The Corner House

Nothing really.
Except message on my mobile from H. Mairead died on Wednesday.
Feel sorry. We're all on borrowed time.
Someone in the class today wrote about 'her beliefs were part Wiccan, part Buddhist and part marijuana-inspired spirituality'. Isn't that brilliant? I'm obviously going to be the class dunce 'cos I couldn't think of anything like that.
It very much expresses my philosophy, I'm such an old hippie chick.
Except when someone's dies. Then, I just think, and why shouldn't I, Mairead was a good person and I just think, well, she's gone to Heaven.

Work up tired despite 8 hours sleep.
Oh, I hate this morning lark. The one (maybe only) advantage of 11 years on nights was never having to rush anywhere first thing in the morning.
Bonnie, bless her, has decided she can drive me to a station near my university (it's on her way to work). So this was first day of new system. And her being up at the same time gave me an audience.
'This is hell, all this hectic stuff, being so busy, first bloomin' thing'.
'Indeed, hell, for you and 90 per cent of the population'.
'I'm not used to it. I can't find my shoes'.
'They'll be where you left them last night'.
'3 pairs of flat, black shoes and I can't find a single one of them. I'm going to really look the part in patent stilletoes, aren't I? As if I don't stick out enough being 30 years older than the rest of them'.
'You'll stick out more when you live in the Halls. How you honestly think your going to get on there.'
'I'll be in the mature students Halls'.
'Indeed, that will be a vast improvement. Do you realise they class 25 as mature; they'll still be up all night having parties, taking drugs, shagging.... I don't think you'll fit in'.
'At least I won't have to get out of bed at at 7 for an 11'clock lecture'.
'Hurry up. Stop moaning. You'll miss that train. I've never known anyone moan so much'.
'I haven't put my make-up on...'.
'Too late. Do it in the car'.
'What? Are you serious? Put my make-up on in the car? Like some kind of..... animal?'
Bonnie cracked up at this and asked 'What kind of animal wears make-up? I've never seen Fizz apply lipstick when she's in the car?.
Long story short. After all that, I did manage to catch my train.
