Moon Energy

Posted on by

The dust has settled after a week and I even heard an apology yesterday. It seems that whenever there is a full moon, things get heated at times. I do believe in the energy of the moon, the power of Chandra, the lunar effect, and normally I take some distance because I know things can get tricky, this time I forgot and only realised when it was already in progress and hurtful things were said and done. I try to be patient and sit out my time really, so I have been busy getting my life back, taking small steps.

I’ve set up my business bank account last Tuesday when I went over to my accountant to meet up with someone from the bank. All the papers are signed and filled in and all the questions are answered, it will be a matter of a few days before my account will be opened. I had to call MvdM. for some details while we were doing this and decided to go over to his place after my meeting. I had to give MvdM. his passport back and have him sign the last bit of paperwork. We ended up playing cards, a game called Bennies, which was fun although we still need to finish it…

I haven’t been feeling well this whole week and I guess it was caused by me being over-enthousiastic last weekend when I spent time with MvdM. and W. on Saturday. I was supposed to go there for a few hours so I brought chocolate cake and MvdM. provided coffee. I bought a nice orchid for W. because he has a new job [for Dior] at Harrods since a few weeks. And I ended up staying late… I was fine the next day, just really tired but of course I had to push my limits again since this girl only seems to learn the hard way constantly.

I went out that Sunday because I had to look for satin ribbon which I couldn’t find; I’ve been sewing a dress. I took my favourite dress apart and used it to make a new one. It’s a beautiful dark chocolate satin fabric and it’s almost finished, I only need a small hook and eye and some satin ribbon for the straps. So I had to go out and try to get these bits and pieces. But by the end of the day I was totally drained, ended up in bed at 17.00 and have been sleeping for six hours. I would like to finish the dress before next Thursday because I want to wear it that evening [More about that later this week].

I’m taking it slow still and haven’t done much this weekend, just relax a bit. I’m gonna try to get some rest so I’m off to bed now and leave you with a perfect gift of nature…

Meeting Of Minds

Posted on by

It’s been a bit quiet on here lately: I haven’t written anything since last Thursday when I found out about the recent infestation of Dutch caterpillars in London… I haven’t written much since then because I’m a bit busy getting ready for my visit to the Lowlands. There’s stuff that I need to buy or collect, there’s clothes to be washed, a suitcase waiting to be packed, DVDs to be burnt, lists to be made and thoughts to be considered…

Here’s where I left off:

Friday June 15: Received an email from Kris, I met him a few weeks ago, who invited me for a drink some day next week. Been on the phone with my aunt for about two hours and probably racked up the phone bill big time… Have been chatting with MvdM. for a while. Worked on my dress and sent out some emails that I forgot to reply to.

Saturday June 16: I’ve been to Lakeside and found myself some cool shoes for the wedding, exactly the right color and only for £6,- so I won’t feel guilty for chucking them out, after the wedding. I bought a gift for DvD. as well; an English football shirt, he will love it. In the evening I went over to MvdM., had dinner with him and W. and got totally pissed drinking a box of wine… *yes I’m bad!* I think me and MvdM. had just over a litre each [there’s 3 litres in a box]. I also got my first Dior item, a really beautiful top… It was a gift from W., he works for Dior, sweet isn’t it?!! I took a cab home at 03.30 in the morning; had a wonderful time.

Sunday June 17: Was a day of rest and hangovers, although it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be, it was fine actually… Does that mean I’m getting adjusted to English customs???? Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

Monday June 18: Called KB. and agreed to meet up on Tuesday. I’ve finally finished the dress which is a bit of a relief to be honest, didn’t think I would ever finish it… It’s ironed and waiting to be packed. Started another one, I took an old dress apart since it was already slowly starting to deteriorate. Turned it into patterns using newspapers [I couldn’t find tissue paper anywhere], placed it on the fabric and went to bed because it was almost 02.00 in the morning.

Tuesday June 19: Went into town to meet up with Kris at lunchtime, had a coffee at the Lounge bar [High Holborn] and lunch around the corner at Pret a Manger. Picked each other’s brain for quite a while: about an hour and a half. Had fun talking shop! I lend him my Actionscripting book. Back home at 16.00, cut the fabric and started to sew things together. Updated my CV and looked for typos, there were a few still so it’s good to put it aside for a while and have another look at it later [as I did].

Wednesday June 20: CH. called me in the morning to make sure about my flight number. They’ll be picking me up from the airport which is cool, it saves me a journey on the train to the other end of town. I’ll have to go to the storage unit to collect my bicycle and see if it’s still fine, might have flat tyres… We’ve been on the phone for nearly an hour. Again send off some emails I forgot about, I seem to be a bit scatterbrained lately. Received a phone call from my best friend IvS. who was a bit bored and wanted to talk to a friend. She was in Edinburgh on her own, children and husband at home [which is about two hours further down the road], and she had a very bad day so needed to vent. We ended up as usual, wetting our pants with laughter.

Thursday June 21: Burnt some DVDs with a variety of content for a variety of people, some I met recently, others I’ve known for years. Just a tiny contribution to spreading the vibe and hype. I will meet up with Amit after my visit to the Lowlands and receive the last bit of content that I still need… So a little bit of give and take, although I end up offering A. lunch and a drink instead… because I have nothing of his liking I believe, well I asked him but he never responded… Finished my CV; I changed some sentences and sent it off to a few people for proof reading. Worked on the dress for a bit.

So today is Friday: and I still have a large to-do-list [eg sending off snail mail, collecting stuff at the pharmacy, reply to emails, leave some comments on some blogs, pack my case, sort out the laundry etc. etc.] so if you will excuse me, I would like to have it all finished by the end of the day, so I’ll have a relaxed day tomorrow!

Oh and I also need to think and decide about taking my Powerbook or not thanks to Stu who sent me an email [that I still have to reply to] asking me:

“How will you survive with out your Power Book? I thought you eat, drink and sleep CPU (in your own words). You’re not going to go cold turkey during your trip are you?”

Yes I told him, I eat, drink and sleep CPU, which made me realise that I actually AM going cold turkey… the instant effect of that was that I have doubts now whether I should take it along or not and whether I should thank Stu for making me have doubts again, or…

I’m off to the pharmacy…

Later alligator!
