· I found another ‘free’ toilet in the city that’s really good quality. I shall add it to my list of places that I find posh enough to wee in.
· I am genuinely baffled regarding H&M’s trouser sizing policy. I saw some really nice pants there, and I tried them on. They fit (fitted? Fat?) really well on the waist, hips, etc. but they were trailing on the floor. Maybe people in H&M land are really, really tall. Genetically altered, even. So, if I do decide to go and buy them, I’m going to have to have them altered. Either that, or I can just hack away at them with nail scissors. Whatever’s easiest. Hong Kong has really cheap tailors. I wish I was there.
· I got accosted in the street by a very nice man wanting to know if I would like to do some market research. I hesitated, and then I thought “What the hell, it’s started to rain, and all I have to do is sit in front of a computer and answer questions.” So I did just that, and was taken into a nearby pub, given a hot drink of tea and asked to answer some questions on a laptop. The funny thing was that I was picked to answer questions about alcohol, and I’ve given up alcohol for Lent, so it was interesting. Thankfully you had to take into account the previous 12 months, so I just gave answers based on my previous, alcoholic self.
· I bought my first Easter eggs today, but that’s only because they were the delicious Cadbury’s Crème Eggs and they were by the cash register, and they were cheap, and yes, I’m using Easter as a legitimate excuse to buy chocolate. I am *so* going to hell.
· I really needed some new shoes, so I decided to get some ballet flats, because they are comfortable, look good, and don’t make me look 30000000 feet tall. And I was in the shop, musing between the red pair and the silver pair. So guess what I did???
Shopping really does fill the void of despair and joblessness.

Hey Avs,
Was quite exciting to return to your website after a week or two or infidelity, and find that you had updated it with not one, but three posts. Yay. I never remember the web address though, and I always try to avoid using the word striptease in my google search. Typing emotional and frizzle is surprisingly effective - you're the third entry on that one.
I'm learning Catalan now. Beat that.
Portia
so is it me, or didn't you just buy red sparkly pumps when you were with me in London...? hmmm?? well, you can't have enough red sparkly pumps... i suppose! heee! very nice, and esp like the silver ones. Portia, you should put this on your favourites list like me! though not too useful if not using your own comuter i guess... ah, i see. and yeh... fit, fitted, i totally think it should be fat! yeh, thay fat me perfectly!
Oh Avs. Ms Grenada sent this to me while i was at WORK (still am, but you know), and i had to STOP reading it because i was snorting trying not to laugh out loud, and then i started CRYING. And couldn't stop. So i had to close the page. Then i opened it again. And snorted, got a stare from my psycho boss, and ran to the pantry to breathe.
Get published. Seriously.
I hate these machine things, though.
I want my name to be The Anti-Lawyer. Ooh, maybe that's how.
FYI, Honkers is miserable right now, and Mandy Petty often talks about you :)
