Sunny Sunday

Today was the first beach day of 2008. Went down to Exiles at 1:00 p.m. because it was Alison's birthday. Had lunch at the bar and stayed chatting and then we all went onto the rocks to lounge in the sun :) It was very chilled and I enjoyed the feeling of being relaxed in the sun. I left at about 4:00 and went home, fell asleep (effect of the sun) and then Gabriel messaged to ask me to go over to his place.

So at about 6:00 I headed over there and just chilled on the net and watched various programmes on cable (which he only just installed!) We snacked on Pringles, cheese, ham, dried apricots and nuts. Then a friend of his came over with pizza and we just slumped on the sofa and watched Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo but I left before it finished.

All in all, it was a really relaxed and chilled Sunday :)

Random Saturday ramblings

I went to get my fringe cut this morning because I was starting to feel like Cousin It! Hairdressers really are a girl's best friend... mine told me, 'you're looking really good. Probably the best that I've ever seen you!'

Wow! That's a nice compliment especially after having rushed to dress and get ready so not exactly trying my hardest to make an effort.

After work yesterday evening I went to this birthday party at the Waterfront. It was quite fun, amusing really watching girls trying to hit on one guy. Granted the guy is cute and has a very nice body, but he's so easy it's off-putting. But it was a good show :) It was also good to get out a bit cos I haven't been out in quite a while.

Working this afternoon until close (therefore about 10:00 p.m.) but I won't go out afterwards. I've got another birthday do tomorrow at the beach in the afternoon. I hope it'll be sunny like it was this past week.

I need eye cream. Around my eyes is feeling all dry. Bad! I will go to The Body Shop during my break.

I sense that this afternoon is going to pass by rather slowly. I shall be reading a lot :)

Car crash

My car's rear end was penetrated yesterday by a Fiat Punto. Yep, they crashed into me. I can still drive around but my boot door is actually cracked! I didn't even know what happened upon impact because my glasses flew off my face and I thought 'What's happening? Why are my glasses in my hands?' and then the dreaded knowledge of someone has just crashed into me dwelled and it's a horrible feeling. I switched off the engine, put on the hazard lights and then got out of the car to face the idiot. I was lucky that it wasn't worse because with the impact he threw me into a main road and oncoming traffic who thankfully avoided me. Otherwise I would have been the ham in a metal sandwich.

First I was quite angry, then a bit hysterical, I called the wardens although he claimed that it was a bumper-to-bumper and all we needed to do was fill in the form. I didn't believe him because he was a man and I assumed that he was trying to get out of it. I called my father and he agreed that I should call the wardens, so I did. In the meantime two traffic policemen stopped and they said that I didn't need to call the wardens which made me even angrier cos all I saw were these men ganging up on me, in the meantime my father called again and I was telling him that I have these stupid people in front of me (and literally they were) telling me that I'm doing the wrong thing. One of the policemen then spoke to my father, in a less hysterical way than me (hehe) and assured him that in these cases when it literally is a bumper-to-bumper, one just needs to fill in the form regardless of the damage. So I accepted that. The traffic police were actually really nice and I'm glad that they happened to be passing. The wardens turned up too but they sent them on their merry way as it had been sorted. We filled out the forms and now I have to stay going to my insurance tomorrow. It's totally his fault though, he even told me that he was paying attention to a car next to him and was looking ahead... hmmm!

Plus I had Krista's Birthday Drinks yesterday evening at Ryan's which I had to go to, least of all because I had her present.
