izmeinaAfter what seems like an eternity, Izzie slinks into the nasty net cafe with her measly stash of 8 silver sickles to get their special 'Tight Arse Tuesday' rates. This is all we have left till the gold galleons hit the bank vault some time tomorrow evening so apart from the odd trip to the library, the Iz will be limited to a itsie bitsie teenie weenie four hours of online time until she tops up again next Tuesday.
Yesss. It's a bit of a drop from the sixteen or so hours a week in Cyberia that we've gotten used to over the last three years or so.
It was so so strange lurking around the Lair last Saturday instead of spending the evening in the Ministry computer labs. Ended up defrosting the fridge, cleaning the kitchen cupboards and being a scary Stepford elf.
Now that we can no longer use our favorite portkey online, there's no longer any reason to lurk over there except for visiting Kirribili Cafe during the day time which has nice coffees, lovely views, and most importantly lots and lots of different newspapers.
The Izzie still has library access until 25 February but since the amazing and most fascinating single solitary copy of "The Seven Mysteries of Life" is still out on loan, the Iz just didn't bother. The library used to be the one place that you did not have to use a student number and password to access the internet from their computers but that loop hole has been closed since July 2004 so Iz has just got to get used to paying for her portkey priveleges these days.
Next week at least, will be able to get ten hours for the week and may manage just once to visit chatland since we haven't got all those horrid early shifts like tomorrow and Thursday.
Never did get around to mentioning the Friday morning meetings in our new location on the seventh floor of Police Headquarters in downtown Dursleyville. Iz did not sleep in this time and had the horrid job of chairing the meeting. So took the opportunity to wear the fluffy pink cardigan that we'd got in an op shop especially for such occasions. The Iz even found some pale pink ribbons for her straw hat.
But this week will be back to the green and resurrecting the old green hat from behind locked doors. This week, the Iz will be doing a five minute speech on the theme "If I could have lived my life differently..."
So. It's 50 minutes gone and 3h and ten minutes left till next Tuesday. So Iz better not waste any more of her preciousss online time today. Got to stretch it out and make it last.
