Catching up

mattpIt's been a very busy past fortnight. I finally had time to catch up some time around Wednesday. There were 520 entries to read.
Last Thursday and Friday I was working in West Sussex. It wasn't an excellent job, but the hotel was FANTASTIC, particularly the food. I asked work to put me back there soon :-) I would've been back in London by 6pm (having left Eastbourne at 4-something) if it weren't for an accident and a section of the M25 being closed. I was listening to the radio so got to hear about this, but not until too late when I was in the affected area. I eventually took a detour on the M23, only for the same thing to happen. By the end of it all I arrived in Ealing at 10pm. 6 hours. That takes the fucking piss. Waited until midnight before leaving to allow the traffic do die, and brought![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ruth_sedina back to Manchester. Got home in the wee hours, around 3 something.
Saturday was the party.
Some stuffs I got for my birthday were: a model aeroplane, money for flying lessons and two DVDs (Falling From The Sky and Pushing Tin.
It was fab havingruth_sendina over for a few days and be able to catch up at length, rather than the flying visits I'd made in recent weeks when working in London.
TUesday (I think), I had a curry, having not had one for far too long and watched Falling From The Sky with Dave. It's a fantastic film. It's about one of the early 767 flights which was underfuelled, ran out, and yet still was landed successfuly.
Wednesday I was working in Oxford and went home via my Aunt and Uncle's house as I'd not seen them for a bit, and was fed. Such a shame that my uncle has had to give up flying, but there's not really a lot that can be done about a detached retina.
Thursday was supposed to be in Stirling which would've been a mamoth journey but thankfully it was cancelled. I don't mind the odd long distance journey but I've not been sleeping well this week (for some reason) so it was good to be in the office for a day.
WTF do shops put mayo in all of their sandwhiches? I had to walk out of 3 shops yesterday for that reason. Even the one labelled "Simply cheese and tomato" which upon closer inspection contained the devil's ejaculate.
Last night I went out for a meal for Russell's birthday in Chinatown. Simon was there; he, Russell and I all lived together in hall at uni. Such a shame that the warden from that era has left. He'd been there fore 33 years and was a HUGE asset to the place.
