play date take 2

Ms Ali and I are going to try and have our play date tomorrow.  Very trashy movie @ The Sun Theatre, followed by chocolate for lunch @ Co'klat. Chocolate waffle, with ianilla ice cream and melted white chocolate all over, possibly with strawberries if I feel the need to be healthy. Wash it all down with a milk hot chocolate (with more vanilla ice cream of course) and I should be ready for my diabetic coma by the time I get home.

I'm still feeling good, if a little tired. I managed to oversleep on Sunday. It's been so long since I had such a solid block of sleep that my body has forgotten how to cope. I'm sure it will revert soon enough.

Last week I was having phone issues. It's playing nicely for the moment, which is good as I still haven't made a decision on what I want. This has been complicated by the fact that new dual-processor smartphones are also due this year. So I have decided to instead focus on the other tech-dinosaur in my life; my laptop. To be fair, it has served me well over the last 5 years. And it would probably continue to do so, if it weren't for a few things. The biggest issue is that I can't move it. There is a lose wire somewhere inside my screen, and it shuts everything down if you bump the screen. I then have to take out the battery each time, otherwise it will not allow the computer to restart. Not much of a laptop if it has to stay open on the desk every time I want to use it. I plan to replace it with this

For now I have a lamb roast in the oven, which will keep me occupied for a little while. And I am all psyched for Miss A's BBQ next week. Have got plans for two pav's, so nobody misses out. 

Can't run the risk of anyone going hungry.

technical issues

My phone has not been playing nicely. Which is not completely unexpected, as it is an old old phone. I have been putting off getting a new one for a while, but may finally have to bite the bullet. I can't have anything apple related, unless I want Miss R to murder me with it in my sleep. I'm torn between a nice shiney smartphone, or a no-frills mobile. Given that I'm still playing with my blog/twitter I might be better off going with a smart phone, but part of me thinks that I'll probably lose interest and would be better off getting something basic. Decisions decisions.

On the funky front I'm still feeling good. Did give in to the stupidity impulse earlier, and tried to make contact, but didn't get through. Didn't really expect to, but figured it was worth trying. Seems a shame to write-off what had been shaping up to be a promising friendship, but such is life. Even Hawm of the "infinite patience" has to draw the line somewhere.

Off to the bloodbank tomorrow. Hopefully no needle issues. The feeling like a balloon is trying to inflate inside your vein is not one I care to repeat. Pain may build character, but I'd like to think I have more than enough character by now.
