Playing Catch Up

Posted by turquoisefloyd on July 13, 2008

I have been tremendously slack in not updating, recently. So here’s a roundup.

My cousin Older Twin C gave birth to a bouncing boy on June 9th, M-boy. He was 8lbs 15ozs, no wonder she had a caesarian! Closely followed by my dear friend M-in-France who gave birth to twin boys J-boy and R-boy the following day. I found out about M-in-France’s babies from a text message she sent me as I stood in the car park behind Winch’s in town, waiting for a lift home. I screamed and jumped up and down, then I cried and I know people were looking at me funny!

My friend S/P got accepted to train as a paramedic so she’s very excited. She starts tomorrow! This means that I won’t be going to the Chelmsford Meet anymore, but I will still get to go to Layer-de-la-Haye as K/K has offered to pick me up at the station and drop me off after.

Had a week off last week – unfortunately the weather has been a bit rubbish. Wednesday in particular was lousy as it rained all day without stopping, dammit. I still ventured to Colchester to the meet and had a good time, although I didn’t get to shop as much as I would have liked and have decided that I must go to Colchester again by myself some time to get some decent shopping in!

I still tune in regularly to The Bugcast. In fact, I’ve begun to read out my emails on air, through the power of the voice file! I’m also now listening to Dumbed Down Life as well, two shows ago they read out an email from me!! I have an edition to catch up on but haven’t got round to it yet. It’ll have to wait until later as I’m going to a craft show, later.

My sparring partner at the Ipswich Meet P/S and I spent an afternoon together a month ago – he went above and beyond the call of duty when we went to the cinema (the plan for Geocaching fell through) he accompanied me to see the Sex and the City movie! It was a tremendously selfless act and I owe him bigtime. I loved the movie – I cried four times!! As the lights went up, I apologised for him having to sit through the movie but he reckoned that he’d learnt something about women – that you really do have to treat ‘em mean to keep ‘em keen!

And there is something to report on the men front – there is someone shiny and new around :-D

But to close this week – here is a short film of a Monty Python classic. Enjoy!
