There are some months that contrive to make you feel lousy. Months where everything you touch seems to be a bit wrong, a bit of a struggle. This month seems to be one of them. I made a mistake in the controlled drug book at work – a write-oh, I assumed it was my attrocious…

So, at the weekend I did, indeed, complete the Commando Challenge, in a not unrespectable 2 hours. The difference between running on the flat in Slough and running up the hills in Exeter is fairly impressive. The first section of the Commando Challenge shall live in my memory as – “I’m going to die, and…

I have been having a dose of the fear, of late. Perhaps it is in part to blame for my lackadasical, prevaricatious approach to sending off my CRNBC forms. While I want to move to Canada, I want out of this dismal, depressing country, and would like to go to a country where they perhaps…

Yesterday was an amazingly productive day. Out for a run in the morning – 7 miles – as is the ‘requirement’ – before sitting down to watch Spiderman 2(.1) – which was as entertainingly excellent as I recalled. This was in preparation for the newly obtained spiderman 3 disk (DVDs have really fallen in price,…

So, on my little journey so to see my classic under restoration I saw this rather lovely 1900s house, next to a canal, and unfortunately next to an active business. It’s definitely been abandoned a good while, because I have vague recollections of seeing it about 3 years ago when I first went up there,…

So, I’ve been contemplating a lot of things, 10 miles of running / walking around yesterday with little company but my head, and yet I can’t actually remember what it was I was going to write about. Perhaps some updates on things will make me remember. Rebecca’s progressing, although she needs yet more welding, the…

So, I’ve been quite good today, the only thing I haven’t done is take the battery off my bike and charge it, something I’ll do in a minute (I say again). Something is sucking power from the bike’s battery, not a lot, but enough when she’s standing, so I’ll have to go hunt that down…

So, I went to B&Q, this I hoped would cure my ‘still feeling full’ sensation from breakfast. I seem to have been getting that a lot of late, probably because my body doesn’t like me eating then lazing around like some roman senator on the sofa. Anyhow. So, I debated light(s) (for the larder) for…

So, I’m trying to locate energy to work on the house, this would be easier if…well… if the house weren’t worth less than the money I’ve put into it. That’s pretty disheartening. To look around and think of the money that’s been poured in, and I know that had I not done that it’d be…

So I’ve been trying to persuade myself to work on the tax relief form, thing is, it was tedious finding the information the first time around, and while I may berate myself for not having kept a copy of it (although I may have, and have filed it somewhere odd), I frankly am pissed that…
