Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

My week, it hasn't sucked. In fact, I was so encouraged I bought lottery tickets this evening :) This was mostly prompted by going to pay for parking at lunchtime and finding £1.20 in the ticket machine refund coin thingy. I believe in riding the luck while it's with you.

Last night I ventured into deepest, darkest Hemel Hempstead (only took 1 wrong turn, I am improving) to see a lady who'd advertised house clearance goodies on the work's intranet noticeboard. Turns out she's moving to New Zealand, having already spent 2 years over there, decided they love it, so she's come back to pack up and sell the house. Anyway, I was after some crockery, as most of mine is crap, and I came away with 3 plates, 4 bowls, a pestle and mortar, a casserole dish and a huge lovely serving platter that's meant for pasta but will work for pretty much any communal food. It's all in decent nick and I got it all for £20. Frankly, the serving platter would have cost at least that new, so I reckon I did ok out of the deal.

I'm in severe danger this week of having an actual life. I don't know WHAT's come over me. :P Today I had a lovely lunch with Pauline and we caught up on various matters. We went to the new Weatherspoons in Hertford, called The Six Templars. If you're in Hertford, I can recommend it. They have several very good meal deals and we had fish and chips each (NOT small portions, either!) and two drinks, all of which came to a tenner.

Tomorrow I am going to see The Dark Knight with thalinoviel. This makes the second week in a row we've gone to the movies, having gone to see Hancock last week. BTW, I can thoroughly recommend that film, I really enjoyed it. It's going to be one of those I watch a LOT when it's out on DVD, I can tell.

Saturday there is drunken debauchery decorous drinking with thessalian in WGC. Cold, crisp cider, I have been dreaming of it this week. Oh yes. Sunday may be cancelled due to lack of interest :P

Oh and I get paid tomorrow. Life is good :D
