A Week On

Time to reflect therefore on MIF 2011. I had a fantastic time. I love culture and stuff like that. The only real disappointment was Johnny Vegas. Nice idea but really badly written and poor execution. The highlights were Maria Abramovich - just incredible and indescribable and Damon Albarn - beautiful to look at and to listen to. Surprise hit was Macbeth. In a cave. With an Irish accent.

The week back in work has been the usual bollocks from the usual suspects. I started the week with 135 unread e-mails and ended the week with 97 unread e-mails. And I read about a thousand during the week (maybe a little exaggeration there but not much!). Did 2 helpline shifts making some new friends along the way, had dinner with the lovely Sarah from Leeds at Felicinis - its been so long! - and did a course on public speaking in Leeds. Which was fun.

Off to the lovely Paul & Maggie's tonight for a meal. They're always good fun (albeit that they live in Flixton - sorry Maggie). I have to take my own martini although they do supply vodka...

DD was round in the week to watch The Apprentice final which was fun. Poor Helen although she only had herself to blame. Was reviewing twitter whilst it was on and when it came to the boardroom and she changed her business plan before our very eyes, someone tweeted "Bollocks. I'll make biscuits then. Whatever" which really made me laugh. Perhaps it only works if you read it at the time though. Didn't think Torchwood lived up to the standard of the opening episode this week. Although the gay steward joke was quite good. That's all. J x
