Hi Mum!

My mum is my most avid reader, and gets most upset when I fail to post a blog for a bit.... So, despite the fact I've just got home and should really get to bed, I am writing this in the knowledge that I'm going to be on the sunny south coast for the weekend and she may well be unable to sleep, turning to the tattie for something to make her doze off. Never one to disappoint (at least intentionally), here is some drivel to make you pass out of at the keyboard - with boredom, if not relaxing sleep.

After the relative excitement of the "I'm buying a bike!" fiasco of my last post, I have been assured that my new mode of transport has been ordered and will be available next Saturday. Upon strolling into Halfords last Saturday, I was faced with the unlikely truth that they don't stock 22" bike frames (as required by my elongated legs) and need to order them in specially - this despite the fact that they only have three varieties of frame size. So, despite my anticipation reaching fever pitch, I shall have to wait a little longer. Hell, it's been 15 years so far, so another week won't make too much of a difference.

Between now and then, I am off to Portsmouth tomorrow to spend the weekend with J - and the cat who shares her bed. I have a Harold Bishop-esque reaction to the scratching, ungrateful balls of hair, so am expecting to spend my weekend unable to sleep due to the burning rash all over my body and inability to breathe. Still looking forward to it though.

After that, I have "the big presentation" on Thursday, where I have to talk for 40 minutes about the goals of the company for 2008. If the reaction to my trial run today is anything to go by, they'll be rolling in the aisles. Completely unintentionally, of course.....
