Let the jibber jabber take your stresses away!
p.s has anyone got one of these they fancy giving me? I think it'd look great on my desk in work! and I can shake it in the faces of clients who annoy me!

harry potter and the half a story line...
I took my youngest to the cinema last night to watch Harry Potter 19 (the half-hearted storyline)... hmmmmmmmmm... It was one of those films when the trailer was more interesting than the film. Why did it seem such a good idea to have an entire film revolving around the love lives of 27yr old (not far off anyway) school kids? followed with gandalf faling from a tower???
Anyway, the trailer for G.I. Joe looked ok, and I wierdly fancy watching G-Force too,

surely...
the 'fruit' in fruitcake counteracts the 'cake' in the fruitcake?

this week...
...I have been mainly aching.
In an effort to get in better shape this week I have been doing various bits of exercise. Monday evening I went kickboxing! (yep propper exercise) and I soon realised how out of shape I was. But will be back there again on Monday as It's quite fun punching stuff. Tuesday I ached all day long, barely able to drive to work (well actually the driving was ok, it was the holding on to the wheel I struggled with). Wednesday I played tennis! (much better than the previous week where it wasn't 'tennis' i played but more a game of 'swing the bat in the air'). Last night I went and did some weights at the gym! and even had a trot along on the running machine!
So today I am mildly aching again, sitting at my desk having just eaten a banana (yes fruit!). This evening I am going to boxercise too! cool fun! soon I shall be superfit!

I like this quote...
The harder you hit the ground, the higher you bounce back up again.
(Dont know the source, but it is basic trampoline physics I guess)

a poem...
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
ee cummings
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;
only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

that it's Monday when you drive to work and think 'Maybe the office has burned down?'...
oh well... it hasn't...

um.... oops....
should my lettuce look like this? hmmmmm... probably not...
you can always tell that there's something wrong with lettuce when even the rabbit isn't fussed by it...
also... can anyone spot the one carrot I have left? (evil slugs at them all!)

was it all a dream?....
You know when you have days when you look back and wonder if it really happened at all? well today is certainly one of those days for me.
I think I have returned from a two day conference in Hereford where yesterday I think realy did happen, but looking back on today I am not sure if it has happened yet... did Jon sing 'you sexy thing' in front of a chanting crowd?... why are some conversations a blur? what was said? hmmmm... my head is very confused... answers on a postcard please...
