The adventures of Miss Despina

We have a stag party on the premises, they’re in matching t-shirts and they’re all ugly. Their t-shirts all have some funny joke written on them, although I think the joke will be on them when they realise how far from the centre they are! (I strongly doubt their abilities to work out the night bus timetable!)

The "a" on this stupid computer at fawlty towers has stopped working which means a whole lot of Ctrl+V-ing for yours truly! I should try to write a post without a’s one day, it would be a bit like when Adrian Mole decided to write a book with only consonants…

I enjoyed the film Venus, I think it suited the brooding mood I was in last night. Leslie Phillips and Peter O’Toole really brought a smile to my face as they compared pills and danced around to Dvořák in a church in London - other parts of the film upset me. Maybe my understanding was just too superficial. Jodie Whittaker is bloody gorgeous though!

What do you do when:

• You accidentally have a sex dream about someone who is a good friend and a great guy but you find them physically repulsive?
• Someone you are friends with clearly doesn’t mind sharing, as long as it’s only things that are important to you (I don’t mean food etc) that are being shared?
• You realise you’re running out of time to do what you want to do?
• There’s a language you really hate but actually have to learn?
• You have the choice between two days in Brno or a day in Dresden?
• You keep being late for work, but don’t want to admit to your colleagues the exact reason why you’re finding it hard to get out of bed?
• The prospect of sex is so far in the distance you’re scared you’ll have forgotten how to do it?
• You go back on a decision you’ve made concerning someone else but you don’t have the balls to tell them?
• You can’t stop worrying about everything?
• September brings the promise of so many new challenges it’s a question of what to leave out?
• You can’t stop thinking about this horrendous sex-dream? (AAAArgh get away from me! Put the hat stand down!)

(I’m asking the blogosphere simply because none of these people read me!)

Also, does anyone have a suggestion for an easy to use software package or blog host that I can use to do some serious blog-pimping? Sick of blogsome, and also of my complete lack of skillz!

Meanwhile, in the real world, Plzeň is a nice place to spend a day, except for when you’re dressed for the sun and it starts raining! I’ve booked a hostel in Olomouc in two weeks’ time, I’ll be spending a couple of days there, and hopefully finding time to pop across to Brno and see a friend there. I have a mad idea for tomorrow. It involves going to Dresden… I’ve never been to Germany! Oh, and also I don’t speak much German. Maybe I’ll stun them with my Czech? Nah, maybe not! The only thing I can do wth any confidence in German is order cake! Hang on, actually, that’s all I need to do…

***UPDATE: I chose Brno! I’m getting up at 5! Going to the pictures now to watch Venus, will report back if it’s any good!***
