the grump up and left just after 4pm this afternoon. it will be back but for now am glad it's gone. went out for birthday drinks with miss e. despite her best efforts at keeping quiet about her birthday, it was celebrated in fine style. the young man sitting next to miss e in the bus on the way home was chatting up her little sister kt and upon discovering there was a birthday happening, he got the whole (very crowded) bus to perform a rousing 'happy birthday to you'. it was priceless.
that's enough. v.tired. need to go to sleep...
