minervasoloFinally got around to listening to that radioryedale thing. Not the voice I'd imagined (the character in my head is early thirties, bright, bubbly, and bitchy), but she's brilliant. Had an amused moment when I clicked on the link, though. People can leave comments (almost no one does), and there's one there:
A superb short story with an interesting twist. I enjoyed listening to the excellent way the story read. 10 out of 10 Ms Kingston.
Guess who left it? My mother's partner. Pretending not to know me. I'm amused, and feeling a little patronised, but I know that's not intentional. He's put his real name down, and then called me 'Ms Kingston'.
Yeah, amused. It's not my favourite brand of humour, but it took me by surprise in a good way. An eye-rolling way.
I didn't get nearly as much reading done as I meant to today, but I did draw something I've been ignoring for a while, and got the laundry done, and spoke to mum (though she called me). Tomorrow I have supervisor meeting, and perscriptions, and date. Oh, that's a thought - must make up mind about course options.
I was going to do a post about the oncoming petrol strike a few days ago, but it seems to have disappeared from the news now. I'm guessing they got their price cuts, coz the last thing Labour want before a general election is everyone stuck at home. Personally, I'd love a strike now. I don't drive, and I almsot never take the bus. Shops are in walking distance, as it work and class. I'd probably get more work, because most people have to drive in, and fewer classes, for the same reason. I'd worry a little about not enough food getting to Sainsbury's, but I've got enough for more than a week. Last strike I was at school, and I enjoyed seeing a business man ride a scooter (foot-propelled style) down the high street and I don't even remember the bus being particularly overcrowded. My fuel policy would be reserve it for ambulances and fire engines etc, give price dispensations to doctors and police and teachers and similar, and let everyone else look for alternatives. More money into public transportation. More public transportation options. More local schools and hospitals and police stations so people don't have to travel so far. And possibly blow up the London ringroad, just because. You try queuing past Gatwick and Heathrow twice a term.
