    Scared of the dark?

    Posted on by snee

    Just read a webpage during lunch and it reminded me of something, so I’ll just jot it down for y’all (I’ve probably mentioned it before, but it’s quite honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen). When I was in Morocco earlier this year (don’t think I’ve mentioned I went to Morocco have I?), we all went on a 3 day trek into the desert. While in the camp, I was caught short in the night so wandered out of camp to relieve my bladder. While peeing, I happened to look up, and was totally amazed – I […]

    I've not blogged much recently…

    But in my defence, I’ve been busy 🙂 Busy getting back into the whole work routine after my holiday (I DID mention I went to Morocco didn’t I?), and busy seeing the Significant Other (Henceforth known as ‘SO’). Yes, it’s true – I am officially no longer single 🙂 Anyway, back to bloggy stuff: Morocco was awesome – we went just about the right time of year, temperature was 29-31 every day so not too hot. The people there are amazing – it’s so good to see different cultures (and I don’t mean leaving a dinner plate under your bed […]

    Back to normal

    Posted on by snee

    After a glorious week, it’s so difficult to get back into the work routine. Uploaded so many pics from Morocco to Flikr, have to check the videos I took now and get them on YouTube 😛 Moroccan food is so good 🙂 hard to find beer really (but that was a mission we succeeded in!), tried the Moroccan ‘chocolate’ ;)…wow – totally wiped out from that :). We managed to get lost twice (at least) – first night we took a taxi into the Medina, wandered about and had to get a taxi back to the hotel ‘cos we couldn’t […]

    70 hours…

    And we’ll be taking off for Morocco 🙂 I really should start thinking about packing I guess…so much to do: get a haircut, have a shave (although I look kinda Muslim with my beard I’ve been told). Got to give Brian (lodger #1) instructions on feeding Gif – the cat will try to get extra food, greedy fat bastard! And tomorrow is Ewa’s (lodger #2) birthday – Dennis will be back so we’ll go out and celebrate that, then Saturday to recover a little and off Sunday morning. Poor Harriett – she said she’d drive us to the airport, but […]

    Happy days…

    Great week (so far) at work – lots of orders coming in, work going out – all is good 🙂 V Festival tickets go on sale March 6 – I’m definitely going this year, so gotta grab them when I can rather than relying on the roulette that is Ebay nearer the time (August 22-23 😉 ). So anyway, I’m trying to save some money for my Morocco break. It seems so easy – I stay in, do housework and don’t spend money. What actually happens is: I stay in, stare at the housework waiting to be done, eat more, […]

    Cold weather…

    I hate it. I’ve got the use of a company vehicle – a Ford Galaxy. It’s great, heated windscreen so it’s easy to defrost. The fact it has a seperate key for the doors and ignition means I go out in the morning, start it up, go back inside and have a coffee, then go out 10 minutes later and it’s all de-iced and toasty warm* 🙂 Of course, the other day I had the van (no heated windscreen 🙁 ), and left a friend’s house at 4am so I had to de-ice it, drive home, then de-ice it AGAIN […]

    Dreams/nightmares

    Posted on by snee

    Last night I had my first nightmare in absolutely YEARS. I forget the details, but waking up at 2am screaming for my mum, with my heart thudding wasn’t something I enjoyed. Took about 30 minutes for my (normally pretty much perfect) heart rate to slow to normal, then another hour or so staring at the ceiling before I could get back to sleep. Still woke up proper at 5am, so I called it quits and got up. And so, numerous coffees later, I’m at work already wired – seems it may turn into a long day… Also, I decided not […]
