Now, apart from the inclusion of Shakira, what bothers you about this list? I'll tell you what bothered me when I realised it - the heavy inclusion of gansta rap. WTF am I doing? I'm a middle class white girl living in rural Australia, not a booty shaker from the ghetto. I don't have an affinity with the lyrics (apart from being busted with a cap in the ass by some homies for entering their cripp uninvited, but whatevs), I especially don't like that the music promotes violence and suggests the objectification of women. But I really really do like listening to it when I'm walking. And doing the housework.

It's a mystery.

Walked for with Lucy and Pom last night, we went down and around the lake, and home again. Took us 80 minutes and I was absolutely knackered when I got back. Lucy was hot and bothered also, but alleviated this by plonking herself on the sprinkler, which was very cute. I'll post the photos at a later stage.

Also enrolled for Uni yesterday, which was exciting. Wasn't so excited when I was advised that the course doesn't offer any lectures or tutorials outside of business hours. Holy feck. So I tentatively enrolled in two, literature and psychology, before slinking back into the office and explaining my dilemma. The course requires me to be out of the office for 5 paid hours per week, and I've proposed to make up this time by starting an hour earlier each morning. This works for me of course, because Pom starts work at 6am and so getting up and to the office earlier isn't a problem. In fact, having an entire hour of time without the distraction of the phone or clients is quite a enticing idea, however it is in the hands of the Gods (we call them partners) as to whether they allow it. Really, I can't see why it would pose too much of a problem, but then my thinking isn't entirely unbiased.

Fingers crossed.
