Lilacs and furniture and yet more nesting...

[mousme]

I had dinner with my supervisor and his wife yesterday, and had a lovely time. I went there in order to get lilacs for the garden (he has a bunch overgrowing his yard), and they are currently trying to find a foothold in my garden. We had a great time: he showed me his garden (gorgeous, though precious few vegetables), and the rest of his home, into which they've obviously poured a lot of love and time and care. They are fonder of little knick-knacks and tacky doo-dads than I am, including lots of little china figurines of cutesy gnomes and things, but on the whole it was a charming home. Dinner was delicious, and we had a lot of fun playing with their parakeet, Billy.

The patio furniture arrived this morning, and moonandtree helped me put together the table (with some assistance from George, naturally). If I have time tomorrow I'll put together the barbecue, and maybe eventually I'll actually get some tidying and cleaning done.

I have randomly developed a headache since about 16:00, which has been lurking in the back of my head and behind my right eye. I should probably medicate it, but I've been too lazy and distracted. I think it's a tiredness-related headache more than anything else. It's not a migraine, although it shows all the signs of being the precursor to one (the stabbing feeling behind the eye is a gimme)

In more pleasant news, I went to Hurley's tonight, where I spent several very happy hours with tcaptain and maya_banana chatting about their honeymoon and looking at photos. We were joined by miseri, who was unfortunately feeling a bit under the weather. On the whole, though, a good time was had by all.

I am now going to go crash. Stupid headache.

G'ight all. :)

Er, yes, I'd think so.

Sorry you couldn't enjoy the furniture today!

And I have lilac envy. Oooh, ahhh.

I, too, have lilac envy. The damn things don't grow in California, and I LOVE THEM.

Sorry I missed Hurley's - I was a) sick, b) in a meeting, and c) in Philadelphia. which is a great combination, as you can imagine.

I'll see everyone there next week, though!
