h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Starting Weight Watchers and discovering you weigh less than you thought to start with

Being measured for a bra and discovering the back size is actually one size smaller but the cup size is 2 sizes bigger than I thought...

Appreciating the fact that Mum enjoyed an evening with the 'Mediaeval Babes'.

Good to treat her occasionally!

MMF

Not missing a single bus, plane, or train between Galway and here. Only took me 15 hours, too!

*Only* 15 hours? That's peanuts


Finding out my daughter's new nursery managers are rather nice people.

Successfully making cookies - well, I haven't actually tried them yet, but they *look* good!

Let's hope you didn't switch the sugar and the salt, then

Managing to eat lunch without my stomach rebelling for the first time in a week.

Getting the next page of a comic sketched out, despite constant interruption.

Having one of those days that starts out pretty grim, but just gets better as it goes on.

Cool beans, cool beans

Finding my mobile in the first place I looked after being in 4 different vehicles and 3 different towns yesterday.

Seeing the weather forecast and finding out that tomorrow, when I'm off work, is going to be lovely.

Let's hope it's right, then...

We're jinxing it!

Sitting calmly in the meeting with attitude problem vendor, and keeping strictly my opinion that the vendor is responsible for the specification and design documents, and also the traceability between these and the user requirements. Repeating this calmly, again and again, until he agreed to do the job - "but it will cost". Of course it will. It's a job, you're a contractor. But you are still responsible.

for you!

Today's little victory for me: catching that tick on my leg just as it was latching on

Eww. I had a tick in my eyelashes a couple of weeks ago. It was not fun to avoid blinking while boyfriend pulled it out with tweezers.

Ugh, ticks.
Having a nice pencil sketching workshop and proving to myself, again, that I can actually draw if I concentrate on it. Even the teacher gave me a compliment!

Nice one Elly. Want to join the Community Artists then?

One for today: Getting out the door at work before something "urgent" crops up that makes me miss the train.

Another: Making *perfect* tomato and chilli sauce.

Trumping a LOT but bellyache disappearing.

Hmpf - yes, Elly, you can come stand in for me. I just scrapped a drawing I spent half the day making because it simply wasn't working
