For the past month I have been avoiding all ironing duties resulting in the largest ironing mountain in south Reading. To say I’ve been procrastinating to an industrial scale would bean understatement. Anyway today I shall tackle it or throw it all in the bin and go out to buy a new wardrobe.
So while I was on a break from the fabulous trailer trailer at Electric Picnic this year I ran into this guy and his friends took a photo. Today one of my friends shared it in our WhatsApp group as it turns out he’s a friend of her daughters. Totes hillare. Such a small world (which is why I left Ireland in the first place 🤣🤣)
They may be known for selling them but Amazon were more of a closed book with tight lips this week after a data centre issue in Virginia took the internet down. Even I was blocked from posting to my beloved blog (gasp). Between alphabet Amazon and Microsoft the whole internet is tied up. Most people don’t fully understand how catastrophic it would be if they were all to go down. banking, utilities, hospitals would all go offline and I wouldn’t be able to upload pics to my site. Total disaster basically.
I absolutely love what they’ve done with the place. Really opened it up!
So I’ve been flying with BA for years, and recently managed to get myself up to the second highest tier in their executive club. Not that I ever saw much benefit apart from free lounge access, additional baggage and queue skips at check in. Anyway I was flying back from San Francisco recently and managed to get upgraded to first class for the first time. What an experience. The suite was so comfortable and the service off the charts. The only issue is once you’ve tried silk you don’t ever want to go back to cotton.
Sitting in the office looking out at a really shitty day. Both heaters full on. It’s obvious that we are going to have a beautiful harsh winter. Time to crack out that ski gear 🤣
Haven’t been too active on here for some time. New phone, lots of social stuff and just plain laziness to blame I guess. Anyway I was working on my pages for the Nepal trip earlier in the year and it’s got my juices flowing again.
Went out in London last weekend with Heather. OMG did we hit it hard. Took half a week to get over it. We hit the bars in Soho. I’d genuinely forgotten how much fun it is to go out in London at the weekend. Kind of rekindled by going up the week before to meet Mike and the American crew (Steve, Odin, and Helen) who I met while in Lisbon with Gillian and Caroline. We had two nights of karaoke in King’s Cross. I totally killed it on the second night (as in murdered every song I sang. Total disaster 😂).
Anyway back to myself and Heather last weekend. Met some great people. Did some crazy dancing. And got home at 4am. Not too shabby for a pair of oldies 😜
