clarity

Disturbingly whilst trying to describe why I have no ambition at work this evening a number of facts fell into place.
I really don’t need anything. I am happy in my job role – not always but generally. I have a supportive team and good working friendships and relationships.
I have my health. Somewhere to live and enough money to treat myself mostly when I want. I have a fantastic groups of friends who like me for who I am and I love them for who they are.
I won’t say I have everything I want , but need an want are very subjectively different.
If I manage to survive the weekend with my health I’ll continue to be happy.
So for now I have no plans to change jobs – nothing glizty or high profile required for me. No long meaningless job title. I want more money – but you know I am greedy by nature. I think to be honest we all are.
Anyways I thought I would set the record straight after arguing in thepub tonight. Although I obviously can;t set the record straight about breasts. Less said about that the better I think.
Oh and …

not sure if i should link this but…

My husband and I were playing Jenga afterward. When the Jenga collapsed, I shouted “North Tower.” Then the second round of the game, we shouted, “South Tower.” Now we don’t call it Jenga anymore. We call it North Tower.
Quite possibly the most politically incorrect site around. I will never be able to play Jenga again without thinking of some sicko in the states 🙁

Earlsfield SW18, Courgettes & Bert is evil ;)

I like Earlsfield – I especially like visiting now Jacs has moved there. It’s a nice area and so yesterday on my way for dinner I popped into a few Estate Agents along the way and sussed out the prices of a few places. Not quite as unaffoirdable as I thought three years ago. Still a tad poricey though I think when it’s just me buying it. Still if we don’t have dreams.
Courgettes – that’s the main staple at Jacs and Helen’s recently by all accounts. Urban vegetable subsistence gardening it isn’t but food straight out your garden is great. Unfortunately it’s feast or famine with the blighters. Andrew and I used to have the same problem with swiss chard, tomatoes, pears and numerous other vegetable staples. We’d end up making chutney and strudels and pickling and preserving. I almost felt like I was an extra in the good life!
So when Sinead arrived there were five of us for dinner including Fiona too. Sinead I later discovereed plays tennis with one of the three most important women in my company. I may take up tennis so I can casually ask for that pay rise 😉
During the course of the meal [and a few glasses of bubbly later] Bert the resident cat decided to pay me attention. I love cats but unfortunately am very allergic to them. So last night I spent most of the evning wheezing when I should have been sleeping. I must remember to take my antihistamine next time.

I missed Six Feet Under starting on E4 – thank the lord for second chance sunday is all I can say :o)
