Lazing on a sunny afternoon...

[liadnan]

See, this is how being a barrister works. One minute you've been working 7AM to 8PM six days a week for what seems like forever. Next thing you know you come into the office and there is frankly buggerall to do because you are waiting on Things Happening. Well, there is stuff to do but it is neither urgent nor interesting and it's vaguely springlike and sunny in London.

So instead I spent most of the day trying to book a hotel in Athens in the summer (two nights, for the benefit of my friends who remain blissfully uncomprehending of how horrible Athens is in August and want to see the sights).

Not really sure what to do with my livejournal. I don't really feel like writing in too much detail about my private life; the interesting stuff that does happen at work I can't talk about, by definition; and I'm not really keen on using it as a kind of personal soapbox either, I prefer to do my opinionated pontificating in more interactive places: the Culture list in particular. Or the pub.

if you're concerned about people reading this, you can always lock your posts so that only people on your friends list can read it. that might give you greater freedom.

or you can just use it to keep up with what everyone else is doing. i have friends who have a journal but don't post.

Ah, Athens in August.

Joyous pit of petrol fumes, petrified pedestrians and perspiring Plaka hordes.

Noticed new addition to friends list - consider yourself added back. :-)

Thanks... was playing with the "shared interests" list and you came out top, plus had some other interests listed which I should have put on mine too, and your lj looked interesting...

My friends have never done the Greece/tourist thing, so they're all for going up the Acropolis an' all. Whereas when I go to Athens in summer these days its usually a question of heading straight for Piraeus.
I'm guessing you're Irish diplomatic corps of some kind?

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you... ;-)
