Re-entry into the Duckarchy

dynamite_ladyToday's task list is considerably more pleasant than some of the last few! (Friday morning - search out page references for the cover letter my examiners need - realised I'd accidentally deleted something that I'd referred to in it, and had to go in the outtakes folder and put those sentences back in then kill 50-odd words from somewhere else - a word was deployed which rhymes with 'duck', and it had nothing to do with what fire engines are called on the far side of the Atlantic) Nonetheless, it's taking me a while to get into it. Getting used to living on two floors and having to make a conscious effort to locate my toothbrush consumed most of the time I've been here so far.
What Lisey needs to kick her own arse to do and you are all welcome to remind her of if you catch her pissing around online at any point this afternoon/evening:
-Wrap Nottingham presents/write cards (the latter can be done on the train if necessary)
-Get all three copies of thesis in the same bag with some kind of waterproofing
-Pack night things
-Make packed lunch because I'd do better getting a drink of unicorn piss than vegan food on campus
-Facebook/gchat/skype with Ducki when he's at his office (he has our backup computer and internet dongle at home, both are on the slow side so he isn't keen on doing these things there)
-Have a bath. I know former colleagues are used to me being a skanky arsebeast from hell, but if I only see them once a year they deserve the less arsebeasty version. Locate the wherewithal to get vaguely clean then dry afterwards BEFORE removing so much as a sock.
-Work on vegan guide.
-Watch the last two episodes of This is England '88. (can't do both at once without a lot of fuss because my laptop battery has a lifespan of about 15 minutes from fully charged)
