Not the first day of the rest of my life *again*!

[purplerabbits]

I am going to attempt to update a little more often, since, among other reasons, it will help me with my CBT (get your minds out of the gutter over there!) I feel I owe you lot some updates anyway, but be warned some of these could (if I even manage to do it) end up as lists of good/bad things or similar. So to liven things up there will be an opportunity for questions at the end of this post.

Meanwhile -

Good things

Yesterday I:

made it too work in spite of being off in the morning

got the stuff in Boots I needed

ate Boots sushi and low fat crisps and a Danone thing

invented a new and delicious soup - recipe to follow

painted and put shelves back up in the ongoing living room decoration

read a lot of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell

made dinner out of pasta and mushrooms and stuff

Today I:

ate porridge

took a bag of books to the charity shop

made my psychologists appointment

and walked both ways

and therefore had the morning off totally legitimately

bought a new filter to make the cafetiere work (at Grays of George Street, natch)

went out of the building at lunchtime

and bought a giant tub of Fairtrade coffee

and some veg to stir fry tonight

ate healthy soup and a wholemeal roll

Bad things

On Sunday I got so drunk that I couldn't come in on Monday morning. I am now Not Drinking for at least Sundays to Wednesdays and I have to work out how to drink a hell of a lot less when I do go out to pubs etc. The last couple of weeks I've been caning it and it's made me very depressed - no shit Sherlock

And now for your questions - if you have been patient thus far I will reward you by promising to answer the next five questions about my life and doings. Also if there are no questions I may cry.

Kit Williams, or maybe Charles Vess

Beryll Cook

There's a thing of Saint Bridget being carried away by angels in the national I like

The pigeons on Leith Walk - just the right height to break your ankle on

Yes. 9-11 August is all free right now. I want to go to Vaudeville on the 10th or 11th too, would you be up for that?

I would certainly be up for vaudville
but only 10th, as have gaming on Thursdays
we could art gallery on the afternoon of the 10th
fruit, city and national all being within spitting distance of each other and I suppose I should go see the gaugin things.

That sounds ideal. I think I get a free drink at Vaudeville as I have a membership card, and it's only a fiver. Where is Gaughin?
