What’s the point in males wearing those jeans that hang below your arse? Do they realise what knobs they look like? I saw somebody running to a train, in France, who had some on - he looked hilarious.

Well. The train journey from Bremen to Copenhagen was pretty knackering. The train actually boarding the ferry at Pottgarden, to Denmark, was a strange experience. Must have been a long ferry.

Checking my e-mails I found out that the flat in Witney has been flooded, so I’m going back on the 25th to do all the insurance stuff and move what’s left to my parents’ house. Strangely enough I feel quite calm about this - might be the Carlsberg that I’ve been drinking…..?

Just come back from a weekend at Lorna’s, for her house-warming party in Leeds. I’m now pretty tired.

Not looking forward to finalising packing tomorrow, ready for my departure to Europe.

It has been really interesting not working for over a month now. You get time to reflect on things going on around you. One of the most striking things - has been watching everybody rushing around; rush to work, work, rush home from work, rush, rush, rush. People flying past you at 100mph on the motorway, only to meet them at the next roundabout. Do you actually know why you are working? Will you ever get to retire and enjoy yourself?

Got officially diagnosed with IBS during the week, only taken the doctors a year to give me a diagnosis. Now taking some drugs, which seem to have reduced the pain and the bloating. Not sure I fancy taking them for the rest of my life though. Maybe the travelling will help?

I know that eating Mexican food and drinking Coronas is probably not a good idea either, but it was damn tasty!

I can’t wait for a visit from the fairy mentioned below:

Only problem - is that I’m not sure if it’s the fairy that has a big one, or that it can give you a big one.

Traffic on the motorways is just getting to a stupid level. How can you be in a traffic jam on the M40 at 10.30pm? The M25 is just a joke, as is the M6.

What would happen if everybody gave up money and reverted back to trading things they made (like The Good Life)?

Went for a walk in the rain today. Started off with light-rain, then dry, then absolutely tipped it down. Makes you feel alive to be in the outdoors, when the weather turns really nasty. Couple of pics from the walk:

After drying off, had a nice Sunday lunch then watched Shrek the Third. An enjoyable day!
