Hmm

Despite my blog from blogger being imported to 'My Notes' on facebook (a web community thingummy similar to myspace, except it connects people through school, university, company and regional networks), what I post on 'My Notes' doesn't get exported back.

Lesson learnt? Blog on blogger if want all to see. Unfortunately, I can't be bothered to repeat the same post as I just wrote on facebook.

Boy boards plane without tickets

Right, so a kid boards a plane without a ticket. And this isn't a problem despite recent bomb plots and plane things because the airport was "confident" that the kid wasn't a security risk. Umm, doesn't one normally have to pay to fly? We can't have people fare evading on planes, that's just ridiculous!

Younger siblings are apparently funnier

According to this article that follows from some research or other, I'm supposed to be funnier than my siblings. At any rate, I think it explains why Yog finds me so hilarious.

So... today starts my second week of work. The excitement of the day is that I'm answering phones on a different floor this afternoon, due to miscoordinated leave up there.

Aaaaaaanyway, today marks the start of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon... quite how long it'll last I've no idea. Israel have said their soldiers will still act defensively (i.e. if they are attacked) and Hezbolla have said that they'll only keep the ceasefire if Israeli soldiers get out of Lebanon, which hasn't happened as the IDF are waiting for the UN force/Lebanese army to move south and take control. The ceasefire may be interesting, shall we say.

On a completely separate note, I had a really nice day yesterday. Josh (my nephew) came over for lunch and the afternoon (although I left with Si at 1.30), and then Si and I went to the afternoon prom, which was lots of Mozart with Maxim Vengerov on violin (I have previously spelt his name differently, but that's how it was in the programme). It was a really good (and packed) prom. Afterwards we hopped on the bus towards Leicester Sq and ate at Tokyo Diner- sushi! We then went and bought ice cream afterwards, which was rather yummy too (although Ben & Jerry's in Leicester Sq doesn't have half-baked). That was basically it, but it just felt like an enjoyable day.

Re-vamp

You may have noticed something a bit different here. After a virtual poke or two (or rather someone telling me to change it), I went and changed the template and I may now twiddle some more- it all depends on quite how busy work is, and also the rest of the summer. Comments are appreciated- let me know what you think about the new look.

As I've just said... I have a summer job! Started today (I'm actually posting this from work, as it's rather quiet), two weeks of general admin covering someone who's on holiday I think. Long hours, but at least I get paid for them.

Aside from that, I've been relatively quiet on the blogging side... mainly because there haven't been many big things to blog about. Usual kinda summer break stuff: shopping, seeing friends, etc. Been to a few of the proms with Simon, which have been really nice. :)
