Wednesday

I’ve just got off the phone with the solicitors & can now report that the 10% bank-bond has been delivered. My relief is physical, in that I suddenly feel as though I’ve had my strings cut – I didn’t realise just how much this was preying on my mind.  As such, I intend on having a glass of wine tonight to celebrate – at least it is another hoop that successfully jumped through; just another hundred or so to take-care of in the next month…!

 

Also, last night, I went to my Dutch course. I still think that it’s broadly a waste of time, as I always come away feeling like a moron but… I try to keep my promises, so I went.

Top bananna!

Comment with the words "Top Ten" or "Top Five", and I will reply with a subject for which you will generate a top ten (or top five) list. Post the list and these instructions in your own journal, if you want to.

whollyrandom gave me Top Five Relaxation Techniques. In no particular order:

1. Solving the problem that is preventing me from relaxing, thus achieving ‘closure’ (a sickening Americanism, & I apologise in advance)
2. Consumption of alcohol in a social setting; a personal favourite, this.
3. Going to the Turkish Steam baths – preferably the ones in Harrogate.
4. Exercise; doing something that requires physical & mental effort takes my mind off the problem & helps me relax.
5. Fantasy extermination of all those responsible for my current problems, possibly twinned with fantasy escape of ‘what I would do if I win the lottery’ (not that I play it)
