Today was a funny day. I spent most of the day sorting out the company accounts, and talking to the accountant and bank manager. We also made some really good tops in the studio. Purplejenny (the fashion company I started) is nearly, finally, ready to launch and there's so much going on that I sometimes think my head will explode. I headed home early yesterday to get some sleep in order to prevent cranial catastrophe, and somehow en route managed to lose my purse. I am a part time idiot, and often do daft things.

Anyway, by the time I woke up there was a message on my mobile from the person who had found my purse, and I arranged to collect it after work the next day. This unusual diversion from my route home took me through Tottenham in the rain, and involved carrying my bike up and down loads of steps... Grrr. I have a big problem with carrying my bike up and down stairs cos its big and heavy and I'm only little.

I got my purse back from Marian, a very fragrant lady with an amazing bouffant hair-do and rewarded her with a box of chocs. It's really good to have someone take care of a lost thing and return it to its owner, and that's just what Marian and her son had done.

I then cycled back to the station, carried bike up and down steps etc, only for the train to be cancelled. Booo. So, me and bike up and over the bridge (again..puff..pant etc...) and then all the way home - mostly uphill.

So, now my legs are tired, I am developing biceps through extensive bicycle lugging, but I do have my purse back. Three cheers for returners of lost property, big fat boo to WAGN trains.

More exciting developments in jennyland soon.
