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.

Today is a frothy coffee day
How very dare they complain about my nursing when they didn’t take adequate care of their child. How very dare they complain about my clinical judgement on appropriate first aid when they didn’t do any first aid themselves. How very dare they criticise my choice of analgesia when it was delivered to their injured child…

This is awesome.
Look: A gasifier run ice. It makes me miss living in Bristol where I had friends nearby who would probably have been entertained and helpful in the process of building such a thing. Clearly UK legislation would make building one of these in a car somewhat difficult (ironically since WWII shots show vehicles with gasifiers…

We are a 2 Dremel* Household
Okay, so one of the Dremels is around 4,000 miles from the house, which is why we have another, second dremeloid*. This is for the sake of one bolt. But when it stops raining and I have some time, that bolt is mine! And once that’s done we can move on to swearing at the…

Defeated by one nut.
So, the plan was to do the clutch on the DAF. This is, obviously a simple job… 1) Remove the bonnet, bumper and grille 2) Detach all electrics (including the solenoid on the carb, the coil, the ….) 3) Remove the air filter 4) Remove the exhaust and heat exchangers 5) Slip out the engine…

5 hours and all I got was this lousy tarp
Now, I hate to be revolting. Well, actually I don’t give a fig whether I’m revolting or not, but I just have to say how awesome Kathryn is. She’s sweet and kind and thoughtful. She’s generous, intelligent, creative and wonderful. And today she was just so lovely; despite the temperatures of 2 degrees C (and…

Apparently it’s snowing
It’s snowing. The thermometer reports a whopping 2.1 Degrees Celcius (that’d be 35.8F) outside and we are working on the DAF. Well, right now I’m trying to find out if my toes are still attached to my feet and Kathryn is kindly making lunch. But we shall be back out DAFing in a bit. This…

Ah, drugs
So, massively overtired as I was, thankfully yesterday’s shift was in an observation ward. A proper obs ward, not like where I work. Or perhaps that’s backwards. Our obs ward is really just that, it’s clearly intended as a place to keep an eye on a few people who you can’t send home immediately but…

ARGH
I have been completely unable to get into a sensible sleep pattern again after nights. Last set of nights was bad, I presume, because I was sick and just spent most of the week asleep. This set there’s no such reason. I just can’t get to sleep. I’ve got a lot going on in my…

Bother
I was meant to be going out to lunch today, that was the plan. I worked last night especially to ensure that I’d be tired and sleep through the night and thus wake up at a sensible time. Unfortunately, my body had other ideas, I woke up at 4am, then took 2 hours to get…

Apologies for the spamming, but I’m (planning to be) busy
So, yes, sorry for the inconsiderate post-spam, but I’ve been so tired this last week that I’ve not been able to post anything. This has, of course, been annoying for me because most of the things I wanted to talk about have gone from my head. You’ve got one work related post, I think there…
