25 again. How the time flies when you're having fun! Shame it's miserable weather, but then it is wimbledon fortnight so I guess that's inevitable. I've been stuck at work this morning, but I have a nice afternoon of pampering planned, then I understand I'm going out tonight, but have no idea where or what for at the moment (which is kind of fun!).

Further reports may follow when I've recovered from the rather inevitable hangover...

(The make-up went fine - we practiced lots!)

Do you ever get that feeling that life is just running too fast? No matter how chilled out you are generally, you get those moments when everything seems too quick for you to assimilate what's going on. Not necessarily anything unpleasant or difficult, just too much going on at once, meaning you're probably missing things. Ah well - it'll all slow down again soon!

Off up north tomorrow (well - it's pretty north from here anyway!). It'll be great to see people - I haven't crossed the border since Christmas! (And for the benefit of those who aren't up on their Cornish politics - naturally the border is the Tamar that separates Cornwall from England...! Oh god I'm turning into a local! Eeek!) Anyway - where was I? Oh yes - going to see people tomorrow and Monday on my whistlestop tour of the Midlands - although the primary objective is to do a trial run of Pip's make-up for her wedding. (Nervous? Me? Oh yes!) It seemed such a nice idea when she asked me if I'd do it for her - and it still does really and I'm really chuffed that she wants me to - but I'm starting to realise that if I get this wrong, this is what everyone's going to see on the photos etc for evermore! Rescue remedy anyone?!

Hmmm - I've realised I don't post that much on here because I never know what to write. Stuff that's exciting to me is probably utterly boring to anyone reading it - and things that seem normal everyday stuff are probably what you want to know about! Hey ho. So some quick fire updates on my life as it is today:

I have yet another new man in my life - George. I'll get some pics up here soon, but he's a lovely black & white Dutch rabbit. My friend Shev needed a home for him when she had to move house and couldn't take him - so I offered. He has a very delux residence! It's massive! I'll get the camera out and get some pics for you soon.

My garden looks like a bomb site. We're lifting the patio at the moment - and it appears that the person who laid it was a little ... errr ... over enthusiastic. So far we've gone down about 12 inches below the slabs and are still finding concrete. We've managed to borrow a proper breaker for it - but there's still a lot to go. I keep myself sane by sitting on the fab decking at the other end of the garden, and looking at the plan of what it WILL look like when it's finished!

We went to the Royal Cornwall Show yesterday - which was great. I've been to shows before but this one was fantastic! We walked a little over 7 miles and managed to get quite sunburned - but never mind. Lots of inspiration for the future smallholding idea.

What else? Oh yes I'm heading briefly up to Stratford / Leamington next weekend. Just me - and with the primary motive of seeing Pip and doing a trial run for her make-up. (I can't quite believe the wedding's only 5 weeks away!) I'm hoping to fly round and catch up for an hour or two with as many people as possible - but apologies if I can't and my timescales don't suit you. I'll do it properly another time I promise.

Right - more than enough waffle and I need to get back out into the fantastic sunshine - need to get this tan looking amazing in time for the wedding!!
