A definite case of Friday Afternoon Apathy is spreading across the office at the moment. I know I can't be bothered with any proper work. The weather doesn't help of course - a mix of rain and fog casting a cloud over the area.

No wardrobes still so not sure what my plans are for the weekend now. Nothing else to say today, just thought I ought to enter something!

Tuesday had its ups and downs. The down was definitely the dentist. Well, hygenist for the first treatment proper on the sequence mentioned previously. The scraping and whatever was OK, but I seem to have a slight reaction to the anaesthetics that just leaves me dizzy. All fun and games. Ups were the carpet arriving and getting some drawers together. Really is looking nice in there now. Pity there is still no bed or wardrobes (and they now say they are out of stock so we might have to wait longer. Better turn up before our guests do!).

Had a design meeting for Martlesham Park & Ride yesterday. We are looking at an eco-friendly building with grass roof, rainwater toilets etc. Could be very interesting in the final mix. Watch this space!

Am currently waiting for a call to go over and provide back-up for a Park & Ride report going to one of the council panels this morning. Trouble is, I really need some up to date passenger information which I'm also waiting for. I just hope they get to me in the right order! Got another mention in the paper yesterday about the Charter Mark. That makes three now from one press release. Talk about value for money.

Finally got around to listening to the Alien Ant Farm cd I got for my birthday. I like. Another one for the recommended pile I'm afraid.

Also finished the '96 yearbook and now on to Harry Potter 2. Enjoying it more than the first as I don't know what's going to happen this time. Good surprise factor so far.

Time to go and hassle for my figures I think.

Another week already. Still, got the glossing done in the bedroom at last, and the carpet is coming tomorrow which means I can start putting the furniture together. Well, the bits we've got anyway - the bed and wardrobes are still on their way! Also means I get a day off to wait for it.

Had a complete shock yesterday - was watching Q tv on Sky and discovered Russell Crowe has a band called 30 Odd Feet of Grunts (strange) and they are actually quite good. Will have to invest in the CD sometime. I wonder who else out there makes music that could surprise me. If only I had more time to sit and listen to it. Especially now the BBC have launched their new Radio station which we can also get through the dish. They are promising lots of archive concerts so providing they actually publicise when they are going to be on (and then play them when they say they will) we could be in for a serious mini-disc crisis!

Watched Moulin Rouge from DVD yesterdy. Absolutely superb but not at all what I was expecting. Not really sure what I was expecting, but not that! Will have to do the writers commentary ASAP to find out if any of the bits I didn't recognise were also stolen from songs. And if I ever get a video capture card or work out how to nick images direct from the DVD in my PC it will be one of the first to be snaffled from.

Oh, and did indeed start a yearbook - 1996.
