It's been a lovely weekend. Sunny, unusually warm for March, gloriously blue skies.
Yest walked both sides of Thames; south with A & C, north lost in my own thoughts. Later went out with the ViaS girls; weird slash amusing tiny tiny basement club which gave me an almost irresistible impulse to burst out in song: "Let's do the time-warp agaaaaain"... Incredible outfits: full on Austin Power girls mixed with indie/60s/etc. Shame had to leave-with-the-last-tube as per always... well, well; fun while it lasted!
Today has been one of those homely days. Launderette-ing/hoovering/cleaning/sorting/fixing. Hate cleaning but looooove it when all done.
Now; relax.

Two crazy weeks.
It's been two crazy weeks at work - as in lots and lots and lots and lots of things to do. Hopefully the bulk of it is now done, wehey!! It better be actually, cuz I'm off on hols most of next week - to Sweeeeden!! Brill, can't wait! :)
Today is a glorious sunny day and I'm off to meet some friends for a loooong walk by the Thames. Life is good.

TGIW.
It's been a crazy crazy week at work - not gonna go into detail cuz that would be very boring indeed - but let's just say that everything that in any way shape or form whatsoever could go wrong has done so. Either you tear you hair out or you laugh. So I've laughed a lot! ;)
So yeah, TGIW. Weekends rock! Just chilling at Starbucks now, drinking Chai Tea Latte (skinny, extra Chai) and fighting off the remains of my slight hangover from yesterday.
Went out with the blondes around Hoxton, ate Moroccan mezze, danced to silly tunes (yes, the famous microwave-soup-dance made an appearance), looked at cute boys, drank far too much red wine. Plus found the most delicious espresso-honey-Kahlua-chocolate-ish cocktail ever.
Now; chill.

Letting go..?
If you know me, you know I like to have things controlled/planned/organized. Not everything of course, I don't care much about small silly things like which movie to see/where to have lunch/which bar to go to/etc. But when it comes to my own life I like to feel that I'm in control, not being controlled.
I'm having a lot of difficulty at the moment accepting that in "the current economic climate" etc etc; I really don't have much say at all in what's happening in my life. No one does, of course - I'm not stupid, I realise that. But I'm used to having choices, to be able to steer my life where I want it to go. And so far - in a very broad sense - wherever I've wanted to be, that's where I've ended up.
All of a sudden I'm not in control of anything - life/living/work... it's really scaring me.
But I have to learn to take a deep breath and let go for once. Otherwise I'll worry myself sick. So here we go, deep breaths, closed eyes, counting slowly to ten....
....letting go.

Marley & Me.
Yesterday, me and Cissi went to a free preview screening of Marley & Me, starring Jennifer Aniston & Owen Wilson - plus an adorable cast of various dogs of course.
I would really recommend this film; especially to anyone who ever have had the privilege of sharing their life with one of those glorious creatures called dogs. The movie is funny, sweet, sad at times - mainly lighthearted admittedly, but also with darker moments. It doesn't get too fluffy. And don't worry; it's not all about dog-human relationships; there's quite a bit of the human-human variety too.
I can't speak for Cissi, but I certainly had a tear in my eye at the end.

Worries & Chocolate.
Everyday you read about thousands and thousands more people being made redundant/unemployed/not needed. In all countries, in all cities, in all types of businesses. Even in little Fagersta hundreds and hundreds, out of a total workforce of a few thousand, are now - or will soon - be unemployed. Scary.
I don't like uncertainty. So I've been eating a lot of chocolate recently.
I don't really think chocolate will solve any major world crises. But oh my good does it taste good. Mmm. And a bag of Maltesers can surely keep your mind occupied for, like, 10 whole minutes. I guess that means I would have to eat, like, 96 bags per day to keep my mind completely off the state of the world... Honestly, I wouldn't mind.
More chocolate to the people, y'all.
