Catching up again

It was a good evening yesterday and really nice to catch up with my friend. She lives not far from where we went to school and so I took a longer route than I needed to get to her house and had a wander through some of the local area. I’d forgotten what a great place it is to go out and socialise. Lots of nice bars and restaurants – not that I was particularly into either when I was at school, but I used to work in the same area as well. Her house was nice. She has bought it with her sister and they are in the middle of doing it up. I don’t think I had seen her sister since we were at school so it was good to see her too.

Fortunately, my public transport geekery came in handy, as there were some real problems on bits of the tube last night and so with a quick wander through the old grey cells of my mind, I came up with an alternative route home that meant taking totally the wrong tube line and then a bus. But there are times when having contingency plans stored at the back of your mind come in handy. It could explain why most useful pieces of information manage to get lost somewhere along the way though.

Today, I am having my hair cut and am hoping that it is better than last time. It should be as my normal hairdresser is cutting it and he knows that when I say I don’t want my hair blow dried and so on that he doesn’t need to do it. My hair seems to have got quite long more quickly than normal so I don’t think the woman cut much off when she did it last time. Anyway, I shall be neatly trimmed at lunch time today.

Then I’m meeting up with my friend C for a late lunch and a catch up. She is the friend I was meant to be buying a house with, and she is back from Bristol for a few days so it will be good to hear how she has settled in there.

It’s August and I am really cold. I even have a thick jumper on at the moment – possibly if we were allowed the heating on it would help but what with it being the middle of ‘summer’ that isn’t allowed. The Press Gang DVD turned up today to torment me while I am waiting for the delivery of the previous series, although I might break at some point and watch it anyway if the other series takes to long to arrive.

Anyway, a pleasant day ahead and I might even follow my own advice and write a letter later, although I might have to practice my bestest handwriting in advance of that.
