I'll be making jam next...

I have to move that beer head picture down and out of my view: every time I see it I come out in a sympathy hangover. Not good.

I’ve been thinking I should set myself to write a thousand words a day, but it seems that thinking isn’t good enough. It doesn’t get it done…

So when am I going to do my writing? Today I’ve spent three hours at website brain drain training, (I can’t believe I outed myself as an IT Idiot a few days ago on Caroline’s comments and am admitting that I’m a webmaster of a charity here in Bangkok. This just goes to illustrate that sometimes, in charities, beggars can’t be choosers: volunteers are volunteers, after all!)

I came home for a rushed lunch, then I had a meeting with the Coffee Ladies (I can’t believe I’m ‘fessing up about have coffee ladies on our committee!) who are planning a coffee in June in my apartment and they wanted to see the space and decide where stuff should go (Jesus, did I really say out loud that we’ve got coffee ladies who want to come and do a recce six weeks before the actual date?)

Then one child came home from school, the other child missed the bus and had to wait for next one, the coffee ladies were still discussing which table should go where, and where they might be able to put the raffle prizes.

The management office of the apartments sent some men up to put up pictures and remove a dining room table and chairs at the same time as coffee ladies were trying to decide whether the sofa should be moved, and when to get the balloons delivered: day before or early that morning?

I still haven’t got time to write, let alone energy: I’m so exhausted trying to remember where the coffee ladies want my dining room table put in six weeks time.

List making

I had to make a list to make sure I got EVERYTHING done today.

I even had to put 'wash hair' on.

Also on the list was:

Make Hermione Granger tie - tick, made from purple felt and yellow paper! For World Book Day costume, unoriginal I know but I only got three days notice that it was required. So there.

Organise book club website pages for Dreamweaver Brain Drain class - tick

Get links for Bangkok book shops for book club website pages - tick

Oh that doesn't sound like very much, does it? But for some reason I feel like I'm chasing my tail today. 'Organise book club website pages' was lots of work - I want to upload the pics of the books, and have a link to the review, so all the reviews (which start off in the magazine) had to be changed subtly and have a consistant style.

Am going to a posh party tonight, where there is a distinct possibility of Ferrero Rocher chocolates being served by tall haughty looking butler.

Shame I'm not the skinny girl in the designer ball gown. Oh well.
