Took half a day off
This weekend it's S's birthday, so yesterday we went out for the morning for a mooch around the malls at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth. Funny, we both bought quite a few things in Gap, but since she was taking a load back the total on the card was only £25 - like we have our own Gap savings plan going.
Anyway, since I sold the car she was driving, and the one I replaced it with just last week, we took the trip in one of my part-exchanges. Seems a reasonable enough car on the face of it, but stinks of stale smoke inside. It was left unsaid for about five minutes, but the 'atmosphere' at the beginning of our supposed day out together was decidedly tarnished to say the least. I have to admit that I put that to rights as soon as I had the chance yesterday evening by finding a really nice car for S to use for a while. She deserves more for the support she gives me.
Which reminds me, I deserve more too! I have a friend's Aston Martin DB7 to use if I want to, all I have to do is put a new battery on it and I could use pretty much as much as I wanted to - but guess whose been too busy to even remember it's there for me.
Probably loads to blog about, but it's taken avoiding a drama on tele that was just stressing me out (I've not really been the same since my last escapade, too sensitive to stress by half) to sit in front of the 'puter and improve my breathing while typing.
The business seems to be running fairly well. Would be better if it was more stable, but dealing with something I have to go and buy - with no real idea exactly what I will actually buy in a period, and selling it too, to exactly who depends on how good my advertising is all adds up to a strange perms-anxiety environment, that in a perverse way, may keep me on my toes and actually contribute to the success to date. If that all sounds gibberish, it does to me too, but seems quite hard to describe just how tenuous the whole set-up really is. Will either still be running in a year or so and all hunky dory, or I'll be back behind a desk with a 'proper' job.
Otherwsie, enjoying having the new laptop and we can all use it in the same room while the tele is on or something. i.e not spread around the house on different projects. Will think of something different to chat about soon.
If there are any spelling mistakes, apologies - I have got used to the Wordpress blog having a spell checker and too bloody lazy to read back through this!
Oh, I am all for Scholari getting the England football manager's job, he was the only one qualified - and I am sure he'll be speaking better English than your average football supporter in no time at all!
It's a HP nc6220, I forget the spec but i has 1gb RAM and it's lightspeed hehe. Corporate spec supplied by my friend who ensures me you can get bits for these five years after obsolescence. We will see! Nonetheless it's great to have a full wireless bit of kit at hone, although VERY DANGEROUS for a workaholic to have his g-mail notifier tripping up stock opportunities during whatever I am watching between 10 - 11pm (the only time I stop nowadays!)
