i'm thankful for london when it's so dead like this
millions of seats on the tubes, inner temple walk up to work is empty, taxi home last night took 15 mins... it's brilliant.

the presentation i need to give to 150 surveyors in jan can fuck right off, trying to make it (i) relevant; (ii) short enough; (iii) technical enough; (iv) not too technical; and (v) pitched at an appropriate level for everyone from grad trainees to 30 years PQE is killing me.

Sock puppets are the answer to your presentation woes
They'll educate the thickos and amuse the bored ones.

what kind of a puppet would represent
the landlord and tenant act 1927 and unreasonably withholding consent though?

but i'm WRITING it this year, doesn't that count?
otherwise you'll just get me ranting more about shit men and how they are all shit and having no money for the next couple of months and ANOTHER of my friends selfishly getting pregnant (although i told a different friend and she said "great just what the world needs, another fucking ugly ginger baby" which made me feel a lot better) and how stiff i am after 2 hours in the gym last night and an hour this morning...

even sitting through the presentation would be more interesting, no?

Lay off the gym a bit. Try something more inclined to help you relax.

then i will drop back to 3-5 times a week as i'll be able to walk home again on the nights i've been out!

I can talk. I'm upping my gym time next year.
Laying off the wine and trying to lose a stone.

good resolution
i am swopping monday night sessions for that 2 hour extra sweaty yoga class in the new year. bit nervous, it sounds seriously hard-core - you're not allowed to leave the room at all, even if you think you are going to faint/are dying for the toilet...

I've heard of that.
I couldn't do it. I'd get claustraphobic.

i am quite claustrophobic too
it's one of the reasons i'm such a restless sleeper, i think the sheets are trying to strangle me.
