Yesterday I went to see The Rising with the girls from work, and we killed the time between end of work and start of film by hiding in a tiny Moroccan restaurant off Charing X Rd where the food was delicious and the lamps were for sale.

The Rising was a fabulous film and we enjoyed it thoroughly. I think even Z wouldn't have minded since the fight scenes outnumbered the dance routines.

Plus it was about the historical character, Mangal Pandey, which features in one of my favourite ever books - Zadie Smith's White Teeth.

Going into the cinema, one of the cinema ticket-people wanted to search my bag. I assented, opened the rucksack, he cast one look and saw an array of menstrual products and waved me through, obviously deciding on the strength of Tampax that I was no terrorist. Although frankly he might have considered it as evidence that I was dangerous and capable of anything.

Today's another busy day at work [although no one's been hysterical since my boss has been on leave]. I had lunch in the park and now I suspect I have sunburn on my chest.

There's a cyclist who pursues me as I walk the streets of Queens Park, dispensing goodness and useful phone numbers. He has taken to supplementing cheesy chat up lines with wolf whistling.

And this evening we're going to celebrate Z getting a multiple entry visa for France and me looking pretty by going out somewhere nice.

The state of my hair.
