Just in case you were thinking of buying flowers don't use Serenata Flowers. Full explaination over at Curtis' site. I would explain but I'm tired and can't be frickin bothered. Yes - I am that lazy. All you need to know is it's about fighting the spammers.

Well I am (barely) back into the life of UK living. I've started a new job which is using the most hair-pullingly stupid software I've ever come across. Seriously, why do companies use such pissy software when they know there's better stuff available? Especially since they recently made LOTR and certainly can't complain about a lack of money. Grrr. Some new and old faces on this job, and it all seems to be going well in that respect at any rate. I have managed to spend the whole week under the cloud of a tension headache though. Fun. No doubt the travelling and distinct lack of rest before wading into the new job is to blame. As a result I was in bed most evenings by 9.30pm and as a result have still not finished unpacking. Which means know I probably never will! God I hope I'm joking.
So, not much interesting to report of this week. The Cheesy and I are ploughing foolishly forward with this nonsense idea of trying to buy somewhere and convince mortgage lending folk that we're a good idea to give £180,000 to. Which, frankly, we are. We even have credit cards and everything now. Fingers crossed it won't go tits up like last time.
Am meeting the lovely Tall Boy, Yappety Dog and Huggy Boobs for lunch today - and handing out some birthday present to the former and the latter. Will be nice to mingle with the gang again as it has been a good 3 months since I saw/spoke to them properly. Here's hoping the hideous thunder cloud creeping over London has got bored and moved on by then. Man I'm finding it difficult to construct an intelligent sentence today.

So of course just as I’m getting attached to a place I have to leave.
Yes – I am flying out of here in mere hours, getting into London later tonight. God willing (as the Moroccan’s say. In Arabic obviously). Or at least man-made-technology willing. Uck. Hate flying.
More to come on japes and jeeps in Morocco.

Pains which turn out to be Blessings which turn out to be Pains
Our UPM frantically came into the office today asking for a favour. He needed to move me from my hotel. Now. Some nightmare took place (of which details I'm not sure of as yet) and poor production were having a hotel nightmare. Packing up my room within a space of an hour is not my idea of fun. Good side of it was I was moving to The Sofitel, a much nicer (and expensive) hotel. Deep down given the choice I would still rather avoid the pain in the arse of packing all my crap, but at least I was moving somewhere rather nice.
Turns out very nice. In that I'm in a sodding Suite. In this place. Which as you can imagine is pretty amazing. I have my own living room! And 3 wardrobes. I give it three days before they boot me out, frankly. Since the room is probably 6 times as expensive as the other one. Timing wise it is lovely as the Cheesm arrives today - lucky thing, he has good timing.
Of course, every silver lining has it's thunder storm. Mine was a complete inability to sleep in the new bed. Combination probably of the newness of it, the fact it was harder than my previous bed, and only what I can describe as sprung pillows. Yep, a pillow with a spring in it - or something weird at any rate. Making the pillows massive, unyeilding and completely uncomfortable. I was wide awake until 3am when I finally relented and called Housekeeping to get a frickin normal pillow. I feel like such an idiot doing stuff like that, but I wasn't sleeping. They happily provided just what I wanted, but I was all worked up by this point and paranoid there was a mosquito biting at me so it took me a while to doze off. Turns out I wasn't paranoid. I now have two bites on each arm and one on my frickin eyelid. Which I MUST NOT ITCH!!
So, am extremely tired and itchy. Thankfully I have the wonderful distraction of the imminent Cheesy arrival. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
