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.

Good News!
Well, I think it is. Jejy is off to have welding done in a week’s time, and my catalogue of jobs to do before she went consisted of: – Service brakes and Engine – Find and fit (at least one) exterior mirror – Fit new indicator repeater to LH side – Find fault with hazard…

If my bank account had money in it, it’d be somewhat lighter
So, I went to pick up Cherry from Burwin’s – they weren’t sure that they’d fixed her problems, although she was running better… 245 quid that MOT ended up costing – new front wheel bearings (apparently they were completely shot), new fork seals, new brake MC/brake-light-switch and a free mirror (because they rock). They changed…

The good: The MZ is done and MOT’d (yay! a year of road-worthy-ness, ish) The DAF is booked for transport to the welder. I plastered the curve and the wall under the window (or alternatively, as I originally wrote, the window under the wall) yesterday. I have done much laundry and our laundry basket is…

Approval rating: High

Death of another bit of DDR History
So, those of you who’ve read this journal for a while or who know me in person probably know I’m a little bit obsessed with the DDR and with the CCCP; while I’m sensible enough not to have any belief that communism worked in any of these places (and am, disappointingly, not communist) I am…

Post of the Nights
So, half way tonight; I’m looking forward to that. The last few nights have actually been pretty good, although I realised I neglected to write that I’d put a dressing on someone last night. It’s depressing that despite actually doing a good job, the thing that’s stuck with me is that someone’s documentation is incomplete.…

Not going entirely well
So, to be fair, I didn’t sleep much last night (or today). Despite staying up until 3am my hayfever woke me up at 9:30, and I’ve not had any extra sleep since then. On the plus side, my parts for my bike arrived. On the minus side? I broke the new brake master cylinder. I’d…

Ahh, firefox, it’s been a while.
So, today I finally got around to reinstalling the laptop. It’s now running xubuntu 8.04, I think. Unfortunately, due to a bug, it takes about a week to boot which is somewhat annoying. I am so out of practice with Linux that it’s going to take me a while to dig up the enthusiasm to…

More updating
So, I found this blog  yesterday; it’s by someone who doesn’t live miles away – I actually found her hunting for a place to bulk buy oats/almonds/etc for the making of our own granola. I’ve actually decided I think I prefer my Granola to the shop bought stuff (despite the fact it was slightly overcooked).…

Posty Posty
So, today we’ve had a less lazy, but superbly unproductive day; instead of doing any of the jobs that ‘need’ doing we headed out into the hinterlands twixt Slough and Maidenhead and wandered about enjoying the beauty that is available, free of charge, to those who like to wander. We actually spent much of (or…
