What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Getting a scary number of inches cut from my hair, but finding that I really quite like the results.

Knowing that the next two days will be spent doing fun things with friends, hopefully in the sunshine, just before going to Greece on Friday. 'Tis shaping up to be a good week.

I assign my car ... a day of public transport in the sticks is enough. Sorry planet - I'll try to make it up to you in other ways. Also living in the kind of area where idiot me can leave her carkeys in the boot lock and discover the fact by them still being there in the morning - rather than the car being absent.

Reputation points and kind comments to go along with them!

I assign Leonard Cohen and small things that make you feel even a bit better when you're annoyed and tired. Like, finally deciding to book a ticket for a gig and the fact that my mother will pay it.

Being given flowers (as long as they are not orange).

Getting a new assignment but not for a week so I can catch up with all the things and people I didn't this week because I was having meetings and interviews and was inexplicably addicted to obscure Olympic sports.

The assignment being in my home town so I'll have about a five minute commute.

The sun actually shining.

Going out to lunch to somewhere I really like but haven't been for ages.

Scones and jumbleberry jam.

A fab chocolate mousse recipe that is simple and show stopping (thank you James Martin).

walks around the Academic Oval of my school during very early mornings or late afternoons (when the noisy students and honking cars are gone)

walks around Baguio City

walks around a tree-studded place.

lying down all morning in a bench near the fishpond.

oh and old Spanish churches, Tyndall effect and dust, and no mass or anything going on. I love going to church when nobody else is around.
