Had a brilliant afternoon.actually let me start with the morning: I'd been told by mr Dr last week to fast from midnight(lastnight) in preparation for my blood tests this morning. Nothing about having to pee on demand for the urine sample although i had an inkling i might have to. I arrived promptly at 8:45(having had my first pee when i dragged myself out of bed eventually at 7:30). The nurse, who was unusualy afable swabbed my arm and stuck the needle in. actually she had a bit of a problem, probably torn the vein a bit as i have slight bruising and a clear line that's healing

Anyway, after all the testtubes(five in total) she asked if I could give a urine sample, after scolding me for not having drunk water throughout the night. The Dr didnt mention it so...

I tried: nothing. Had two glasses of water, waited and waited. I think coffee would have got things going and eventually I gave up and told them i'll bring the pee frist thing tomorrow morning. what could I do? i was feeling hungry by then anyway. However as is sometimes the case, as soon as I left and I was in the middle of nowhere, i felt a sudden urge to pee. Bugger Nothing much I could do, went off to starbucks, had a muffin and a coffee and peed much later.

About the afternoon: a friend from USA was passing thru London and she'd contacted me a few weeks ago to see if we could meet. we used to be roommates, a wonderful girl. She came a couple summers ago and worked as a bartender during her summer break from college. For once in my life I was on time, we went to a pub, had pint each, and gosspied, reminisced and just had a good 1hr30 together. she was meeting a posse of her other friends later but it was great to see her.

I had napped for almost two hrs after zigzagging all over the plce looking for books for my graphics course. dissertation being out of the way means I need to concentrate on other stuff i've been neglecting.

I wore a dress today. I've had it for about 7yrs now. had to go bra-less since it's spaghetti straps, black with some flowery patterns. So it was funny when my friend Rosa was teiing me about a shirt she saw at Ted Baker which is apparetnly backless but had a boob tube since she doesnt have any boobs(her words).I looked at mine with my nipples sticking out and told her she's got something. I only have a couple of grapes

The shirt sounds fab and is on sale for £35. down from £45 or £50. Ofcourse she'd still be paying twice with her dollars but she is very tempted. mmhhh will hear whether she takes the plunge or not.
