This, that, candles and cakes

It's brilliant, this is - while the desktop computer is slugging away burning discs and ripping my CD collection as mp3s to take with me, I can do other stuff with the lappy. And no, I've not decided on a name yet, I still need to find out the character of this piece of technology. Although I'm saying "No!" to it a lot when once again, it does things I don't want it to or can't figure out why it does what it does.

I have been around a lot of places yesterday, cancelling things, like the bank order for my share of our band's rehearsal room, or my enrolment at University. I am no more a student, and for some reason, that has surprised me by hitting me rather hard, even though to be honest, I was only a pro forma student anyway.

When I was in London, I thought about old friends a lot, and one in particular. I was imagining what she would have said to the developments in my life, and I believe she would have cheered me on - I could almost read what she would have typed in reply to my enthusiastic posts about the changes happening to me. Today is her birthday. I still miss her terribly.

Who would have thought this could happen

I'm bored.
Not bored as in "I have nothing to do", more bored as in "I have so many things to do that my brain switches off and I sit here, doing nothing".
Luckily, there's a Miss Marple film later in the evening, with Margaret Rutherford, the one true Miss Marple.
Also, there's always audiobooks and knitting to keep my brain and hands occupied.
