I'm sorry for all of you who can't make it, I'll drink one for each of you :))

What are your plans for today?

Working til three.
Taking a client for an eight-mile walk this afternoon on paths I've not done before. The weather's perfect and she's making great progress, so I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully my legs'll cope after five miles with a stupidly heavy pack yesterday.

Off to the gym after work and then pizza and wine.

Mmmm pizza
They had weightwatchers pizza cheap in Sainsbury's, so I bought 2. It's not amazing, but it's pizza, and you can always add healthy extra toppings.

homemade pizza is the business. I used a shitload of nectar points to get a breadmaker which is great for making dough

That's the good thing about English language
You start using a new word, and if it catches, that's it, you have a new word. You don't need The Royal Academy of the English Language to evaluate it, consider if it's necessary and then, in some cases, accept it as a new word.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 3 Jun 2010, 11:19, Reply)

I think the official line
is that if you can get the word published in a certain number of publications, then it will be recognised as a word. Sadly I can't remember what the threshold is, nor what criteria said publication has to fulfil in order to be recognised (e.g., so "horsetastic," however frequently used in Deagostini I Love Horses would probably not qualify)
