biological shutdown.

But not the nose. My ever increasing scent extractor is just going to keep on growing. oh joy. we are indeed fearfully (and wonderfully...hmmm) made. eek.
