Happiness And Joy

Today's posting was going to be the annual round up but I've had quite a nice


Firstly I had a relatively pain free experience at the unemployment office here. I didn't spend any money, I resisted buying naughty drinks and when I got home after 11am I felt so full of energy that I started cleaning my flat. I cleaned my bedroom (dragging the drawers out from the wall to get rid of the dust behind it) did some ironing, and I finally got round to finishing the year long process of copying all my videos on to DVD which meant I could have a bit of a sing a long with Paul Weller as I was cleaning.

Then I went down to see my friend Elena and her little boy to give him his Christmas present. I had a great time playing cars with him and wiping his nose because . I got his Crimbo pressie right too- turns out he loves Bob The Builder so I got that right. He is really gorgeous, he's going to be such a heartbreaker when he's older. He's got really blonde hair that sticks up all around the front. At one point I told his mum that I was going to steal him and take him with me to England for Christmas and pretend to the outlaws that he was mine and the boyf's... hee hee hee

I felt so Christmassy walking from Elena's to my next destination, Hoey's to drop off her Christmas present. It was nice and chilly outside, lots of people have lights in their windows as I walking along and I felt so happy after seeing my two buddies and there was a bloke outside a supermarket dressed as Santa powering one of those hand turned wooden piped music boxes

And it is my oldest friend's 30th today. Trying to get hold of her on the phone. This means that my 30th is not too far away. Oh shit.


The only sad thing about today is that it is 7 years since we tragically lost Kirsty MacColl. RIP. If you've never heard her do me a favour and download (legally please!) or buy her last and best album- Tropical Brainstorm. Magic from beginnning to end.
