A long day.

A few days ago, my Bun had shoulder-length, thick, English-mouse-brown hair.




... not so much. Doesn't she have an aristocratic nose!


It has been a long day today. We had to pack about a million boxes/bags/luggages into the nine-seater minibus we hired for today. We left the village no more than an hour later than we'd sorta planned... fortunately the journey took two hours instead of two and a half, so we got to the university just after noon. Acquired a helpful student guide who not only showed us where the brats are to live, but also helped unload a million luggages into their rooms. Perhaps it is unsurprising that it took quite a lot of the afternoon for them to get their Copious Stuff sorted out.

Bun was quite gleeful and eager to make the acquaintances of her new flat-mates. Boy was very worried, possibly to the point of being scared. My BABY. *wimpers* He has a list of tasks for the next few days, and once he knows his way around and has met his Mentor and got a bit more self-confidence about his surroundings, perhaps he'll feel a little bit better. Hope so. I suspect he will console himself this evening with computer games, which will make him feel more at home.

It was dark by the time I'd driven the biggish vehicle back home. Then I had "Iolanthe" stuff to worry about - we completed the auditions, and, miraculously, our cast, on Tuesday evening - and tomorrow there are more tasks and an abs class after almost a week of No Gym. Moan.

I'd kinda like a day when I could curl up with a cat and a duvet and do nothing, but it'll have to wait.

her profile is exactly as Lance's. I'm stunned :) the same smile also.

Bun has my nose! Seriously, only mine is just a bit bigger. She's lovely. Um. Not because she has my nose.

A day for just you and your cat. I hope you get it sooner rather than later.

*peers*

*ponders*

She actually does!

There's a smallness-of-the-Pop-world joke in there, somewhere... (something about [livejournal.com profile] marrymehowie being your daughter-in-law, Donna... *G*)


And driving a minibus must be old hat for you by now, Pen! I'm wishing Bun & your boy luck at school and you luck in the gym and finding a Nothing But The Cat Day soon, and wishing your cast to break a leg, heh.

Hahah, yes, we're all related some way, aren't we?

A Big Day, indeed - I hope they both find their feet swiftly and have a great time of things.

And **hugs** and *extra hours in the day* for you.

Ooh, that's quite a drastic makeover, in a very good way. I should do something similar myself!

Yesterday was my first aerobics class after a summer of no aerobics. I feel good, but DED.

You should NOT!!!

Your lovely, long hair!

(Of course, I'm a bit biased in this department, obviously. You should do whatever makes you happy, obviously ;D)

Hee, thank you! (And that's what my biased sister says, too.) But I'm just so horribly bored with it, since it's the only hairstyle I've ever had!

Ever?

Well, that would explain the boredom...but just because you want a new style doesn't mean you need to cut it- -after all, longer hair can be arranged in more ways than shorter, yes?

Yeah, I've always had long, straight, evenly cut hair, never dyed. With slightly different partings and lengths, but still. I'm so boring.

That really is a change, but it looks good.

I hope they're both settling in well.
