My students.

Today I decided that it's Freddie Mercury day in the studio, so messaged all the students to tell them to wear moustaches. They're all up for it and dead excited! I love them!

A supplier who I barely know emailed me back and actually used 'lol'

Made me laugh as we're not really on that wavelength yet so it was out of the blue!

Christmas (or "fairy") lights... we put ours up on Sunday, lit up the whole garden (not in a garish "cover the house in every colour conceivable" way, just a few white lights in the trees/shrubs and so on. We're hiring a hot tub for the Christmas period, so we wanted the garden to look nice. We've also put the tree outside this year), and we put some up in the house. Then we dimmed the main lights, lit some candles and felt all Christmassy

I love fairy lights! I keep some up in my room around my bed and dressing table all year around and my venue is full of them!

Not sure how rational this is and a tiny bit eeewey so will use spoiler tags for anyone very squeamish.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

When you have a cold and wake up in the morning with a blocked nose and literally fill a tissue with one blow from one nostril. Only beaten by the feeling of satisfaction (and ability to breath) when you repeat the process with a new tissue and the 2nd nostril.

End Spoiler Alert!

Choosing my Grandsons first mountain bike, He's five & a half.

I went to Halfords as I am buying it up here so she'll be able to take it back to her local Halfords for first service & repairs if needed.
I got him an Ally framed 20inch wheel with adjustable front & adjustable rear suspension & 7 gears on a twist grip, Was reduced from 240 quid to 170 quid.

It's this one if anybodys interested, Hope it's a decent one & will last him.

I sent an enquiry to Harrods via their website, and where I had to put in my title (as in Miss) the list of options that comes up for me to select one made me laugh

Sir, Vicount, Vicountess, Honourable, the Right honourable, Wing commander, professor, Sheik, madam, madamoiselle, major, monsieur, prince, lieutenant commander, his royal highness, count, judge, countess, dame, doctor and then you get to Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, before there are even more posh ones.

Never seen that before.

Karma.

The management company of my old flat has been in touch to ask for my side of the story of the ceiling collapse.

She's trying to sue them for ripping the ceiling down without her instruction.

It wasn't safe and they did it for H&S reasons - but it wasn't my decision obviously as I was just the tenant.

Daft bint. Had she taken 2 days off like yours truly did, to be with the builders and discuss the work with them rather than doing it remotely, things may have been different. They rang their management company and gave them their report and were instructed to come back the next day to rip the ceiling down!

Ah well, I've given the truth and my side of the story. But the misery she put me through I was quite happy to oblige.

She's lost over £2400 in rent since I moved out.... idiot.

However it all worked out rather well for me!
