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

In and out. 5 months since my last post...hmmm 'last post' possibly not the best choice of words...one certainly hopes it isn't.
All good in Boots land. College going surprisingly well...tough but holding my head above water as I learn how to 'work to live' in the day job...still there, surprisingly, but I think I am probably unemployable anywhere else and it does allow me to catch the 9.54 which is positively civilised on a commuter run.
Baby Boots and Ravager pup are meeting up tomorrow in Thailand and I fly out to join them on the 18th...Christmas in the sun sounds like heaven.
Took Ravager pup to airport at stupid hour, one piece of hand luggage and not even clean knickers...big smile of anticipation probably more useful.

Have a lodger, which is great fun but bad news for my waistline. He cooks, he cooks for both of us EVERY day. He also cleans and irons and is more than a tad in touch with his feminine side. Every girl should have one...waistline aside.
He also works for the press and there are huge pluses to that. We fly to Cornwall for a spa weekend on Friday. Car waiting and two nights in two different 5 star spa hotels all for the handsome price of....an article.

At a dinner with day job last week and the Gods were, for some reason, interested in my college course.

"What do you want to write when you've finished" enquires a Knight of the realm.
'I thought I'd like to be a travel writer for Condenast' quoth I.

"Oh I'm sure you can do far better than that!"

Excuse me there is no better than that! Thought I'd best not mention that being a script writer for 'Enders was also high on my aspiration list...even my tutors frown on that goal.

Hope all is well with friends in Hootoo land and will try and post more often. Perhaps even put a college piece up for the post, but it all plays and film scripts and as I am challenged in any kind of html department it might look a bit odd on the page.
Take care all
Boots

Boots, hearing from you occasionally is far better than not hearing at all.

I can't imagine going back to college. My hat is off to you. And I'm jealous of anyone with a lodger or partner who cooks. F wouldn't even make toast.

Good to hear that all is well, never mind the toast! College is the best! Everyone should do it...makes you feel about 12 again! We are a very diverse group 24 - 74 and all walks of life the common interest...writing, and such a beautiful place...right in the middle of Regent's Park who could ask for a more special location? I feel very blessed...stressed but blessed!
Take care Hyp
Boots xx
