Today, I am not at work – I went to Wokingham and met Pa for lunch, which was erm… well Wokingham really!
It rained the whole way there and the whole way back and at one point I couldn’t actually see the car in front on the motorway there was so much spray everywhere.
It’s weird not being at work during the week – everything’s quieter, the TV’s full of people shouting at each other, DNA testing their kids to see who they belong to, and Kim and Aggie sorting out cess-pit houses.
This non-work day and bout of daytime TV has had me reminiscing about my student days when I used to live on diet Coke and chocolate raisins – the former is right beside me, the latter I am resisting in my current battle against my double-figure figure.
Sometimes I miss those days, where there was time to study, new things to learn, exciting projects to embark on and 50p pints down the union. But then I realised that I still have new things to learn, exciting projects to embark on – currently 150 sugar-paste roses for NikNak’s wedding cake – and erm… £5 pints in Soho – OK so inflation has stuffed up the beer drinking, but if I am battling my double-figure figure, I should really give the beer a miss, too.
I think it’s October that’s had me reminiscing mostly. It’s always a month of challenges, reflection and changes for me and this year’s is already proving to be just that – with some good, some bad, and some downright sad. October finishes with my birthday – I’m perpetually 21 don’t you know – and then it’ll be November.
Phew.
Bring it on…

You must have been served by a friendly barman as I was at uni before you and it wasn't £0.50 a pint then. Cheapest was £0.98 for Scotch bitter in Wetherspoons or £1.25 for IPA in teh Dolphin.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR THE END OF THE MONTH!
haha! don't you remember Lanky? He was a very friendly barman... never remember a pint costing what a pint should...
Don't wish away your birthday, DG!
Best wishes in advance of the day,
Sarah
