Uh. A guy from Eon, I think, just knocked on the door and I opened it thinking it was my parents who'd forgotten someone (they've gone to meet some of my dad's workmites down the pub). And he spouted something about wanting to know if we're happy with our energy or something. I'm not really sure. And when I handwaved it off with "You'll need to speak to my dad! Sorry!" he asked if he could come back Monday. Uh. And then we had a conversation about ish as a measurement of time.

It. Is. Freezing. I stood at the door for literally thirty seconds and now my feet are chilled through. What can be so important about making more money that you have your employees out at night, in the dark, in freezing weather? Seriously.

That is, assuming he does work for Eon and isn't an axe murderer who was scouting the house to see if anyone was home. Uh. If I don't post tomorrow, be worried okay? I don't think axe murderers would stop to chat about the use of ish and whether there's a difference between metric and imperial ish. I hope.

I'm staring blankly at different websites with prices of flights to Australia. £717 is the cheapest I've found but I've never heard of the airline and I can fly on Emirates, which was recommended to me by several different people, for £785.90 on a variety of days. Which seems okay. Actually it's just occurred to me that I'm looking at coming back on Friday June 19th but Wimbledon starts June 22nd, so maybe I should make it a few days earlier. I don't even know if I have enough money for that long anyway. I've totally not planned this trip like I should've done months ago.

For once in my life, I'd like some actual motivation. Soon, please. Otherwise I'm going to be getting to Australia without a clue or worse, not getting there at all. -_-

So what was the conclusion about ish?

That it was the measurement for a busy modern age and didn't need to be metric or imperial, because it was the next stage of evolution in time management. I think. It was a very random conversation. ^_^

*giggles* Random convos are the most fun.

Ish can also be applied to all sorts of measurement... length, weight, sound, feel... it's very descriptive. *nods* An all purpose word.

Which airline?

Etihad? Wikipedia (*hearts on it*) says they only started a few years ago and are growing pretty fast. It's just that so many people have raved to me about Emirates, even my dad who's usually oblivious to comfort. :)
