Sugar Crash

A woman who is dressed as if for the Arctic has just walked past my window. Seriously, big coat, hood up, huge insulated boots, mittens... I know it's not a beautiful day here, but its July y'know, and it's a clear evening and reasonably warm. I suppose she is an old person...
Today has been pretty interesting. I succesfully managed to get through my signing on this morning, despite not actually having done anything to look for work in the past two weeks, and then I spent the rest of the day sequentially chatting to one person after another, and I myself have been almost hyperactive - like I had too much sugar and caffeine, so I've been in a much better mood than I have been for the past couple of days.
In other news London somehow won the right to stage the Olympic games of 2012, which is suddenly very exciting. Nobody in Britain gave much of a toss about it until just before 1pm today when we'd suddenly beaten the French and now had to put on some sort of show... Of course, there is still a lot of annoyance about the fact that its in bloody London, and yet its going to end up costing the entire country, but that's just the way it is. I fully expect the French to be real pains in the arse now though - I mean they've been a nuisance in Europe ever since the referendum fiasco, but now they've lost this too... I reckon we're gonna have our hands full during our presidency of both the G8 and the EU. Bloody French.
Now I'm suddenly starting to feel unexpectedly tired, so whatever thoughts I may have had will have to be expressed at a later date.
Oh yeah and I'm going to London on a shopping trip tomorrow, so don't expect an update tomorrow either. I suspect normal service will be returned on Friday.
