Job interview on Monday! ;D  (And they sound like they're really interested in me...only downside, it's all full-time & I'd hoped for part-time.  Still, after holiday, I'm sure DH would be chuffed if I were working full-time again & adding to (vs draining) the bank account. :P)

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

not one, but TWO warm sunny days in a row :) It was up to 25C (77F) here earlier! I was out in the garden as long as my pasty whiteness could take it ;) That and I really needed lunch.

Hoping it stays this way for a bit longer at least!! :)

That's really heart-warming.

Not totally unexpected...but my dad just called w/the news that mum is out of surgery and in recovery, doing well.  (She had surgery to correct a ruptured disc in her neck and put in a bone graft.)  Such a relief!
When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

Finding out the reason my boss has not yet returned from his luncheon appointment is because he's trapped by the Elephant Procession!
