...not that the past two weeks have been anything but incredibly real.
there's a danger when i only post so often that the fun little details of day to day life get missed out on, so for this i apologise. now that i'm back in the vicinity of an internet connection i promise to post more regularly.
also, my BT line was *finally* installed yesterday with much excitement, which also means that i should have broadband hooked up at home within a couple of weeks so i'll be back on msn and hotmail!
new year's eve was a quiet one. davoud and i stayed in at my flat, made really good food, had some cheesecake, popped the champagne (cam-pag-neee) and then proceeded to watch a group of my neighbours huddle in the street singing auld lang syne. heartwarming i assure you.
chris came by for a visit on new year's day, but i have to admit i was feeling pretty, pretty tired so he didn't stay long and we ended up watching a film and getting into bed fairly early to try and reprogramme the body clocks. yesterday we ventured into wales to visit conwy and find the fairy glen (with great success!). on the way back we stopped in at the boathouse pub in parkgate, which has always been a favourite of mine, but even more so now that they've refurbished the place and added much needed backgammon boards. it overlooks the river dee and the welsh hills...i do love that spot.
...back to work.

NYE was great; we watched a digital screening of Manhattan at FACT and then headed home for a very tasty dinner of champagne risotto with scallops in a garlic and herb butter.
We managed to open the bottle of Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque we had bought for midnight on time, in spite of the fact that Lauren's apartment has no clock (no Chris, my watch does not count), thanks to the noise of the house party upstairs. It was great to see lots of people from the neighbourhood come together in the street for a couple of verses of Auld Lang Syne. Who said community cohesion is dead?
The Boathouse Pub, a treat for NYD, is one of the nicest pubs I've spent time in; a perfect afternoon with Lauren post-Wales enjoying Scotch and Backgammon. Nick would love this place.
My body clock is slowly getting back to "work time", which is no fun at all. Can't wait till Friday...
