You're slipping

I only made it to skip=400, people. Have you all been away as well?
It's so nice to be back, although I have a head full of STUFF that needs dealing with at some point, and a flat full of STUFF that needs putting away, tidying up, washing or filling out. As long as I don't get them mixed up, I should be fine.
How's everyone doing? Not that there's ever anyone around on a Sunday, but still. *waves* Y'all alright? Anything exciting happen while I was gone? I'll give you a full report of the conference later, but suffice it to say that I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would, and have enough food for thought to see me through the long summer.
Please do link me to stuff - yours or other people's - that you think I might like.
major_jim is still up to his eyeballs in thesis, so I need distracting.
Hope everyone's well! Do drop in - I'll keep the coffee coming and am making banana bread for whoever wants it (actually, if anyone has any good banana cake recipes, I'd love to know...)
(Thalia, Hllangel, I got ALL the emails and will be in touch once the flat no longer looks like it was attacked by a small, messy whirlwind)
ETA: Shopping has been achieved! Tidying is next, but I need more fortifying first. Also, I've discovered that one of my Tweets was re-tweeted on a 'good_education' Twitter account (the one about spelling that did nasty things to my blood pressure). I've never been RT'd before. It's a very odd feeling, especially when you only find out 2 days later.
If anyone's listened to any good motivational music/programmes lately, I'd love to know about them. It could be a long day *rolls up sleeves*
ETA2: For three days, someone has presented me with food of some form and all I had to do was eat it. The fact that I'm now bursting out of my 'fat' trousers is testament to this. But I appear to have forgotten how to prepare my own food. The kitchen is a baffling place.

Happy Solstice!
Date: 2009-06-21 04:33 pm (UTC)Today is summer solstice! I celebrated by getting bitten by mosquitoes in my quest to commune a little with nature. XD (Nature is very hot and sticky right now. I think I'm better off communing with my air conditioner, since temperatures over 30C make me melt...!)
In other words - nothing interesting to report, but checking in anyway, just because. ♥
And I'm pretty sure everyone's already seen this vid a lot (with twenty one million hits, someone's been watching), and I've linked to it before, but I love it so much I'm going to link to it again. Dancing. Because it's good to be reminded of how awesome we humans can be.
Re: Happy Solstice!
Date: 2009-06-21 04:41 pm (UTC)I've been very aware of the longer days, especially while in Manchester - just 3 hours north makes a big difference on the day-length. It's so lovely, and since it's giving me energy in ways I'm not used to, I'm taking full advantage of it.
*g* You're always welcome here, interesting stories or not ♥ Especially when you come bearing links! I'll check it out later when I get off the laptop. Thanks!
