A very good day.

Two major things today, aside from the sun which is still shining over London.

First of:  I’ve got a job! On Monday I start in the interactive team at British Gas, as Programme Office Manager — woo-hoo!  My first couple of days will be from home, and then I’ll have to start the daily commute to the Staines massive, aaaai.  So, this is back to permanent employment for me, and very soon I’m going to have to deal with administrative the shebang of wrapping up the limited company.  After four intense months of job searching, I can say I am incredibly pleased to have secured a role in a new team, and I look forward to tackling  the job.

Now for personal projects:  sewing project number one, now officially called “the summer skirt”, is done!  Below, a picture of my masterpiece.  Next, I am considering a pair of cool print cotton pyjamas, seeing as I am now haunting floor 4 of John Lewis, a paradise of buttons and trims…  Oh dear.

the skirt!

the skirt!

Not much of a performance on my daily run today, with my time beaten by 1 minute on the Millenium-Bridge-and-back loop, but a series of stitches and the feeling of being as heavy as a truck.  Ugh.  Some training needed there!  But with my sweet man with me and the sun shining, it was still the right way to kick start what ended up being a mighty good day!

Accordions and sunny days.

I will start this post by dedicating the latest issue of the Garfield minus Garfield comic to Cyril, seeing as it is all about accordions.  Yay!  Thanks to Stephen and his Big Bad Blog for spotting the entry today.  And also, for making a note of a very puzzling Google recommendation.  If you want to know what it is, then search for the following terms: “be cautious when angering friends”…

Today was quite simply all mine for the taking, with no plans and no schedule whatsoever.  And as a good Londoner, I took advantage of it to enjoy, well, London.  Long walk along the Thames, visit to Top Shop (ya!), purchase of a few essential items (and one or two that are perhaps inessential), taking in the noise, the crowd, the sun, and all those lovely things a city has to offer.  I am definitely in a good mood, that’s for sure.

I also acquired a Tweet Deck and tried to figure out how to use it.  It’s rather neat.  And in my renewed blogging interests, which had me fiddling with Google Reader and the WordPress suggested links, I found a story which you may (or may not, depending on your personal oddity threshold) want to read:  the story of Fish, the fishtoad who liked noodles.

I leave you with a photo of myself taken on Sunday as we were waiting for the Piranha screening.  I kinda like it.

would the eighties be back?
