I was very pleased that Warwickshire won their game easily today, though they'd already won the second division title. However I was quite sad as I left the ground as it's the end of the season, no more cricket until next April  |

I might still be able to find you one, Andy. The yard is quieter of an evening now, but there are still a few out there when it's warm.

Happy! Happy! Happy!
I have not worn my jeans for a year or so, and thought to try them again. They had holes in the crotch.
I went to the usual shop in Oxford Street to get some new ones, and I COULD FIT IN JEANS WITH THE SAME WAIST WIDTH AS BEFORE! ! !
That despite all this Italian, Slovenian, German and Belgium breakfasts and dinners I have been putting away.
It was a bit of a struggle, but, hey, I could do it at all. I feel slim. I feel young. The human capacity for self-deception is limitless.

Hurrah! I fear I can never find jeans small enough for me... belts are constant...I remember that eru. It didn't last. Having said that, belts are still very necessary due to (perhaps) my waist being the wrong shape? Also I think that they look better. Now I can buy jeans and trousers with a decent waist to leg ratio, which makes me happy. But you must have a really small waist... smaller than mine at your age... Cripes. |

I'm happy on two fronts. Both of which are rather sad (sad in a pathetic sense, not in a teary sense).
After promising me a new one for months, work have finally ordered me an Academic Diary for this year. I would have just gone out and bought my own if I hadn't been told that I would be provided with one (and after our admin looked crestfallen (like a sad (teary) newt) when I told her that I already had one last year). I'm taking great pleasure in putting things into it (no, not like frogs).
As I have said elsewhere, I matriculate for the PGCert course tomorrow, and for that I have to provide a passport photo. I hate passport photos, and (if I'm honest) I've been putting it off. I always come off badly (last time I tried I had a migraine and I looked like the living dead) and invariably it's on a day when I'm wearing glasses, which makes people look at me funny when I show it to them and I'm wearing contacts. Right now I need a haircut and have these rather annoying spots on my face (they feel like Borg implants right now) so I was not looking forward to seeing what a photo booth would turn me into.
Reading the form again, I saw that I can send a jpeg, so I've just gone through my recently liberated library of digital photos of me, and selected one I quite like; cropped it and resized it and emailed it away. It's too late to make up into a card for tomorrow but it's done now.

That's good news hh. I lost my (paper) driving licence 3-and-a-bit years ago and still haven't sent off for a replacement because I knew it would have to be a photo one and I kept putting it off till a day I felt I'd look good in a photo booth!
I did actually get about three sets of passport photos taken more recently than that when I went to Mexico for the first time and realised at the last minute that my passport had less than 6 months to run and I ought to get a new one so they didn't try to deny me entry, and I thought those photos had turned out OK, but when I saw how one of them came out in the passport once digitalised I went off it again, and still haven't done anything about my driving licence! (Good job I don't have a car and don't really need it.)

My driving license photo was taken around six years ago. It's so small and pixellated that it doesn't seem to matter.
I haven't needed it (other than occasionally) since the week after I passed my test when I was so relieved that my mum's car actually started (I had flooded the engine before choir practice and was so flustered that I needed help to push it to a car-parking space) that I happily sailed past a police station with no lights on (it was all very well lit) at around 10pm...
I should really update the address on it though...
[edit]ah - but I'm planning to move soon...[/edit]

I was trying to think of another occasion but nothing sprang immediately to mind.
If I have to prove my address, it's not much good because it still has my parents' address on it.
I think I used it at some point in the last 6 months to prove my age.
Those were the occasions of which I was thinking, not any motoring ones.
