(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Tue 4 May 2010, 8:05, Reply)

I like being warm when it's cold.
I don't like being at school when it's cold cos the school has no heating and is usually colder then it is outside.

The sixth cocktail last night probably wasn't a good idea when the alarm was set for 5:15!

I forgot to reset my alarm after taking yesterday off.
I woke up this morning going 'shitshitshitshit' - two minutes before my alarm would have gone off.

Anyway, why are you up so early? I thought the retired got up to watch loose women or crap in the attic.

I drank cider yesterday evening, watched the snooker and decided half nine at night is a great time for a big plate of nachos. Man, they were good, but today I'm ruined.

Muesli, water,
waiting for: the phone engineer to arrive, plasterboard to be delivered, the skip to be taken away, the heating guy to phone, a quiet bit of time to mark the third year coursework.
I would love a coffee but the cooker has been disconnected for the past 2.5 weeks. I may have to fork out and buy a takeaway one (coffee, not cooker).

Three cups of tea so far, and the kettles on now. I'm first in today so the natural spirit of bonhomie means I'll have a cup ready for my mates when they arrive. We always have a cup and natter first thing - you'll remember those times.

Right now I'm preferring longer in bed. I know it's a false economy as I'll feel more tired for not eating, but you can't beat the extra 5-10 minutes in bed!

In fact my entire healthy eating/fitness regime has fallen to pieces. Motivation has never been lower. I blame work being shit.

Not too badly
Had a fantastic weekend, although a little complicated. Ended up snogging one of my best mates. We've been stupidly close for a long time, and she's just split up with her fella. We've both admitted we know we'd be good together, but neither of us want to take the chance of hurting the other. Neither of us are good in relationships, you see.

But today is mainly amusing for the girl who got quite drunk at the work do on Friday, and ended up dancing in a rather dirty way with another office girl. We're all fine with it, but they're both a little uncomfortable, haha!

Woke up with a bit of a start this morning
After an awful lot of beer yesterday in the fair town of Lewes, I was inclined to go into work a little later, with the reasoning that I'd be there until later than normal this evening. Then I remembered I was supposed to meet my students this morning and grumbled to self a bit before staggering out of bed. I've just spent the last 20 minutes or so talking to them and being painfully aware that I'm really quite spaced out this morning. Think I might need some more coffee...unless anyone can recommend something else to focus my currently incongruous thoughts...?

Lovely place, though I've never been to the Bonfire Nights
Heard about 'em, though - most notably the one in the year that Greene King bought the Lewes Arms and stopped serving the Sussex Best.

(Sad news on that front, though - having forced GK to reinstate the Harvey's SBB, I arrived there yesterday to find the pub was now owned by Fuller's. At least they've kept the SBB on the pumps, but I'd been hoping for a repeat of the lovely pint of Dark Mild I'd had there on my last visit...)
