Vanadis

I've been wondering why no one is commenting on this blog anymore. I know you're reading it, I've got stalker software installed on it so I can see exactly who (almost) is coming on and reading it. Please leave comments. It only takes an minute. You can even tell me this is a pile of shit and I should stop. Whatever.

This has been the first week back after Christ's Mass, James went back home on Tuesday after a meal at the East India Company restaurant which was fantastic. I promised myself a return journey to this place at some point. I like Indian food, very much and this was good stuff.

The rest of the week was dominated by work, as boring as this is. Trowelling off piles of dumping layers is not the most stimulating work I have ever done and I am dreaming of the days I can buy a fuck load of military books off Colin and start selling them. Mind you I made myself a little more comfortable on Wednesday by setting up a painting table and prepping some WW1 British Infantry. I may as well fill my evenings with something more rewarding than watching America's Next Top Model.

I bought Series 8 of Seinfeld yesterday, I bought it from the music shop up Laugarvegur, instead of Elko as I was advised by Margret and Lilja. Infact all week they have been on at me to buy all my products at Elko.

'I need new Headphones' I idly mused

'You'll get them at Elko' Cried Lilja and Marget

After I'd bought (from the same shop as the Seinfeld DVDs) them they asked how much they were and was told they would have been cheaper at Elko. I then went on to mention I was thinking of buying the last two series of Seinfeld that I didn't own. Where do you think I was advised to buy them? That's right... Elko. It's like they have second jobs working on the sales committee at Elko. I'm surprised they don't have Elko tattoos.

In other news, my so-called 'friends' have been writing a blog together (they are so dumb they couldn't do it on their own...). Yesterday the latest piece of shit was published and lo and behold who is in it as a minor character. Yes that's right, it's me. Here is the address if you wish to read this shit, but I wouldn't bother. You'd only be wasting your valuable time.

Most laudable and human Alex.

I wasn't aware of your blog before, but I've added it to my favourites now.

I have only read half of it so far because my puppies need a lot of attention, especially the smallest one. But I promise you that I will read the rest asap.

Your blogs always crack me up.

Don't stop writing them just cos you suddenly got an ego :D

Lots of love K x

Thanks both of you, I don't know what you mean about Ego, Kat. I never had one, never will. I'll try to be positive Magga, but I'm not right happy at the moment. You can sign as much or as little as you like.

I've taken time out from compiling my flange collection and eating free office cake to read your blog. My advice on the trowelling is to get a machine in. You can even machine post holes these days (by these days I mean in winter when it's too cold to really give a toss about archaology)....

I also don't really understand how this works and may have posted a number of things twice. IT'll make you look like you are popular with retards.

I think more people would read this blog if it had more Romans in it.

You moaning minnie Alex,
always wanting attention, sure you know we love the blog and would be lost without it!Are you suffering from some form of rejection at the moment? needing security? Or just needing an ego boost? I am able to keep the Ulster guys up to date with your love life and your year long holiday as well as gathering up some amazing images for my album so keep up the work and be 'Happy' xxx H

My mom told me to read this blog, I don't know why.

Happy to hear that you liked the East Indian Company and also glad you found it without too much trouble (as with Nonnabátar!)
Regarding your whole speech about my and Lilja's praise for Elko I must say that we were only trying to look after your money, since I do believe the Seinfeld series were cheaper there :)
Anyways, that's my comment...see you monday!
