It’s nearly 3am
Well, I think I’m getting better at this staying up before nights m’larkey. I read some of my exciting Minor Injuries book (although I’m still reading about how Nurse Practitioners need to tread a fine line between nursing and not-being-doctors) – it’s kind of scary actually. Suddenly my ‘you should’ve gone to the GP’ lecture…

Better living through cooking and socialising
We made this (Rustic Greek Pie with Mushrooms in Balsamic Vinegar (Sauce?): It tasted awesome. We made it using the cookbook bought from Costco, vegetables from our local farm shop (uh, and Sainsburys)… I can’t really say how much I love cooking with Kathryn, it’s sort of quality time, chatting, cooking, kissing, cuddling. Yeah, okay,…

An update from the mines
Work’s been suprisingly pleasant of late; perhaps everyone’e scared of Swine Flu and haven’t been coming in? Can we please keep it that way? I’ve had some odd ones though, in triage. People who’ve broken things days/weeks ago, not really in pain, slight, possible, deforimities and off to Xray they go, then we find out…

Weakness & Strength
I have always looked in skips since I was little. These intriguing spaces filled with the unwanted and disused. Once, in my youth, my dad and I came home with a complete office phone exchange, 6 phones and the receptionist’s control phone. I still have a telephone exchange operator’s desk (the metal bit, I don’t…

Contemplating a sin
So, we spent the weekend down in Brizzy with Nikki and Kate (and Pepper and Eddie); well, we stopped off en-route at my mum’s for a cup of tea and providing some much needed cheer, before ‘speeding’ off down the motorway in Vixy to Nikki’s & Kate’s patch of Bristol. It’s been a long time…

Another pseudothrills
+ Spending an evening in London with my beloved wife. + That she knows me so well and got me such an awesome birthday present. + “It’s Science! I’m experimenting!”* + Finding my motorbike gloves (both summer and winter) exactly where I thought they were**. + Her resting on me in the train on the…

Quiet Thrills
I’m not on Quiet thrills, but Kathryn is, and I voyeuristically read occasionally. There’s a few things on her friends I read over her shoulder… + Dancing with my love around the bedroom, half dressed, to gramophones. + Coming home at half-midnight and finding she’d stayed up to see me.

A beautiful day to travel at 50.
So, a less dull post, I hope, for y’all. But first a note from our (wish they were) sponsors. I can’t say that my knee is perfect after going running. It’s mildly achy, but nothing undealable with. Before, when I wore trainers when I went running I’d come back limping like wounded animal. With my…

Options
A dull car post follows, but I’m kind of writing down my option so I have an idea what to do.

Ringless Wonder
I can’t believe it, but I think the rings have failed on Jejy. She’s not too bad at just-off-idle, but at the moment, you floor it to go somewhere and you get that blue-haze behind. I can’t believe it because the frigging rings failed on the Viva too… Kathryn’s DAF (Vixy) was being a bit…
