This weekend, I have managed to:

- Get Friday afternoon off work;
- Consequently, arrive in Cambridge both freshly-showered *and* before midnight;
- Very nearly have either all my hair cut off, or a smallish chunk dyed scarlet;
- Meet everyone I'd intended to meet at Strawberry Fair;
- Acquire a collar that makes "people scream when [I] hug them", gorgeous books, a beautiful picture, and an already broken in corset;
- drink beer in the sun next to the Cam as a naked man cycled past;
- be part of the Dark Side of the WI;
- drink hangover-free homebrewed wine & beechleaf liqueur;
- Meet the small cowprint cat and Fat Bessie;
- Take 10 things to the Cancer Research shop to make up for the above acquisitions; and
- Say "yes please" to a forthcoming interview, "Oh good" to hearing that I am, apparently, an Asda Person, and "Please could you also look for suitable jobs around Cambridge" to the recruitment agency.

To expand slightly, Strawberry Fair was lovely, the beer stopped me going postal at the inability of large groups of people to get anywhere, the description of the collar was one main reason for buying it (and I don't have a problem with it having a ring at the front, because the only way a lead will ever get attached is if I'm holding the end), and [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man and [livejournal.com profile] nekofairy666 were kind enough to use luggage space to bring back smut from Japan for me :)

And yes, I was serious about saying I'll consider jobs in Cambridge just as much as up here. I had a noticeable slump in happiness levels as I went past Birmingham on the way home.

I know lovey, and I would be thrilled for your escape plan working, wherever you go, just sad that it isn't as easy to see you. Which reminds me, and my crap calendar keeping, is it this weekend that we are doing something?

We never actually decided on a Plan for this weekend; I can come to Leeds if you fancy a day of wandering? With or without a Mup, since it's not a formal Girly Day Out!

Alas, I don't have Monday off, and am making a slightly more than zero effort to declutter, so actually visiting Hairy Git is a bit far.

I have to go to my brother's wedding. Woe. Are you still coming over for the FFW NEXT weekend? My sofa is all yours! I even have a choice of sleeping bags for you!

In theory, although I haven't booked a ticket yet.

I shall wibble if you don't come.

let us wander in Leeds! I haven't seen you in ages, and 'twould be fab. I will see whether the Mup wishes to brave the metropolis or not. Knowing what we are like about shoe shops, and clothes, he may not care to join us, although there is that tasty pub for lunch though...

Shall we say we'll meet around 11ish at Starbucks for our traditional caffeine infusion?

Done! Hurrah!

I have no plans or intentions, by the way. I am happy to mooch pointlessly (although will always enjoy considerations of caffeine & pvc jeans & New Rocks).

oooh, the dangerous no-plan plan! My only plan is to go to the fabric shop to see if they have the PERFECT fabric for my dress-for-brotherwedding. Otherwise, smoothies, tasty food, silly goth clothes and glee it is!
