jeez man, are all men in suits who travel for business as fucking stupid as the lot sitting next to me?
fucking knobs have just given me the once over and suggested that perhaps she’s lonely and needs giving the once over FUCK OFF.
sorry about the over use of the word fuck but it fucking felt good so fuck it.
so here i am sitting having dinner by myself at my hotel willing the hours to go by. i’ve only got 2 more days to go, but it still seems so so far away and totally out of my reach. it’s been a good trip so far. today was good as we had a little bit of free time so we went to the market and i bought stupid amounts of ribbon and twine. close of 200m of the stuff actually. 20m of it is for my assistant, she gets married in august and we have been busy collecting jars of all sizes to wrap in lace and place tea lights in. they are going to look so god damn pretty. on the way home from the hotel popped into a pashmina factory and ordered two for me to collect on friday. oliver if you read this yes there is a very good reason why i need two more. you can never have enough shoes, bags, biscuits, cheese & pashminas. oh and ribbon.
2 more days and i will be packing up me troubles and heading home to saarf london. in 2 more days however, i will also be sitting in delhi airport waiting to board my plane and when that clock turns to 00.01 it will be my 30 something and a little more something birthday. oh joy. oh well at least i will have a shit load of ribbon and 2 pashminas to keep me company!
so here i am, my first day in delhi out of 6. it’s a familiar place for me. i have been travelling to delhi, twice or trice a year for around 10 years now. much has changed over the years and the city has grown at a rather ridiculous pace and it is very different to the early days of my travelling experiences. i love it and hate it. the mix had always been slightly heavier weighted toward the love of it but in recent years that has been changing to more to hatred of it each time i return.
seaside in the city has in her own words shamelessly stolen this from the Chris Moyles Show on Radio 1. but like she says it’s a bit of silliness and that i like, so therefore i will join in, it is friday so what the heck!
this is the plan:
put your mp3 player onto shuffle and then list the first 5 songs it plays. do not cheat
then tag some people if you fancy or just join in like i have, hope you enjoy
