For some reason, I'm shattered today. My eyes will hardly stay open, my head's full of cotton wool and if I laid down I'd be asleep within 5 minutes. That's after a pint of Starbucks and a blueberry muffin, too.

A brief canter thrugh the past couple of days:

Monday I discovered that Cheshire Oaks takes about the same time to get to as does the city centre, that [livejournal.com profile] munchkinott is just as good (bad?) at puns in RL as she is online (and has Good Hair, which I covet, for mine is being hypersensitive atm) and that neither of the toy shops stock much (if any) Technical Lego. Poo. I forgot to go back for the pack of Bottom Trumps cards, too...

Yesterday I went out to see a client :) Not bad, didn't have The Fear (a Good Thing), saw a Cayman on the way (absolutely stunning, like a crouched panther, complete with haunches) and had one of the rare "oh yes - there *are* some good things about Manchester" moments walking to the office froom the G-Mex car park. It's great when a DB9 stops early to let you across the road, and the 575M in front inches forward a bit to give you & your heavy bags more space to cross :) The only problem was remembering to cross and not stand in the middle of the road, gawping. Well, that and fighting the urge to lick them ;)

My car is definitely still up for sale; *reasonable* offers welcome. Urgency has reduced, since Py's Alfa has had a reprieve, but that just means I'm looking out for one with a hard top instead. To put this into perspectinve, the only achievable car I've wanted since I first saw one, that still makes my toes curl and for which I'll tolerate extortionate repair bills, is the TVR Griffith. An Alfa Spider with a hard top is a pretty close second.

Now to pretend to work and try not to snore :)

Yes... How did you guess?

Nothing quite like going round a toyshop & walking out with a big box, though :)

I think they stock those things in Lords in Brighouse, along with all the Hornby and Scalextric things. If you want to go check next time you visit... ;)

There are clearly more rich people in Manchester than in Cambridge. I rarely see a decent car. Boxters, MGs and Lotus Elises seem to be the limit around here. :o(

Do you want me to repost your car ad?

Ooh, yes please! It's an open LJ post, so either link or c&p the details, and remember the price is up for haggling :)

I do not have Good Hair! It needs attacking with industrial hedge trimmers! O.O

It's thick, and straight, and smooth, and shiny. Mine isn't, and isn't, and isn't, and isn't. Hence the envy :p

It's thick

Yep, I'll agree with you there. If it gets below my shoulders it weighs a bloody TON! Head!owwies!

and straight

That's because it's so heavy it'd straighten a perm out in 20 mins.

and smooth, and shiny.

That's only cuz I was polite n' washed it before I went out! O.o Usually it gets washed, dried and scrunched up with a massive croc clip until such time as it needs washing again. And when it don't fit the croc clip no matter how many times I wrap it around my hand - it gets cut. Me n' hair styling/fiddling don't get along. At all. Ever.
