Hola! Frizzychick!

Not spoken to you in a while. How goes it? Having fun I hope?

Hola right back atcha.

I'm doing well, thanks Zed - life is currently on the sunny side of the street. I've recently had my temporary contract at work promoted to a permanent one - which is kinda groovy. Loads of exciting stuff going on at work thatI'm involved in (writing and researching stuff, exhibition work, planning etc.). Bit overworked, but it's better than being either underemployed or unemployed.

And if I can drag myself away from this machine I'm going for an early morning swim.

Hey wow! You doin' really good by the sound of it! I'm jolly pleased for you, it's nice to hear of people having fun!

Overworked but with interesting things makes the time fly

Did'ya get the swim?

Didn't quite make it to the baths, unfortunately. Desperately need to take exercies but can't quite seem to get round to it - I guess I'm just naturally bone-idle

How's tricks?

Early morning swim gets the day off to a good start but can be a serious pain getting up!

I can't go swimming lately, getting tattooed

Tricks fine - I been getting excercies lifting bike in & out of vans! LOL

I'm having an Alice In Wonderland tattoo on the top of my left leg (between the scars ) I've had 3 sittings now, and honestly expect a couple more. It's being done pointillion (little tiny dots), so it takes hours to build up a field of colour! Next sitting on wednesday.

The major problem with getting tattooed is it is SO addictive. I have one more that needs colouring in - that sounds terribly childish - and I've seen at least 2 more I really fancy!

I have to say the tattoist I go to, a husband & wife team, have such a gentle touch, I practically nod off! Kate did one on the back of my neck before christmas, which I thought was going to be really painful, but not at all. Very odd sensation tho!

Quick plug, I go to Second Skin, of Buckingham, England - the nicest people!

Have fun, get inked

- When do we want it?

ROFL!!!

Not going to go down in history as one of the greatest revolutionary chants, but had me laughing

When it's finished, I promise!

Kensington wanted a tatoo of a potato. I told him that the needle might cause him undue and permanent harm. In the end I drew a potato on his back with a felt-tip marker. It's since worn off.

i've been stamping fake tattoos on people for the last three days - they rock
