Thursday's tittle-tattle

I sometimes tend to ignore this blog for my GJ for a couple of reasons; I much prefer the threaded commenting system on GJ and I can lock entries that I do not want everyone to see. Ultimately the net is public domain and you never really know who is reading what you write.

I have finally recovered although not 100% since I am still blowing out large amounts of snot every hour! But I've finished my course of antibiotics now and I'm fine. However I missed a weekend of going out and am having terrible withdrawal symptoms, so I am eagerly awaiting tomorrow.

I've rebonded with my best friend from school (we've known each other for almost 20 years!) and I'm having a great time at the weekends, going out in the evenings and trapsing the shops on a Saturday. It's ideal :) And I'm enjoying Paceville again! So tomorrow it's off to Coconut who have drinks at 20c for 20 minutes at specific times. Can you imagine the chaos?! *lol* And on Saturday there is a Topshop party with discounts, free wine and free makeovers - a proper girly thing! And then it's work in the evening (yes I am still working a lot but I'll soon cut down on hours because we have a new staff member) and out again... aaah the weekend!

And tomorrow week I will be on a plane to Germany!!! *excited*

Another reason why I sometimes don't write here is the looming presence of overbearness that resides in the Maltese blogosphere. Blogs somehow need to affect society, hold opinions (the more controversial the better) or have words that you need to look up in the dictionary to see what they mean. But that's all bollocks because these blogs are read by anally-retentive arseholes who think that people actually care about their opinions. Keep banging your head against the wall, that might be more productive. I prefer reading about people's outings, families, drunken episodes, latest purchases, holidays, than the half-baked political opinions that litter the 'sphere.

So I declare the blogosphere a place of frivolity and fun and no shame to it!

Winter time

Winter has caught up with me and it seems like I am getting sick, however I am going to try not to allow that to happen! I woke up with a swollen tonsil this morning, yes, just one!, and my nose is blocked, plus I'm never qutie sure if I'm feeling hot or cold! I'm taking lozenges because I wanted to start with something mild, but I'll see how I wake up tomorrow and in case buy some stronger stuff.

Germany is looming closer and I am so eager to go now. Not just to see Matt and Sascha, but also to get out of here for a week; to break from routine; to shop till I drop and to see a country that I haven't visited before. A perfect break before Christmas.

I'm in the processing of getting my motorbike license, well in the process meaning that I have printed out the application form! Now I need to go the doctor to have him sign the medical certificate and then I can start lessons. Apparently it doesn't take as long as learning how to drive a car so that's good because lessons have become expensive! I really want to get a Vespa but this morning I got a shock when I called the local agents to ask the price - Lm1750!! *ouch* So unless I win the Super 5 that's on hold, but I'll be looking at the Piaggios instead. Or waiting until they lower the importation tax :)

Presents

In case anyone out there is feeling really really generous, and wants to buy me a Christmas present, or birthday present, or any-old-day present... here's a Wish List :)

Xmas Wish List

Pitching a tent

I'm working approximately 15 hours a day four days a week! And then something in the weekends. But I call it watching TV and chatting on the net rather than working... I love these jobs hehe.

I bought two memory cards for my camera, mainly for when I go to Germany which shoule be great cos Matt has really organised everything for me. Can't wait :)

This afternoon I'm going camping for a night. It's mainly just an excuse to drink lots of vodka and pig out on junk food.

Will be back with photos ;)
