head notes

in the lacuna a missing laptop has created, the library has become my new best friend.

and an ancient portable radio tuned into to BBC radio 3 plays all day long.

i wonder if my life will now be further sub-categorised into pre- and post- burglary.

registering for school this morning, i realised how much i prefer the school buildings quiet and devoid of students. this whole fresher's week bazaar will only give me headaches as i attempt to join societies and clubs tomorrow.

quinoa (say keen-wah) is an amazing crunchy-poppy-squidgy thing that is somewhere between millet and rice. gluten-free, high protein and gives your mouth some amazing textures - what more could i want?

postcards are apparently very trendy at the moment. but i have been sending them to those whose addresses i have had for ages, so i'm trendier than trendy. and if you give me a postal address, i will send you a postcard as and when i come across an interesting one.

i may be getting a new-old bicycle that may have both its brakes working and a smaller frame and not too rusted over as to fall into little red pieces when i try and ride it. *cross fingers* now all i have to do is get over my fear of london traffic and roundabouts.

at east street market just now. on a sign outside a carpet shop

'SALE! more drugs inside!'
