Ohhh, not feeling too well today. We ended up at the Walkabout last night. Think we made it home about 3am, but not too sure.

Spoke to my old room mates and Tricia last night. As has been said before, I want to go back to Vancouver...........

Four days away from work and everyone seems to be going out of town. I may be going to Liverpool on either Saturday or Sunday and will hopefully get to do the Beatles tour as was intended last time I was there!

Struggle to make it through the day. Had a few people over last night for Tarot card readings. Was really interesting. Think it could become a monthly occurence!

Good to be recovering from the weekend. Not too wild, but rather busy.

Happy 30th birthday to Brad! And happy birthday to Sal (great dinner had Saturday night!), Dr. C and Faye for last week.

On Sunday I walked over to the boys (yes SaffaNick, you are getting yet another mention!), for my promised afternoon of Playstation only to find them out even though they said they'd be back early afternoon. When a small amount of sun came out on the Saturday, Jonny decided it was BBQ Season (Duck season, rabbit season...). They had purchased a BBQ for the summer and next thing we knew, there were 10 people standing around a miniture version of the Webber and throwing a rugby ball around. Bring on Summer!!!

This time last year I was flying down to LA, and then spent Easter in Vegas....

Question asked..."Is Celine Dion known in Australia?"

Unfortunately....

Finished work early today being Friday. Waiting for A to finish work. Think it will be a night in with a video. Out tomorrow night...

Ventured out last night for a few drinks for Faye's birthday. Made it home before midnight, but it was still a struggle to get through the day. Bring on the weekend!

Not a lot to tell really...not sure what I am up to for Easter. Everyone seems to be going away. Hope the Easter Bunny can still find me!

Think I could be getting sick. Have been in bed early every night this week. Has been good for the budget, but my back and shoulders are aching. Cannot afford any days off work, hopefully pumping myself full of vitamin C is going to ensure I don't get too sick.

The un-funny guy at work is becoming remarkably amusing!!

A belated Happy 86th birthday to my Nan. Go Grandma-ma!!!

I have a friend (who is now four), who hates bananas. She is totally freaked out by them. She will work the perimeter of a room just to avoid being close to one! The fear on her face when here younger sister is eating a banana is priceless!!

I have another friend (who is quite a bit older than four!) who hates Baked Beans. He won't even let you talk about them in his presence. It makes him feel physically ill to even discuss the subject.

My only real food hatred (apart from meat, being a vegetarian and all) is raw celery. The taste and texture are just awful.

No idea why I decided to blog this, but just an interesting observation!

Sorry to everyone with being a little slack with emails. I do love reading them though, but as I don't have access at work, I have to make it to an internet cafe. Also like to make it home before dark because the area I'm living in is a little scary. Was woken at 3am this morning with a guy singing as he walked (crawled?!) along the street. Cool house though, and great room mates (apart from the Celine Dion). Room mate cooked myself and a few of my friend dinner on Thursday night. After quiet a few bottles of wine, we knew it was going to be a regular occurence.

I want to come back Nellie. I want to meet you at the Railway Club on a Friday night, or for one of our chat sessions at a pub mid week.

Not much news, stayed awake at work the whole day - and its confirmed. Mezz is coming to see me!! I'm so excited. Bring on April!!!

Planning on reading a book a week. But, I need suggestions..E-mail me with ideas for favourite books to read. Open to suggestions....

Another good weekend had in Leeds. Finally settled into my house - and no longer living out of my suitcases.

New room mate ... "Reading in the paper yesterday about the scarecrow who won an award. He was the most outstanding in his field."
Nellie and Marlush, this so reminds me of the jokes you guys would tell on our nights out at the Railway!

Had a feeling last night when I couldn't sleep that perhaps it was another house with a "presence". Whenever I would stay at my friend Dave's place in Maple Ridge, just outside Vancouver, I was never able to sleep no matter how tired I was. Found out later there were stories apparently in the house regarding non-humans. Never found out what actually happened, thankgoodness. In the end I got up for half an hour then crashed for the rest of the night - don't think I'm used to going to sleep at a decent hour.

Birthday cake at work. So not the same as the birthday cakes we had at Roadshow from David Jones. Wish I had been there the day Tanya let go of the cake before it reached the table....(Sorry Tan, but someone had to begin the bantering between our blogs. I know you have plenty of stories on me....now I'm scared....).

And finally, you are the most horrible person in the world SaffaNick, all I wanted to do last night was see Jason Donovan and you broke my heart by not taking me last night..."don't cry, you must have heard some things about me, that made you turn away, that made you live your life without me, but you were hearing rumours, I can see it in your face, they tried to tell you that someone else could take your place. You can put your faith in me, love will have its victory"...all from memory, I am a BIG fan, now very, very embarrased.

On a happier note, congratulations Dave on your PhD. Will be coming to visit you in Cambridge/Oxford???!!!

Thank you Dr.C and SaffaNick for helping me to move this evening, much appreciated!

So the night comes to an end at 3:05am, remarkably sober even though cocktails were being served all evening.

Have been out an about all day. Found myself a place to live in Leeds not far from all the people I know which is wonderful. Decent rent, and a house I know I'll feel comfortable in. Move in on Wednesday, cannot wait to finally unpack my suitcases.

I intend to spend tomorrow in detox. About time I stopped indulging in alcohol, at least for one day....but then again, who knows.....

Bring on the fry up (new English term I learnt recently) tomorrow morning.

One of my best friends in the whole wide world,Tanya, has started to blog. Guessing there will quotations in there on a regular basis!

Ready for a busy weekend, just about to go and look at a house. Hopefully all will be good so I can finally unpack my suitcases.

Hopefully have exciting stories to tell after Saturday evening's cocktail party. Could tell a few stories about last night......na, won't do that to you......
