Saturday

Slept badly and had a terrible nightmare about alien invasion and world destruction - possibly because I watched a film about... alien invasion and world destruction ( Battlefield:Los Angales - shite ) and then remembered I'd forgotten to eat my dinner - an M&S Indian banquet for 2 - I'd put it in the microwave to heat up and been distracted by something and totally forgotten about food until 11.30pm, possibly should have just had toast instead.

Talking microwave - I really should get out of the habit of putting large, heavy objects up in the loft and then deciding to bring them back down again - this includes stainless steel catering size microwaves.

Loads to do today - starting with a chunk of copywriting I need to finish by lunch time - and I'd like to have a bonfire in the garden and get rid of more crap ( right day for it - it's bonfire night here  ). I'm out later at the procession and a 40th Birthday party. House needs a clean and I have masses of paperwork and preperation to do - I also have a very lage vegetable marrow a neighbour gave me that needs.... attending to.

One of my mates told me that he's had a conversation with someone I know and am facebook friends with - who described me as 'having a bit of a reputation' - I'm really perturbed by this. I like  a banter and take the piss a bit - but it's all made up, I don't have a drink problem ( I once made the comment that I'd run out of wine and was raiding the cupboard under the sink for meths ) and I've never actually worn a gimp mask in my life - it was a joke, honest!!

Picked up some nice work and will be doing branding and design for a high end specialist cycle chain - quite pleased about that. My year 2 students are working on designs for the Royal Mail and I picked up a stack of perforating wheels for £2 each yesterday - result! The woman thought I was a bit weird, buying up their complete stock and getting quite excited about it.

It's starting to feel 'proper' cold now  I quite like - as long as it stays dry.
