The one in which i-just-hide makes her excuses...

In a 21st century twist on 'The dog ate my homework' - my phone ate my last two Livejournal posts!  I've now realised that it's probably not a good idea to try and update using the LJ mobile site.  I've downloaded an app now and will have a go with that when I've got a moment.

Life goes on for me.  I've been ridiculously busy over the past few weeks and I'm really glad that I've got a completely free weekend ahead of me.  Partly because it means I've finally got some time to track down a replacement smoke alarm (the current one has been beeping every 40 seconds for a month to tell me that it needs replacing) but mainly because I need a rest.

During the past couple of months I've done all this:

• Saw LB's band play
• Had the biggest meal ever at a curry house in Acton as part of someone's leaving do
• Saw 'Communicating Doors' at Richmond Theatre
• Went to a leaving do and our work summer party on the same night (in different places)
• Went to Wireless festival in Hyde Park
• Watched the recording of Alan Carr - Chatty Man at the London Studios
• Attended the Streatham Beer Festival where I not only drank but enjoyed real ale
• Danced to live African music in a church as part of the Streatham Festival
• Had another curry with work as part of an 'end of project' party
• Saw Basement Jaxx v Metropole Orkfest at The Barbican
• Met baby Finlay James for the first time
• Gave a talk at a conference at the University of Hertfordshire
• Gave a talk at a meeting in a Central Government department
• Went to Lovebox festival in Victoria Park
• Saw Alarms and Excursions at Richmond Theatre

Lots has been happening at work.  Projects have been ending, new ones have started, people have moved on to other teams and other organisations.  The number of people in our office has dropped from 30 to 10.  Yesterday there were only two of us for much of the day.  I'm missing my friends but still hoping that another team will move in to keep us company.

I can't believe it's nearly August already.  Where has the year gone?  My parents are already back from their big summer holiday (I think I only killed one plant through neglect in their absence).

And finally, I've decided to start writing a more public blog on blogger.  My LJ has always been mainly public but blocked from search engine spiders.  My new blog will be completely public and will focus on reviews rather than the rambling posts about my day to day life that I normally post here.  It's here: http://seemoredomore.blogspot.com/.  There's nothing much to see at the moment but I intend to start posting this weekend.

Testing

This is test.  Nothing to see here (well nothing interesting!)
