Singular Scene

I can’t believe the weekend is nearly over… I need a day off to recover from it…

I am about to crash out for a nanna nap… I swear I don’t know why I’m so tired. Last night wasn’t late – but it was very exciting… THE ALL BLACKS WON the Bledisloe Cup. Such a thing is enough to make a Kiwi girl very happy indeed.

The engagement party went well. I think my issue with parties is that I have a very short attention span and a very low tolerance for small talk… I don’t deliver small talk well and get fidgety if I have to listen to it for long… I guess an intimate dinner party and real conversation that goes beyond the what you do and who your family are is much more my cup of tea… Still the engaged have been suitably honoured!!!

I did some good work on a site design last night… what do you think of it? Actually, feedback would be great… white background or black preferred? The client is concerned with presenting a professional face to corporate seminar and event type businesses so is concerned that black might be a bit too rocknroll… The logo is set so I felt that black was the go… Any suggestions welcome…

I had lunch with Little Bit today… she’s Miss Lisa’s flatmate so I had lunch with Miss Lisa too… what a relaxed way to spend Sunday afternoon!! Little Bit is a phenomenal cook so I will only be needing cheese on toast for dinner tonight… and I venture to suggest that such a great lunch is the reason for the total lack of energy…

Ah well… I’m hitting the sack… See you tomorrow

Some mornings you just know it’s going to be a Pancake Day don’t you?

Today was such a day…

Domestic Goddess that I am, I managed to whip up a feed of completely respectable pancakes and smothered them with maple syrup (and a spot of butter)… And ate them… and now I have to go and party with the engaged…

Don’t think I’m going to be eating much…

The weekend is an hour away and it couldn’t feel further!!! I am tired, I have a big weekend on, so hopefully Surf won’t call up tonight and say “I have bailed on the party (we were both supposed to be at) come over and play!”

Mr Africa is still away, and to be a little bit honest I think his absence has been responsible for my increasing inability to concentrate on the job at hand… I have had the single least productive 3 days this term!!! Gah… Of course, that’s combined with a list of tasks I find singularly uninspiring… which isn’t helpful… Please keep it on the quiet that the private contracts are feeling a lot more interesting these days than the real job stuff…

The weekend promises an engagement party … I am so hopeless at being sociable. Less so in the last year than ever before but I wonder sometimes if I am now more true to myself than in the past. I have bailed on Tez’s 30th this evening because a) his new girlfriend will be there b) too many strangers, c) it’s another opportunity I don’t want to miss to work on the private jobs.

No wonder I’m a tragic spinster… I don’t go out!!!

Ian asked yesterday when I was going to Hawaii… I leave on the 2nd of September and return to Sydney on September the 11th… Yikes…

It is all happening so soon… Now that I have the cash in my hot little hand I can start getting a teensy bit excited!!!
