Fonking Predicament

Thats a fantastic phrase courtesy of an unspecified source. But its incredibly funny in its original confidential context.

Anyway, today was slow but my trip to London was great. I spent 5 minutes in Marylebone, then I officially got bored of the city, had lunch in a nice little place near Fleet street, and went to Surrey instead. Saw one roadkill badger, Jane Austen's house, 3 deer, Waltham's Ruins [ruins in the middle of a hill] , molehills, the queens royal academy at aldershot where harry and william are, many little hamlets, and a poky antiques shop which was MY highlight. The shop itself was an antique, and it was room upon room of bits, originally a working barnhouse. My charming tourguide had his watch stop, mysteriously in the poky shop, and we ended up in a timelock of sorts because he thought we were 2 hours forward and we ended up going for lunch when it was 10AM. I cannot illustrate to its credit, the english breakfast fry-up. Brillance with a latte before, during and after.

Randomly; How to tell a real diamond from CZ. Place a diamond face down on print. If the print shows through, its fake. If it all converges to one black point at the tip/end of the said diamond, then its probably real. It could be an artificial pressurised diamond, but not even a lab could tell the difference unless it had no impurities. In that case it is a pressurized diamond. This is the most fullproof way, due to technology advancing cosmetic jewellery, also known in victorian times as paste jewellery. Ok fine. It is obvious I did buy something to warrant this discussion.

Which leads me to conclude the cheesy clinker that diamonds are a girl's best friend, and in instances where there is doubt, imperfections weed them out from the fakes.

I had a great time in Surrey. We did spend an awful lot of time looking for pheasants, but the intelligent creatures apparently stay in the bush when it pours. With tourists.

News : New job, moving to london. Also applying for non resident status in Singapore at the end of june this year. I just finished creating an excel spreadsheet for probable expenses and might post it soon just to show everyone how I have regressed into evil.
