What would the community think?
Just a few hours til I get to see Cat Power. I am thrilled. I have been reading some reviews online (naughty me), and it confirms what I have heard. She is well known for being strange. Strange music, onstage antics including crying, calling friends, talking to babies, asking how long is left in the set, playing with her hair and apologizing non stop. I can’t wait! I will give you my own review tomorrow.
Work is going well. It is, as I worried, a little dull, but feels very much under control so I guess that is a good thing in contract work. The company is located in the city and I had my first proper morning tube ride today. It included having my face pushed into the groin of a perfect stranger. Life in England is looking interesting.
My house scenario is brilliant. I am living with two other girls. This is my first all girl household and I must admit it is wonderful. I am really getting into the evening girly chats. One housemate is Canadian and the other is from up North and is a cracker at impersonating English accents. She has me in tears laughing. We watch big brother and the footy and I get the English tabloid backgrounds on everyone.
I have also been getting into baking cakes, much to the pleasure of Katie’s household who got a sticky date drop-off on the weekend (this went down better than it sounds). I am thinking along the lines of an (X-treme) lemon semolina cake with cherries as my next cake-ish exploit.

Oi - I'm just up the road, and you were worried about the weight loss - solution - cake.
mate this is hell rad - lunch tomorrow? woo eee.
Congrats on getting back into it. May today's groin be just the start of many more to come!
xx
yar. I have found the solution to life's problems and it does indeed seem to have a sticky centre and go very well with a cup of tea.
Lunch is on. I have been bringing sandwiches due to my newly beggared status.
PS - if anyone thinks I am being quiet on the mobile - I had my wallet stolen last week and have been surviving on £10 and have no credit. Funnily enough I have just finished reading George Orwell’s Down and out in Paris and London, so, having picked up a few tips, I am not doing so badly. Unfortunately my attempts to pick-up cigarette ends and sell them have only met with odd looks and not the free flowing cash I had hoped, still, his entrepreneurial spirit lives on in me!
we'll get you some cash tomoz. I'll have a sambo also - we'll sit in the park, Yogi bear stylz.
tangles is back on the interweb, oh happy daze.
Guess what interweb!! My wallet was found, and the dude dropped a little note in at my house. I was a bit freaked cause I couldn't work out how he had the address. Just called him from work and it turns at that he is a ... dustman!! He found the wallet near/in one of the bins. He is going to drop it off tomorrow AM cause he does my street. How freaking sweet is he? What a lovely dustman! I think I am going to come over all Mary Poppins and fall in love with a chimminy sweep!
At the very least, offer him a cup of tea.
If that goes down well, then (speaking of going down well) you could offer to ram your face into his groin, having already had some valuable London experience along those lines.
p.s. what are the going rates for cake postage to Sweden??
