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.

Post Spam: More thoughts
So, with me taking the DAF more days than not last week I had plenty of time for contemplation on my journeys – the DAF having no working Radio (she came with one, it just, somewhat unfortunately, died). The Canada plan had been troubling me not because I’d any less desire to do it, but…

Post Spam: Frustration
So I was booked on an ALS course, it’s one of the things missing from my repertoire. I’m trauma trained, ILS trained and so forth, but I’ve not got Critical Care or ALS. They’re the two things I’d really like to have got on my CV. I got on the ALS course by dint of…

Post Spam: post nights
So, I spent much of the week with this vague intention that I’d make a post. It started early in the week when, as one of the nurses trained to take the head during log rolls (having done the trauma course), I put gloves and an apron on and we log-rolled this chap to get…

I’ve done it again
I don’t know if it’s the nights, or the terrible habit of not drinking any water, or the contact with sick people when I’m exhausted, but I’m sick again. This is ridiculous. I went through a whole year without being sick, more or less, and now every flipping time I do nights I get sick.…

It’s snowing (yeah, like that’s news :) )
So, apparently it’s the most snow the south’s seen for 18 years. It certainly feels that way, with 3 or 4 inches kicking around the place when I got up, and it’s been snowing on and off (quite reasonable amounts of snow, too) all day. It is the-pretty. We went out for a wander down…

Random and Waffley Prenights Post
So, it’s that time again – and it’s going to be happening pretty frequently over the next couple of months, it’s time for Kate to switch her body clock around to nights. The advantage of this, and there are few advantages* is that I get to see this:

Amazingly, I’m not working on the car
It’s Sunday, it’s cold out, and guess what. I’m inside! Inside! I can feel all my limbs, my peripheries are not the temperature of something you’d normally drop in a cocktail, and I can’t see my breath. The lights fading and I’m not struggling to put in bolts in the half-light. The minor has an…

There’s no time like tomorrow (or yesterday)…
So, yesterday, as the sun blazed (well, in winter-terms) and the clear blue sky sat above my head I spent the day working on the laptops. They’re both now working, and shall both be photographed and whisked onto e-bay (along with my mum’s old pashley trike, in need of some renovation, but she’s got a…

Moop
So yesterday, after getting very down and frustrated I finally sat down and spent the afternoon fixing laptops. The G3/Wallstreet now has a 6Gig Hdd, and the G3/Clamshell now sports an 80 gig drive *and* a fixed power connector (the soldered joint had broken). I thought the wallstreet was a pig to take apart, but…

Unexpected days off
So, yesterday we made vegetable jalouise, or some such. It required approximately a packet and a half of butter (about 3 sticks, I think). 2 and a bit sticks in the puff pastry (home made), and a goodly chunk to fry the veggies in. On top of which it contained milk. It was delicious, and…
