New things of various sorts
Lots of new things, the last week or so:
I have acquired both a lovely & VERY VERY TINY blue! iPod shuffle. It is, seriously, unbelievably small. I love it very very much indeed. I also finally cracked & got myself a Treo 680 after a) my flute got sold (so have cash) & b) the 600 turned itself off of its own accord 3 times in a row. Which is irritating (& previous experience indicates that this means it will put its little feet in the air altogether Real Soon Now). 680 is v shiny but battery life seems a little dodgy & there are a couple of other niggles that I am in the process of sorting out.
On Saturday the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uon & I went to Neal's Yard to learn to do back massages. Which was v much fun indeed, and I strongly recommend the class (their one-day intro to massage one). We also got to make our own aromatherapy oil blends, which was fun. It is hard not to have a nice day, really, when one spends it alternating between rubbing someone, and being rubbed, with nice smelly oil. And there were almonds to eat, which I liked. I may have to revise my "not liking nuts" thing.
After that we stopped off at CCK for tea, coffee, & chocolate cake. And I tried doop's coffee (after being told that it was coffee that people who don't like coffee quite often like) & I liked it. Rather to my surprise. So I drank some more of it, & discovered that my caffeine tolerance is approx 0. doop &clockworkwasp laughed at me bouncing off the ceiling, but I did not mind due to being, er, quite bouncy.
Then off to the earth birthday dinner, which was as ever most enjoyable, & lovely to see various people. Also I drank too much red wine, but usefully did not end up hungover, god knows why.
Spent Sunday firstly having long lie-in, then pottering during the afternoon whiledogrando & marnameow went to the wilds of Colindale to forage, then having pizza & beer with Bermondseypeople. Finishing the "new tasty things" hattrick: nou had pink wine, and it was nice. I am most confused by all this; my tastebuds have obviously done something peculiar.
I think that is all. Work is being an arse (rack problems, install problems, blah blah) but hey, tomorrow is Friday so it can't be that bad.
