ooh and also almost forgot

ooh and also almost forgot [sorry] it’s Meg‘s birthday today so many happy returns 😉

okay so Jack is officially

okay so Jack is officially sick :o(
He visited the vet this morning and had the indignity of a thermometer up his bum! He has been vomiting all night and then had the runs this morning. So after a consultation at the vet he has had a couple of jabs and given some tablets to take for the next few days and has oral rehydration powder for his water to keep him from dehydrating. poor poor jack – he is currently wrapped in my duvet zedding away.
This of course means that I am not in work today – should have been my first day back but jack has put paid to that idea. I did consider taking him in with me but he has been puking alll over the flat this morning too so maybe not the best way for him to meet my work colleagues.

In other news dave-o has scored some chicken over the week-end so we can start calling him the colonel now 😉 and he also posted a rather cute pic of himself. something I have been loathe to do on this site – who wants to see pics of me eh? I mean… so here is one of dave-o instead!

jack is feeling a little

jack is feeling a little better he wanted to go for a walk – which I took as a good sign. He had his second set of tablets for today and some more fluids and then a little boiled fish. something bland the vet said “a little boiled fish or chicken”. I couldn’t bring myself to boil chicken
So I missed Meg‘s birthday soiree because he was not well. Shame cos I wanted to grill Dave-o about his chicken :o)
It’s cold and wet in the UK and I do not like it :o( bring back the need for air conditioning I say!

okay well I am back

okay well I am back in London now after the two 8 hour flights yesterday. Melatonin is a fantastic invention. Woke up sleepy [thanks scally for that call] and took Jack out for a walk – he was very happy to see me. I was very happy to see him. Pets they are fab no expectations and they are always happy to see you!
Well I arrived back to the flat like a sauna Elric had managed to leave the heating on manually full for the past 3 weeks so all my plants are a little dead or brown around the edges. The food that I left him in the Fridge before I left was unfortunately still in the fridge [and growing some new life forms] and anything that had been used up was lying around empty. So no coffee or washing powder then :o(
Luckily Andrew had brought me home with Jack and got an indian takeaway so at least we had something to eat!

I am not sure if I am missing Singapore [the company especially] or Sydney [the place and the atmosphere] more. All I know is it has strengthened my resolve to leave the UK for a while. I am going to be asking for that job in Oz with AOL and see what happens. It would only be an eight hour flight to my brother in Singapore then too. Unfortunately Naz will have moved to NY by then – not to worry I’ll be likely visiting Ny more frequently now that hotel expenses have vanished I do like wandering around manhattan. Not sure if I could live there though it’sa ll a bit too hectic like London. Sydney had a much more relaxed pace. Yes I know I was on holiday but you know what I mean.
Met up with Naz a couple more times before I left Singapore and he met the in laws he joined us for dinner on Thursday night. So all in all it was a very relaxing extra couple of days and I’m so glad I did not try and do all the trip in one day. Yesterday was bad enough. We sat and discussed last night how it was like flying to the states and sitting in the airport for a couple of hours and then flying home again . And it felt like it too. The first trip Singapore to Bahrain was made bearable by meeting a lovely boy Mahmoud from Beirut. He had the most piercing blue eyes and was generally a really nice – but a bit str8.
The trip from Bahrain to London had the little screens and games and films so that was alright. Shame I had managed to buy more in Bahrain Duty Free!

So I had better go and do some washing and buy some food and act generally depressed :o(

dinner with andy and andrew

dinner with andy and andrew was fab and now I’m off to catch some zeds. jack is not well however :o( not sure if it is him sulking because he is home and not on holiday anymore or something more serious :o(
jacs‘ nan died last night too :o(

how many would it take?

how many would it take? an interesting twist on the old aihon idea! dave at work blogged this but refuses to let me link to his blog so he has changed the url from the one i linked to earlier this week!

did I mention ben browder

did I mention ben browder is horny as hell? I seem to remember that vaguely. I was upset to learn he is not actually australian and therefore i was unlikely to bump into him at the mardi gras party even though farscape is filmed down under. Still I managed to have a good time 😉

I was very very sad

I was very very sad to be leaving Sydney but now I have arrived back in Singapore I am feeling happy that at least I am not back in cold rainy London just yet :o) postponed that trip until Saturday morning!
