Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Options
So. Arse. That’s the word that comes to mind at the moment. Arse. We’re currently looking at options for ‘where to stay’ when we get to Bristol. Being as we need to be in Bristol for a bit and the house hasn’t sold yet, in 3 weeks time I need to move into somewhere, and…

Thoughts and Tea and Blurgh
So, as I may have mentioned earlier – I had a lie in this morning. By a lie-in I mean ’08:30′, not anything particularly exotic. Unfortunately, despite having lived in this body for 32 years I’ve still not learned that my body has a way of punishing any slight transgression of the no-lie-in-unless-you-suck-down-a-pint-of-water-at-the-same-time-or-are-ill rule. I…

Great weekend, sucks to be home.
So, we’ve had a really awesome weekend. We were planning to go to Bristol Friday night for a slightly belated birthday meal with Kate (of Nikki and Kate) – but handily, Kathryn got an interview just around lunchtime. This meant that there was no point her going to work (she’d arrive – and need to…

News from the coalface
So, stuff and things continue apace. We’ve had more viewings (‘the lounge is too small’ – we’re wondering if we made a mistake taking the second chair out of the lounge, and whether we should bring it back – but we’ll leave it until we get the feedback from yesterday’s viewing and then ask our…

Lordy lordy, I am but tired.
So, last night was one of those rare nights where I actually did my job. By which I mean, I looked after truly sick people who needed to be in hospital, and who I gave to the best of my abilities adequate care. I looked after someone who would have died in the immediate future*…

The Dead(?) Y-Sus Board
So, I’ve pulled the Y-Sus board from the Vision PTS-4241 Plasma TV – this is the presumed faulty board (the symptoms are apparently quite common: Sudden loss of vision with functional sound). Apart from the FMSD102A module (which may, or may not, be dead – and for which I’ve found a variety of companies in…

Test Spam
So, I’ve been aware that my LJ Crossposter has been double spacing all the paragraphs for no apparent reason. I’ve tried to find a reason for this and can’t, so this is a test of the new cross poster. I apologise for spamming your blogs :)

On the issue of tea
So, I can’t recall how it started. It seemed like a good idea at the time; I think it was just a pack of Twinings loose leaf tea – possibly Earl Grey – and the realisation that a nicely brewed cup of good quality leaf tea tasted much better than the stuff we got in…

More contemplation
The problem with not knowing what your plan is, and having vague notions about what your plan could be is that it leads (at least in my case) to vast amounts of pondering, introspection, and circular thought processes which lead no where in particular – and take you on a mystical journey where you wonder…

Bah
So, I’m sick. Contact with a cold-riddled Doctor (who caught it from some gunky human who came to the ED because they had… a cold) means that I’m feeling a bit crap. I feel like I’ve been ill loads this year, but that doesn’t really tally with reality, because I’ve had very few days off…
