busy busy, hail and sunshine

For all those who think that Londoners are just whiny and grumpy with all their complaints about the erratic weather (ie me before I lived here): It was breezy and sunny one moment and then started hailing all of a sudden! yes loud noisy hail=huge pieces of ice falling out of the sky for all of I think half a minute, and there's now glorious sunshine overheating my room now. I think London's weather's crazier than my moods.

I've been busy busy busy and can't find enough time as usual. Sigh. It's mostly been very good, like birthday dinners and hwachong night and warm Tuesday cells, but quite quite tiring. Under the "not very good" category then, lies everything to do with B201/202/203/34/25.

The cd I ordered finally came in the post, snugly tucked into a bubble wrap envelope! I tell you, popping bubble wrap bubbles must rank as one of the most inane but effective stress-relief activities ever. Which is what I'm going back to doing now. haha.

And in the spirit of Valentine's Day (long past I know, but ocf is celebrating tomorrow, so.), read about this man's sacrificial love.

And a quote:

When falling in love, we seem to float on air. The whole world seems wonderful, and we take in stride people who normally irritate us and things that normally frustrate us. … A particular person's idiosyncrasies, which normally rub us the wrong way, no longer affect us adversely. For a while, we simply seem to be able to love anyone — to love our neighbor — without any effort at all. These momentary occasions can … give us a glimpse of what it would be like to love our neighbor all the time.
- Diogenes Allen

And back to work. :)

am I willing to be broken bread and poured-out wine?
