I managed to only cut myself once today at work! Yay.

@ BGB have you had your gym induction yet?
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Tue 19 Aug 2008, 19:14, Reply)

Hello Mrs Bin
Yes and I've been a couple of times now. It seems to be ok. The treadmill is a little strange. After I get off I still feel like I'm moving forward even though I'm standing still. I have to sit down for 5 minutes till it passes or I get dizzy.

I think I'll keep it up. Everyone seems friendly and of normal size. A few fatties like me even.

Today has been ... special.
I needed to gather all my receipts from travelling to and from work before I got my rail pass so I can get reimbursed. Could I find the receipts at work today? Could I fuck.

I come home, and there they all are in a neat little pile, so crisis averted.

I've also done BT, EDF and TV licensing for the flat, Mr Maladicta has moved the bulky furniture with his dad tonight, and all seems to be proceeding nicely. However, the optician's keeps phoning my parents demanding I go for an appointment to see if my eyes have fallen out in the last twelve months and have realised I've left my glasses at the parents' house, somewhere I have no time* to go in the next couple of months, but if I don't go, they'll cut off my supply of contacts. Great. I don't want to get my parents to send them because I don't want them getting lost in the post and partly because there are things in my room I really, really don't want them finding if they go through looking for my glasses.

Hmm
I shall tell you the tale of my extravagant sunday, which was the day after the wedding I was at.

It all started at about half 8 in the morning, a good 5 hours after I had gone to bed. We went to go and see the whole group of people who were across from Bristol for the wedding before they disappeared home.

Now unfortunately they had a lot of food left that needed eaten. Mainly apple pie and burgers. For breakfast. Score.

So after recovering from that, we went to the bride's family's house, where there happened to be leftover food that needed eaten. Score. Burgers, sausages, chicken legs, cheesecake. Double score.

Then we were heading home that evening, so went out for dinner, in a fancy restaurant overlooking the sea. It was awesome. Score.

Then I got home at about 11pm, and had some toast. Toast is good.

Which made the flight home from Belfast to Glasgow fairly interesting, especially with the wind and the turbulence.

Setting fire to toast is impressive. And I believe you can cook, as you mentioned something impressive sounding once.

Duck is tasty.
