Still HATE them....

"I Hate Those Mice's to Pieces"

Completed Billy by Pamela Stephenson last night. Went to bed
rather early.....was on the phone to my Mum last night in the kitchen, when
I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye. There was a mouse under the
oven. Eeeee, phone call quickly ended, and as no one was home, I had no
other place to go but up to my room. Finished the book while waiting for
my room mates to get home. The were wondering why I was in bed so early!
As the cartoon states, I hate those mice's to pieces.

Bizarre being a vegetarian and having such a fear of animals. I should
be an animal lover, but instead I am quiet frightened of them. Even fake
plastic eels that used to sit in our bathtub in Vancouver, they used make
me squirm everytime I showered. Too afraid to tell Migueal and Anthony
incase they teased me with the toy. Weird and wonderful practical jokes
used to be played on me, such as trying to go sleep one night, stretching
and feeling something plastic. The boys had found a mannequin which they
placed in my bed......

Banks...

Waited in line for 40 minutes to be told that the letter I needed from my employer last time I was in the bank attempting to set up a bank account, needed to be addressed to the bank itself. So STILL without a bank account. Ahhhh!! Its official, I dislike banks all around the world! Great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Hopefully going up to Harrogate tonight to see Nicole.

Mezz, how long until you arrive??

Last weekend was extremely relaxing....read/slept in Dr C's backyard for most of Sunday...missing sun and warmth.

This weekend, grey clouds, and trying to ensure I don't spend too much money. My room mates and I managed to polish off a bottle of vodka with the help of a few others last night. I stayed in and went to bed at a decent hour while they went out on the town.

Start new temp job on Monday. Based downtown which means I can walk to and from work which I am most happy about!

Celine, the room mate who loves Celien Dion has moved out. Don't think he is going to be missed too much by my other room mates. I certainly won't miss Celine Dion's new album being played at 2am....

Robbie Williams specials all last weekend. I was loving it!

Lovely sunshine here in Leeds. Wearing a sleeveless top, but think I am the only person doing so. Little chilly for summer clothes.

Week has been busy. Went out with "the boys" on Wednesday night and attempted to keep up with their drinking. Not a smart move on a school night! BBQ on Thursday night was brilliant. Last night we went to Mojos then onto Walkabout where I finally saw Nicole who ventured down from Otley.

Finally have email at work - finally contact with the outside world. Only working there for another week though, but great to email Janelle and Saco throughout the day!!

Room mate whenever the Queens Mother death is on television or in the newspaper "it was so unexpected"....

Why do people assume that, just because I don't take drugs, that I can't tell when they are high??....

Anyway, I don't know why, but I have been thinking about Australia and perhaps heading back there sooner rather than later. The sun was out today at lunchtime - reminded me of how much I appreciate the warmth, the not having to wear 6.7 layers of clothing, being slightly tanned and positive moods of people around you due purely to the weather.

I also miss the beach. I have never lived this far from the ocean before. Thinking Elwood to be my next location of choice when I return, not only close to the beach, but also to Albert Park Lake. And there is a chance a friend of mine may be relocating to Sydney which would be an added bonus! Can't say who it is, or I may jinx him!!

Easter weekend was good. Went to York on the Friday. On Sunday went to Liverpool to have dinner with Tony's (who I met in Vancouver) family.
