Shopping In Birmingham

Day 183 I went to Birmingham today, and despite the humidity it was a good trip. I managed to get almost everything on my list - the exception being the iPhone case, cos the shop was closed. But lots of money was wisely spent.

Today's official photo is of my lunch, which I ate by the waterfall near St Martin-in-the-Bullring:



Sushi from Yo!Sushi at Selfridges (utter deliciousness, even the whatever-it-was greenery which got stuck between my teeth), and an awesome chilled coffee thing from Costa - the first chilled coffee thing I've had where caffiene is discernable. It was yummmmmm.

The Lush stuff was really nice, I bought some new soaps (chucked the Sandstone soap out cos it's purpose appears to be to scatter sand in the shower), some talc, and some almond handcream, which I must have put on half an hour ago and my hands are still really almond-scented and soft. And they gave me a mango bath melt, which I melted under the shower and rubbed all over as a body moisturiser, so both me and the bathroom smell of mango.

And I completely forgot to tweet any of this while I was out. I blame the influence of the STS-132 crew, who I was thinking of today (they're somewhere in the UK now) and who apparently cannot tweet.

Do You Really Work Here?

OMG in my last post I forgot to mention the dream I had last night. I saw about ten seconds of John Barrowman in Desperate Housewives yesterday, and ended up dreaming that he worked in my office - and as part of my team too. Not sure what he was supposed to be doing, but he was trying to sell T-shirts to us, T-shirts designed by a friend of his. We weren't really interested but he was still being jolly and smiling. I wondered how long it would be before he suggested we all go to Browns after work, which I would be up for if enough of us were going.

Heh. The tags for this entry are "work" and "dream". I'm a writer, I should be thinking up awesome tags like ticcyyy has. But at least I'll remember what "work" and "dream" (and now "lj") mean.
