1. Where have I put my Cadbury's Creme Eggs? I want one now!
2. Is it just me, or does my bedder's reasoning make no sense whatsoever? Apparently, having a couple of small dents and chipped bits on the edge of the worksurface in our kitchen is Bad and Unhygienic because Germs can collect in them, yet she has no reservations about a) going to the loo and not washing her hands and b) using the same cloth to clean out my sink (including the plughole bit) and clean my drinking-cup which I keep next to the sink. Am I being weird or is this an utterly illogical policy?
3. Isn't my supervisor great? (I mean, he's not a great supervisor - sorry Dr T, but it's true - but he's really amusing). Latests quotes from a recent e-mail:
"Meanwhile, I give two example classes"
"If time is not suitable for the most of you I could shift them to later times, e.g. 18-19 and 19-20"
This, in case you aren't aware, is the lecturer who is famous in our year for spelling 'worms' as 'wirms' and 'cattle' with a 'k' at the beginning. Oh, I love him :)
4. Isn't it high time I invented another bizarre contraption for adding more mini-posters to my wall without the use of Forbidden Blu-Tac? I thought so. I'm going to buy a long wooden stick (maybe 24" long...)
5. What is it about sunny days that make people spend more money?
6. Does anyone want to give me £45? There's a very thick velvet cape at Cambridge market and we wants it, yes! We wants it, Preciousssssss! It comes to between mid-calf and ankle on me, so is really too short for normal-height people, and if I didn't feel so guilty about parting with more cash, I'd buy it!
EDIT: answer to 1. is "In a random bag under my bed where it no doubt got shoved in the process of 'unpacking'."
