I am nosy. What’s everyone got for lunch? I have a salad, with:

• sun protection, sun protective clothing by Sun-Togs
  Waterproof jackes

Today’s been lovely. Lazy morning, followed by a lovely lunch with Eri and Rob at a nice restaurant in Ealing, then an afternoon knitting and watching Gossip Girl while James does some writing.

I’ve had a few days off work to recharge my batteries following Radiohead, and have tomorrow off as well :) It’s been lovely to spend a few days pottering about, going in to town with James and wandering around Covent Garden for a couple of hours, making cakes, knitting and sleeping.

Radiohead was excellent and we got some excellent older songs - Karma Police, The Bends and No Suprises really stand out. But then I’m a sucker for the older stuff. Set list here.

Friday night we went to see some comedy at Bush Hall - Josie Long, who was *awful*, Tom Basden who was really good and Stewart Lee headlining. Richard Herring was compereing, and it was most excellent. Less excellent was the loss of my black cardigan somewhere in Shepherds Bush. Grr.

Further back, we went to Brighton last week to see the A-Bs and bestow birthday gifts on Toby. He is a truly lovely little boy, and it was lovely to spend some time with them. We don’t see them enough, and we’re missing Relly’s birthday for Latitude. Poo.
Tomorrow I plan to head to the library, try and find a new black top, and try and locate Wii Fit. I’m guessing I’ll hit 2 out off three.

Seriously, who thought designing sweets to look like Lego was a good idea?

“No Johnny, don’t put that small piece of plastic in your mouth. Here, have this sweet SHAPED like a small piece of plastic instead!”

Last week was my 25th birthday, which while it didn’t feel like any kind of milestone at the time, set me to thinking. About the future, about making changes in my life to benefit me. About getting off my arse and doing things I want to.

I’m all about the arbitrary goals, and over the last week I’ve been making a list of things I want to do this year. I’ve not quite finished it, but that’s okay, it’s a work in progress. I’m a work in progress. In the interests of making things neat and tidy, I’ve decided on 26 things I want to achieve or do before I’m 26.
I’ll blog about some of them, I’m sure. Hell, one of the things on my list is to blog more regularly. Some things though will be a bit more personal. You’ll have to trust me that there are 26. There will be things I’m willing to share if you ask, but not post here, some things will be for me only. If you see me, ask :)

Don’t worry, I won’t be running off to join a commune anywhere. To most people these will seem like little, trivial things, but they’re things I keep thinking ‘one day I’ll…’ One day will be today.

Here’s to being 25 and taking control of my life :)

I want to go and see rats in tubes

I wish it was bigger :(

We NEED to ensure this…BNP Candidate (I don’t want to insult him, I can’t think of anything suitably insulting to call him and I refuse to call him person) never sees the inside of the London Assembly. I’m just going to link to the article, I am not going to repost it because quite frankly it’s too upsetting. That someone can say things like he has and be given a platform for it makes me despair at the world so very much.
