Had a quite chilled out day today, I went to meet Amy And Dannii in town, though Amy turned up late due to crazy traffic. It was blistering hot though, but I was loving it. As long as I have some sunglasses on then I’m good. It’s funny, in the winter I live in my scarf and in the summer I live in sunglasses.

Dannii and me ended up having lunch at some random cafe/restaurant place I’d never been to - it was really good. I had lasagne and salad that was proper tasty and filling. Then Amy caught up with us and her friend while Dannii had to head off herself, and we loitered about town until we headed into such a lovely beer garden in a pub I’d never drank at before. And it was lovely, just lovely, sat outside in the warmth with a cold drink or two.

Then I hit tescos and brought the oddest variety of shopping including razorblades, butter and rose. Yes! I am badly craving rose, so thought would be nice to sip on with dinner tonight in the nice weather to cool me off.

I really really wish I could have a barbecue right now, or even last night, that would have been perfect. Gargh I wish I could magically gather people up in wolves like the olde times and just have a barbe then.

But none the less, the weather is wonderful, it’s a glorious summery weekend, and I’m loving it. I swear my mood is directly linked to the state of the weather.

Anyhow I seemingly still have 101 things to do despite it being the weekend, must get them sorted else I’ll ignore them like I tend to do.

I want a holiday. I don’t know where to go. Note a holiday is different from ‘going travelling, I think of a holiday is more of a get away thing. Just chilling out. Travelling has a lot more to it, plus it’s a bit more winging it rather than lounging about a really badass hotel and badass cafes and stuff like that.

My last holiday was Stockholm, and even then it was only a long weekend and had the main purpose of going to a gig. It seems like decades since I’d last just gone somewhere for the sake of it, just a normal simple holiday. Not a boring beach holiday mind, where it’s just filled with people getting lobster coloured in an attempt to get a tan. I’ll like to go see things, eat different cool stuff, marvel at stuff around me etc. I mean where can I go to be able to do all that? Or maybe I am just clouded by the dreamy picturesque concept of this perfect little chilled out place.

Then again there was this wonderful long street in Stockholm, that was littered with cafes and shops. The cafe we stopped in to write postcards (and have tea and cake!) was wonderful. So maybe there is somewhere out there…

In other news, I’m really itching to see Dark Knight when it comes out, it’s very rare I find myself looking forward to a film release, but I just know it’s going to be badass.

Work was a busy four hours, loads to do, and barely actually did anything on the shop floor itself the whole time. Instead I found myself laughing my head off in the store’s display windows while trying to hang up the sale window display signs. It was a bit stressful though and we didn’t get that job finished before our shifts were up. Though I’m damn well glad I could escape.

Death o’clock shift tomorrow morning, I can’t imagine it being really busy at such an early time. But the last sale did result in a packed store. And this time round I doubt it will be any different, if not worse. I’m actually scared if I have to go work on the till :/ Erk.

Though yeah, it’ll be fine…I think, I’ll somehow make it through the day, then go home to try and sleep, then fail and go see Amy and other random people that night. And then that’ll be another week gone…

Which is bad because summer seems to be going so quickly and I’ve barely had any social fun yet, I’ve had other fun mind but you know you need some fun with your mates too. Hope the two festys sort me out. I need to huck a frisbee :(

Oh and I’m addicted to treacle tarts from the bakery :/ I’m going to get fat(ter?)! And I’m totally reloving The Bends by Radiohead, such a goodd album, I’m actually beginning to think I like it more than Ok Computer (that’s a weird album and reminds me summertime a few years back, driving to my uni city late summer evenings, winding down some empty roads).

I’m listening to some Explosions in the sky at the moment. It’s lovely, almost beautiful, in it’s own odd way.

Tonight I’m in a really really good mood, tomorrow morning I’ll be cursing everything again, but for tonight I’m all good.

I had a rather good weekend, it’s surprising how much you can do in a short space of time.

Here is a list of some random thoughts

• Aunt bessie’s ready made gingerbread men dough is pretty good
• Ceramic painting is actually fun
• I still can’t swim
• I need sleep
• I’ve eaten too much crap this weekend
• I think I would like to learn how to bake more things
• I’m destressed for now, which is cool
• The new iphone is pretty sweet, I wouldn’t mind one I like the whole on the go internet thing. Though would probably be bad idea having the internet at my fingertips all the time

Yeah, that’s about it. I’m tired and full and I need to sleep before I get up at death o’clock where I will go ‘ugh’ and want bed again.

Going to be soo busy this week. With my crazy work hours this weekend too.

Can’t wait till I can go away again. But that’s a thought for later, for now. I’m going to just chillax…

Thank god it’s the weekend!

I’m off to Leeds later today, well tomorrow, I’ll be hitting the flat of rock for a short period of time before catching up with Paul for the evening. Then other random stuff, hopefully raw fish on rice will be involved.

Anyway yeah, I needed to make a list again.

Don’t forget!

• Tent
• Present/card stuff
• Brownie!
• Laptop
• Check directions to Kev’s
• Those nandos stamp cards
• Girly shoes
• Girly outfit
