Too many mental notes.

Sometimes, you just have to go for it.

That whole cagey, restricted, "But I'm not ready," (for possibly good things to happen? to start living your own life?) WAH WAH WAH isn't holding water anymore. Oh, it's a new year, for heaven's sake.

So I decided to finally wear that tartan skirt (refer to post previous).

In other news, Jimmy, the Greek-English plumber came by this morning. The flat flooded from a broken pipe that froze a few days ago. The kitchen has been proper freezing. But now, with the new radiator put in, and without that silly, wonky one, it's well-nice. I was even able to enjoy my traditional breakfast tea and crumpets this morning.

Work in Pimlico has been busy... planning, collaborating, etc. Sometimes I wonder even how some of the people can even keep their rotors together. But it'll work. It will. And doors are opening, all around.

The credit crunch is hitting this country pretty hard. GB is officially in recession. The interest rate of the Bank of England has been at all time low of 1.5%. ONE POINT FIVE PERCENT, I SAID it (and I meant it). Poundland (similar to dollar stores) - and 99p joints (similar to 99c stores) are thriving like crazy. I suppose, at least the Chinese/Taiwanese workers still have their factories open to be able to keep up with the local discount demand here.

Makes me wonder what kind of legacy former PM Tony Blair had here. OH, well. At least he wasn't ever caught snogging with the au pair. That's always nice.

On my end, no messing about over here (for all you of my girls who are wondering, HA!). Usual everyday is filled with transits in trains and buses and getting to and fro work, to and fro weekend getaway destinations and so forth. So, tidy up and don't get your knickers all in a twist. What you've heard as of late is true though - I have to say. Be happy for me. Cause I'm excited (and a little scared), but I'd like to give it a go and see what happens in the meanwhile. So if you've got any objections, Come off it!

But don't worry. The more I know, the more I'll share. For now, just know that I am (slightly) missing the land of liberty and where they drive on the RIGHT and CORRECT side of the road.

Leave it to the British to swing about in their roundabouts.

=) Love you loads and Miss you heaps. X
