even though i accepted a crazy job offer, subsequently handed in my notice, am moving house after four and a half years and agreed to a double date with my ex boyfriend this week, i came on here primarily to tell you i just saw the boss from the it crowd standing outside my work.

dare i say it i really am looking forward to work...
it’s been well over a month since i got up went in and sat at my desk and i think i’m starting to lose the plot. i need routine. my jet lag has produced the worst of sleeping habits (up all night and napping at 4pm). and i’m bored. there’s only so much on demand tv one can watch on her ipad while in bed because it just seems too cold and loud outside. the nz summer has...

things that have happened in the last 48 hours
hugged an alpaca, sneezed all the way on a 28 hour flight, slept in my own bed for the first time in 31 days, got stupid drunk with friends I haven’t seen in 32 days, didn’t come last at bowling and cycled drunk around notting hill on a boris bike. it’s good to be back.

if i was in london i would have gone on to ticketmaster at 9am and all tickets would have been sold out by 9.05am, at least six months in advance before any gig. here in new zealand i’ve bought foo fighters tickets today for tomorrow’s gig. bless new zealand’s non existent population.

“oh. i kind of expected you to have picked up some new guy on your flight. you...”
– my mum on my arrival into auckland airport. just because last time it happened doesn’t mean i always go around picking up strange men on flights and make them meet my parents at the other end.

charlie brooker on THAT john lewis ad →
“I heard it coming before I saw it: reports reached me of people blubbing in front of their televisions, so moved were they by this simple tale of a fictional boy counting the hours until he can give his parents a gift for Christmas.

it's like a greek wedding in my kitchen this...
in less than 24 hours i’ve managed to COMPLETELY SMASH one tumbler glass (a damn good one too not one of the crappy ones) and the dish i bought in the foothills of a moroccan valley from a cute little old man and spent a million years choosing the exact design i wanted and have only used the once (last night).

so that's why i feel so bad right now
woke up this morning remembering we each bought a round last night which adds up to a bottle of savignon blanc downed by me, only to get to work and be reminded we met some crazy ex crack addict who joined our table and bought another two bottles. ooooooooooof.
