i was supposed to have my dad and brother down for dinner
but my dad is ill. so i ended up staying longer at my niece's 4th birthday party than i meant to, and have thus arrived at work a LOT later than i like to be. this will be the worst saturday night ever, ever, ever. on the plus side, i am then off for most of next week, hoorah.

on the back of a 3am finish on thu night and a late late hammered finish last night, there is nothing worse than a 4 year old's birthday party. but I SAT RIGHT NEXT TO STEPHEN FRY at dinner/cocktails, which we thought was quite exciting.

he was there with friends and we were quite desperately drunk, so it would have been a Bad Thing.

thank you...
... so do i. he's never ill normally! plus since losing my mum so unexpectedly i get really really panicky if i think anything might happen to him. which drives him mad, he's about the bluffest gruffest yorkshireman you could imagine.

Bad news of having to work.
Did you get your niece anything pink for her birthday?
