julietAm busy being unemployed for the week. Today this means sitting on the sofa reading the weekend's backlog of LJ, unpacking from the last 2 weekends away, & awaiting a phonecall from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitty_goth in order to sort out meeting up later (since he too is unemployed this week). Rest of the week already pretty much entirely booked:
Today: meet Ben for the afternoon, spend evening staying home & being lazy with Pete.
Weds: off to Oxford for the day with B, going out drinking with my best mate Richard.
Thurs: lazing on sofa with B, date withmarnameow in the evening.
Fri: cycling to Greenwich with P.
TOO BUSY. And I need to do gardening at the weekend; hopefully the weather will be tolerable.
Weekend in Cornwall was fun & mostly relaxing. Though being away from home 2 weekends running is a bit much really... I sat on the train back yesterday saying plaintively "I have a house, somewhere. I remember my house." Nice to meet the bits ofkitty_goth's family that I hadn't previously met. Got a bit sunburnt on Sunday, whoops, but it's not too horrendous.
On the subject of which: have concluded a deal with Kitty which goes like this: I will give up smoking entirely (rather than just mostly, as to date), & he will start using sunscreen on a regular basis. Since neither of us fancy visiting the other in a cancer ward in later life. Anyone suggest decent sunscreen for someone who hates the stuff? I've said he could try the spray-on stuff as it feels a bit less gloopy/sticky.
In other news: Luthien-rat has a lump :-( She is currently at the vet having it removed, so thumbs crossed that she pulls through OK. We're to call back around 1500. Meep.
