Cardioplegic Education
Another first bit not related to the main body of the entry bit…
Boo:
I had two arrythmias today for the first time in a year.

Kitten, you're currently eyeballing the Enigmas category.
Root of all
Currently sat watching some nonsense (thing about the making of Merlin that might make more sense if I actually watched Merlin). This after watching a baffling teenage programme called ‘The Cut’, that only served to make me really very pleased I’m not a teenager anymore. I am struggling to find enough distracting material on iPlayer*.

My spoon just fell in my ice cream
Completely unrelated to the rest of this entry. I have decided that when by some miracle I am rich enough to live next door to the goddess Nigella (and I have somehow contrived to make Keeley Hawes my bestest friend) I would like Jonathan Meades to be my other neighbour.

We fly instinctively
Mr Fish’s blog about what things we might revisit to confirm their awfulness reminded me of a reoccuring dream/daydream that I have about being at secondary school again. I think that it must be a pretty common dream, given the amount of Hollywood films based on the premise of somehow getting to relive your teens:

I’ve pedalled round this island more than once or twice
It turns out I’m more circumspect than I thought. I am, it seems, more subtle than I had accounted for, which may explain several things in my life thus far, but does mean I have surprised someone this week. And it’s only Monday-wahay what can the rest of the week bring?!

Look at us lately and tell them who’s your lady
I’m not a foreigner to whinging and whining (you might have noticed), especially about the inconveniences of my location. Though where I live is not as small as say Mr Fish it’s lots smaller than where others amongst my regular readers live/work; its also about 3% of the population of my previous home.* My whinges are generally divided into three groups:

Scatman’s braaaain food.
Those of an easily squelchy stomach might want to either hop off now, or at least not continue reading if you have recently eaten or are about to. Those who would sign up to B’s disgust you into thin-ness plan read on…

I’ll shake my peaches and cream
Finally I have a legitimate reason for the tartan skirt and long white socks*, I’m off to school once again. Well college. Actual school would be a bit odd. I had few cultural references in common with people who actually were my age.
So anyways off to be educated once more, I had my second interview today and providing I can find all my GCSE certificates* I will be starting in September. Awooga.

They fill you with the faults they had.
I’m currently looking for a shoe rack to sit in the kitchen (to prevent further instances of gifts in shoes), and have been browsing the Ah-Goose* website and looking at the reviews. On one shoe rack two separate women suggest that it was tricky because they were women: “Not easy for a female who thought it only required a screwdriver” said one, and “from a female point of view, it seemed a bit too much for me to tackle” was the other’s review.
Why is being female relevant to assuming that you need only one screwdriver? Surely, that is more naive faith in the quality of Argos’s workmanship and a lacking tool kit. And why is it inherently trickier from a “female point of view”? Are you attempting to hold the screwdriver with your vagina?
