*Takes a calming breath*

gothams3rdrobinWork is over for the week, and I'm looking forward to not having to get up early tomorrow morning. However, I still have a busy weekend ahead of me; tomorrow we're going to the hairdressers (for reasons that will become obvious), and then in the evening we're briefly popping into town for the first evening of the Big Weekend festival. This is basically a fairground that encircles the Civic Centre, from the City Hall up to behind the Welsh Office, along the University. There's also a stage put up on the lawn outside City Hall (next to Gorsedd Gardens which, for the Who fans on my list, is where Martha caught up with that professor and gave her some flowers) where bands perform - that poor lawn's only just recovered from the Winter Wonderland, and now it's gonna be torn up again *chuckles* Since Rowan's been good this week, Mam and I are taking him there as a treat, but we're not staying long 'cause I don't want him too tired for the rest of the weekend.
Saturday's going to be fairly hellish; it's my niece Katie's birthday party, then we're catching a lift with a friend to Halifax for another friend's wedding on the Sunday. It's a long drive, and I'll have a tired five year old on my hands. Plus it's approaching that time of the month - my body has a long-standing, extremely annoying habit of waiting till the worst possible moment to bring on the heaviest, most painful day of the cycle. Just to piss me off.
I'm not feeling all that clever right now as it is; ended up doing some wallpaper scraping late last night, on noticing that a corner of my living room where things have been stacked up had, um....gone a bit manky. You know how it is; external wall, stuff in the corner, not much air to circulate... *sigh* So I've had to pull everything away from the wall, strip off the paper (which was the old, horrid stuff anyway for the most part, where Mam hadn't got around to finishing the papering when we moved in) and I cleaned the carpet and bleached the wall tonight. Unfortunately, I think I strained something when I was pulling off the wallpaper last night, as my lower back is very painful today - probably from me stretching over as far as I could while stood on a chair.
I didn't go online last night, 'cause I was busy, but I did call up last week's Friday Night Project, hosted by John Barrowman, on my cable box. (That is hysterical! I recommend anyone who likes John's sense of humour to check out the YouTube clips from it - he's such a giggler!) As a result I have heaps of stories to read, so the plan is to get an early night and take the laptop with me - I can read the stories comfortably then. In theory.
