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

I'm home, my holiday is over and S and I are both back in our nice but still cold flat. Boiler repair man be fixing that tomorrow.

Regular readers here or on my Blog (which i keep at http://minichessemouse.wordpress.com/ ) may know that last year I took part in Dundee Scout Gangshow. Well rehearsals have begun for next year's offering. I have just been to my first. I arrived early in order to explain my previous absence, got measured for my costumes (whatever they may be) and sat around waiting for the rehearsal. It was okay, but it looks as though this year may be a repeat of last, with very few people speaking to me both at rehearsals, and during the show.

In other news I had *lots* of parcels waiting for me today. My selection of plectrums, plus holder for same, my Capo, my book (yes the one I was waiting for) and a miniature (2 foot tall) christmas tree.

I tried to put said tree up (which consists of turning it from a green cone shape, to a green tree shape) but S said I wasn't allowed until December 1st.

I have the beginnings of what is threatening to be a nasty headache, possibly a migraine if it get;s it's steel toe cap boots out, and it's pickaxe.

I have class tomorrow at 9am, a guitar lesson at 12, the boiler repairman is coming at 12 and then another class at 3-5pm. I could really do without a migraine, especially as i have DEADLINES coming towards me in a large Whooshy kind of fashion.

A lab reoprt, and an essay, 3000 and 2000 words respectivley, and at least one of them is due Monday next week.

Did you write the book mini or buy it?

I agree that one absolutely mustn't put the tree up until December 1st AT THE EARLIEST. It's important. I can't remember why, but it is.

Hope your poor head feels better in the morning.
