Arghhh !

No internet at work since the virus thing at the begining of the week. I am suffering serious withdrawal symptoms and with the exams drawing close, Him Indoors has been hogging the computer for coursework and revisions.


Not sure if it is a result of the withdrawl but I feel a bit scatterbrained hence he scatty post.


Got a card from Constance who used to be our lovely au-pair. She is still lovely of course but no longer our au-pair. We miss her. The girl who replaced her is nice, but still it'snot quite the same.


So far out of the 9/10 invites for the bowling birthday party out only 3 have rsvped but I am still cool and collected, honest.


Technical question: is it possible to go for a ciggie break at work when you don't smoke and don't particularly want to take up smoking.


Him Indoors has bought me a pedometer and I have joined the counting steps madness. Depending on how fast/purposefully I walk it takes between 3,500 and 4,000 steps to walk to work. Throughout the day my job is so sedentary that I only clock up 500 to 1,000 steps at work. I was hoping I was close to the10,000 "ideal" a day. Looks like not. By the time I get home I still need to find a way to make up for a 1,500 shortfall.


The is a blackbird in the garden who has taken a dislike to one of my batavia lettuce plants and has ben picking it to the point of plucking it out of the ground. I have replanted it 4 times already. It's always the same one. I wonder if I should just give up on it or if I do give up on it, if the blackbird will start on the other ones. I must have looked completely bonkers this morning when I was telling the cat off for not chasing the blackbird away, and not earning his catfood. I am turning into one of the mad old ladies who talk to their pets. All hope is lost (as Him Indoors mutters, you're not that old really).

It's just that with the nice weather on it's way, it would be nice to join in with the smokers for a bit of gossip. Loo break is not quite the same.
