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.

So, slightly insane or complete unbridled insanity?
So, we spent a few days down at my mums, while viewings commenced on chez us in Slough. Most of the time was spent in a mixture of chilling out, doing paperwork for the new job and the agency job and attempting to coax the G-Wiz into life. Unfortunately, the G-Wiz is probably not going…

Belated ramblings
So, there’s been a fair bit going on at chez us, which I’ve not had a chance to post about, mostly due to being either incredibly tired or incredibly busy. In short, we’re moving to Bristol. Well, most likely. I managed to get a new job in the Brizzle/Bath area doing exactly what I’m doing…

Keeping me up
So, a week ago we dogsat for Nikki and Kate, and while we were there we spotted a house that we decided to have a little look at. Well, I say house. House is overstating it. We saw a building which, with some fairly substantial building work could be a fabulous place to live. We…

The 4 hour target
So, a while back, the ConDem government said they’d be getting rid of lots of health service targets. There are, of course, multiple ways to look at this. As someone pointed out to me, when they instigate one target, they don’t really know what effects it’s going to have on any other part of the…

News, as it stands
Well, in terms of updating I thought it was about time I did some. The house remains a hole, we’ve been working hard on getting it looking right for sale – and finally we overcame our fear and put up the wall paper. And I have to say, much to my amazement, it’s pretty damn…

Incredibly
Incredibly, I woke up at a sensible time this morning and despite feeling a bit like death microwaved hauled myself out of the bed just in time to say bye to my beloved as she headed off for work. Unsurprisingly despite a series of promises to myself to watch an episode of Caprica and start…

25.5 Hours and Counting
As usual, it’s the day after nights and I’m struggling through the beyond an entire day awake in the hopes of forcibly readjusting my sleep pattern. Not least because there’s huge, vast, enormous quantities of stuff to do on the house to get it ready for valuation and then sale. So after my 77+ hour…

Work
Sometimes I want to write about work. Often, actually, as I’m coming home and before I end up unburdening myself on my poor beloved I contemplate entries. Entries about pain and suffering, about joy and success, about when the team comes together, or when the team fails to work. I want to rant frustratedly about…

Today
Today I go to court in an attempt to prove that the ‘restorers’ who ‘restored’ my car in 2002 did such a lousy job on it, that they returned a car that was unsafe to be on the road. And that they knew they’d done such a lousy job on it that they carefully covered…

Funding crisis
So, unsurprisingly with the lots-of-DIY and lots-of-gardening and rental-of-storage unit, fund have hit an appauling new low. Irritatingly, this has occurred at the same time as I’m unable to top them up with agency shifts :( This is distressing, because really we want to get the house ready to sell – there’s not a lot…
