365 Pink Feather Boas All in a Row - Day 154 (Friday 4 June 2010) : I'm Here! I'm Not!

What a day!

Into work for a 7.30 start despite feeling like death warmed up. I would've stayed snug in bed on a rainy cold day except for the fact that mu Blackberry was filling up with an endless stream of demanding emails, all marching ever forward like the sentient driven mops in Disney's Fanstasia. Being a pragmatic boy at times - yes it happens occasionally! - I didn't try to stop them like Mickey Mouse but went to work to just go with the flow, get all the work done (yep I am done with the analogy now) and then go home, which I did at 10.30.

Miraculously, and I thank Saint Kristina of Kenneally for this (I don't thank her for much!), I got home in an hour on pucblic transport, made lunch, rugged up and watched Ellen and The View before napping all afternoon. So good to stop again and just sleep.

I would have stayed bunkered down at night too but I had organised dinner for a friend's birthday at a neighbourhood restaurant, and given he's a close friend, I couldn't not go. Plus I had the present (a 1950s green - Fahmi's fave colour - jug and glass set, which he loved.....see pix above), and my public - friends Stephen, John, John & Essie, Adrian and my gorgeous guy were expecting me...how could I disappoint?Thankfully it wasn't terribly arduous - lots of sitting in the Union pub or the restaurant, 3 Olives - and the company and food were very good, as was the service at the restaurant which was crowded but delightful.

Happy Birthday Fahmi!
