Not unless I can cure my addiction to the odd glass of wine and a good evening meal will I ever be able to get into a Vivienne Westwood half-belted trouser. Even her "etxra large" offering is around a 32 inch waist. Deplorable. That's about a couple of light years in diet pills and exercise away from where I am now, here on Planet "Angst". Anyway, that aside, I have been daydreaming less and less, and just for today, in the heat of this Indian Summer (that I said would never happen in a million years), I have focused on eating way less food. Sadly, I have drunk the odd glass more of wine. True, that for every glass of wine I consume, I down an equal volume of water, this has more to do with ensuring that the alcohol goes further than any innate health issues. Apparently, it was a crime in ancient Greece to drink undiluted wine unless for a medical issue . . .it looks like the BMA want to ban alcohol adverts here in the UK. Yes! Yes, indeed, they must be MAD! If people want to drink, then they will. And they will do crack, H, unprotected sex, cigarettes, and indulge in a Smorgasboard of adult behaviours that are undoubtedly bad for body and soul, but would seem like a good idea at the time. I am certain that a lot of these every so filthy habits are really quite good for the economy, both local and national.
Why have I volunteered to work in the Delius Centre today? I am having lunch with my colleague and friend, TL, at 1230, an event that I am very much looking forward to. I hope that we have the chance to go to Floor 6 at the College? Anyhow, back to reality. At the last Board meeting - last week, I volunteered to help with some DIY issues, including getting the Victorian floor tiles in the entrance hall free of gloss paint and other contaminants. I have a selection of chemicals in the garage that will do, inlcuding Nitromors paint stripper, but do I have old clothing?????
I have, just this morning, been offered more teaching slots. Thank you! Thank you, to whatever Gods there are listening right now. The class that I lost that was scheduled for tomorrow night - Flash Animations - cancelled last week due to poor numbers - has now been replaced with two more: Digital Imaging courses that run until June 2010. So, I am obviously glad that these hours come in, and since my University course slots appear to be Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, I could be okay? That's the theory anyhow. Let's see when it starts to get a litte hairy. That will be down to someone at the College "accidentally" deleting my log on credentials, or not paying me, etc. In fact, I must go down there today and see Payroll about outstanding monies. I am really trying to make sure that I am fully diarised, and have my teaching appointments for all to see on Google, and on my website at www.johnarmstrong.me.uk
