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.

Slack
So I’ve sat here all morning, more or less, though to be fair I didn’t get home until after midnight. Interestingly the Late Late wasn’t quite as bad as I’d imagined, although it was more thanks to being a ‘floater’ (charming term ;) ), which means that basically you go where you’re needed. So while…

‘m okay!
So, my good friend Nikki rang me up after the last post, concerned that I sounded very down and wanting to check I was okay. She’s kind and thoughtful like that. So I thought I’d just say, I’m okay. It’s perhaps a healthy dose of realism time. I’ve been sticking solidly to the “the house…

Nights, without the benefit
So, tonight I’m on what I laughingly call a novelty shift. Novelty shifts were invented by our department to cover times when we’re exceptionally busy. Mostly they cover evenings and nights. There used to be one novelty shift to cover the fact our long days weren’t quite as long as doing an early and a…

BSG Finale
So, BSG has been, without doubt, my favourite series, probably ever. Well, perhaps tied with Firefly, but firefly never had the chance to grow and develop the complexity that BSG had. Firefly it was all in the back story, BSG was able to take the back story and develop it while you watched. And bring…

Another day in the dirt
Not all car stuff today; to skip the car stuff just scroll down to where it proclaims that car stuff endeth. :) So, today I shuffled the cars to get the Minor on the drive, and whipped off the ill-fitting exhaust, separated the 45 degree segment at the base of the downpipe (which I spent…

I have this terrible problem
If I don’t get what I want done, and I imagine that it’s a reasonable amount of work that I’ve set myself, I feel very negative about the things I did achieve. I feel like I should have worked on the Minor, but I know, logically, that I’ve never managed to get a decent seal…

Angst ridden noises
So, Danny rang me back shortly after I sent the e-mail to confirm the parts list, and I just ordered them. I thought I’d been exceptionally lucky getting Jejy back on the road, that’s now been retracted. 2 painfully expensive new cylinders have been ordered for her. And just the one for Vixy, who’s had…

Progress, but not in a very useful direction
So, I spent some time fitting the radio ‘properly’ to the car (there’s a bit of a limitation to how neat it was going to be without damaging the dash, and I didn’t want to do that*). The Rover cassette radio (with presets no less, thanks John!) has been fitted into the ‘standard ISO’ holder…

Impatient
I hate not doing anything when there’s stuff to do. I’ve got a minor that needs the exhaust ripping off, separating the 45degree angle from the downpipe. I’ve got a DAF which has poured it’s brakefluid out from one wheel cylinder. I’ve got another DAF which is weeping fluid out of one cylinder and pulls…

Just before I start
So, I need to ring and find out about the DAF’s cylinders, but before I start I just need to say something about final episode of the L word. WHAT THE FUCK!? (with spoilers)
