Who's going to drive you home
May. 31st, 2004 10:02 pmI seem to have spent most of the last few days driving. Cambridge to Oxford and back in one night earlier this week; Cambridge to Camden and back in one night on Saturday night; and then up to visit my parents, near Loughborough, yesterday (coming back today).
( car whine )
I had the day off work on Friday, partly so that I could relax over a superb lunch at Loch Fyne on Friday with the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lnr. I'd vaguely considered going to the beer festival later on, but after a huge and delicious meal -- not to mention a bottle of wine and half a bottle of dessert wine between us! -- I just wanted to sleep. Mmmmm. Am all inspired to cook (or not cook!) more FISH, with a view to which I have borrowed a Rick Stein book (only 10 recipes, a sort of sampler of the real book) from my parents. Now I just have to persuade sion_a that fish is a vegetable. :-)
Weekend with parents was busy. I sorted out stacks of books (some will be sold on Amazon, some will be relegated to the loft, and most will stay on the shelves), poked around in the garage and the loft looking for my mum's red and black kaftan which she is sure won't have been thrown away, sorted through some other piles of clothes, and other junk which will go in a car boot sale at some point. When I write all this down it doesn't sound terribly busy, but it's always quite tiring sorting stuff out ... making decisions about fragments of my past.
Also spent an awful lot of time trying to fix my silly dress for Glastonbury. ( dressing up )
Returned to Cambridge to find that I've managed to give away loads of random crap on ucam.adverts.giveaway, and I've also managed to sell another book on Amazon. That means I have a) made some space, and b) made some money! I like this game.
