A quick game of Conflicting Signifiers this morning

I am wearing Neil's high vis jacket to cycle to work lately because it is warm and cuts down on my chances of becoming roadkill. It's fun to cycle past workmen and watch their faces as they think, 'Woman. Cor. But wait! Yellow jacket means workman. Leering wrong. Not poof or workman-fancier. But wait! Woman. Leer. No! Erk.'
Perhaps I am being too mean.

Mr Johnson is delectable

Lovely lovely Boris

I am a good person

I have not been drinking during the week, which has left me all bright eyed and whatnot. I may well go for a healthy cycle ride later. La via e bella! (Yes, I'm in the manic phase of my cycle.) Emily, when do you want me and Lilly to come and visit you? Otherwise we will spend all our money on weekends in Prague.

I am getting really stressed and upset

Rachel has a friend that she's known all of two months or so, from work, who is going to have a kid. So Rachel said to this friend that she could go through my Grandmother's house and pick out any stuff she wanted. Is it just me or would that be really upsetting to you too? I don't want some stranger poking through my grandmother's attic and taking all my family's children's books and toys. I am really wound up about this. Plus the house is now on the market Stanton and apparently there's been lots of interest. I have to go over there this weekend and pack up all her books.
