xxx YES! YES! I DID IT!

I am so proud of myself! barring one or two exceptions where I covered two days in one post, I blogged EVERY DAY IN APRIL!

You have no idea how much of an achievement this is for me!

Just one last thing, I know I mentioned a surprise yesterday but really it was not really a surprise. My birthday is coming up, and I had an AWESOME day with two friends, Shawnee and Ana. We had a sushi/russian cake picnic in a beautiful cow-filled field, and sort of crossover role-played Lord of the Rings, played pooh sticks, teased drooling cows, and they even indulged me by letting me sing a long to most of the opening number of A Harry Potter Musical.

 

Yeah, it’s so cool, and it’s TOTALLY awesome.

I was all ready to resign myself to not posting today, but something tells me that giving up on the 29th day of 30 is a little pointless.

The fact is though, that today was a little pointless. But somehow it was nice. Even if I cried when I went running, cried when I walked/ran/stumbled past a grave, cried when Wills kissed Kate and then again, cried when I finished reading The Life of Pi, cried when a cheetah baby died in Lion Man and got teary eyes during the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows teaser trailer. Aren’t hormones spiffy?

Haha – not to worry! Really I’ve had an awesome day. I got nice socks. I’m not sure if they’re pink or orange so I’ve settled for ‘salmon’. And the ending of The Life of Pi was great! And Better With You is funny enough to make me laugh.

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. Why? I guess you’ll find out soon enough……..

Until then, pretty pictures!

xviii Wills and Kate

Wills and Kate are getting married tomorrow and I thought I’d dedicate this to them. Partly because I’m running out of blog post ideas, but largely because it’ll annoy my religiously hard-core republican dad*.

Something old: the vintage green and leather Samsonite briefcase I got for a fiver today from a charity shop. SCORE.

Something new: I’m going to go right ahead and class the briefcase together with the new 70p plastic water bottle I got. CHECK.

Something borrowed: Ok, I’ll admit, I’m struggling with this one, but I can wing it… the air I breathe. It is borrowed from those creatures on this earth who do not have to carry the immeasurable guilt of the human race on their Edit: Yup, I just, uh, didn’t finish that sentence…

Something blue: The sky is blue tonight, instead of orange! Let me explain: we live in a suburb on a hill. At the far side of the hill runs a busy motorway which normally lights up the night sky in an ugly sickly orange-grey colour. Not tonight! I’m not sure why, but it’s blue. Anyway, that counts.

Yup. And since my 90-year-old grandmother told me I am of a marriageable age now, I’m all set.
Anyone interested?
