On Blue Peter today. If you do watch it and see a girl with blonde bobbed hair and a big grin participating, that’s my friend Melissa.

What’s mattress dominoes? It’s this:

And then I might update my blog more often. My steam-powered-punkin’ computer ain’t that much fun to boot up - it’s so old, it has an external wireless dongle. Brains here realised just the other day that’s why I haven’t been blogging as much - a bad workman blames his tools, but I think it’s true.

I aim to crank up the comp on the weekend and do a big load of blogging…I promise!!!

I get nervous skating track and I’m 29…this 53-year-old librarian (and roller derby girl) puts me to shame…

No, not the Devo song - the Hollywood film about roller derby featuring Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis, and Drew Barrymore. It’s also Barrymore’s directorial debut. The film is based on the book ‘Derby Girl’ by Shawna Cross.

ROLLER DERBY…..IS COMING….AND IT’S REALLY *HOT*…

I feel like a real adult now. Why? Because:

- I haven’t had time to update this blog for a while
- I long for the weekend so I can do chores in the house
- I am actually starting to consider doing ironing because now I see all clothes look better when ironed, not just stuff for ‘going out’
- I love a clean kitchen
- If I don’t drink enough water in a day, I feel bad
- Nights in are the new going out for me (I think that’s a bit of a London living thing)
- Sundays bored me as a kid (raining outside, black and white films on BBC2), now it’s a day to relax
- I’m wondering whether I’m now too old to shop in TopShop
- I’m 30 next year

But - on the plus side, I did get ID’ed in the supermarket the other day when buying a bottle of Jack Daniels. The guy said I looked 19. I replied glibly, ‘What can I say - I’m blessed with good genes’ : )
