Little bits of not much
1. It’s Friday! Which means I’m off to Ochi for the weekend – and I’m counting the hours. The plan for the weekend involves lying on the beach, sunbathing, drinking, eating, people-watching and sleeping. I can’t wait.
2. I went to Portland for work yesterday. That is such a cruel thing to do to someone. I had to drive all the way there, sit in meetings and drive all the way back. I didn’t get a chance to go in the sea, not even one toe, and I didn’t get a chance to eat any jerk pork. However, Portland did look it’s usual goregous self from what I could see through the windows.
3. I got another flat tyre this week. This is my third flat in 2 months. Basically whenever we get heavy rain, I seem to get a flat. I can’t wait to move off the hill and back into Kingston.
4. Following on from 3, I will be moving… valuation and surveyor’s report are done, mortgage is approved, all I am now waiting on is the money to be disbursed so I can get the keys and get renovating. When will this take place? Oh, apparently it will take about 2 – 3 months for them to disburse the money!
5. And finally, I bought a new phone! And got laughed at by the man in the shop. Basically, I used to have a baby pink razor phone. It was very pretty and was a gift from the ex, and it dropped calls. All the time. And as he bought it in the US, it would cost me a fortune to get it repaired. So I have replaced it with a phone which is worth less than 1/2 the price. At which the man in the shop laughed and told me I was dumb for changing from a razor to ‘that’. I explained about the dropped calls and he was like I should still keep the (crappy) razor over the new phone that works as it looks better! Oh well, obviously I misunderstand the point of a phone – i thought it was to make calls!
