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.

Painting the Titanic
That’s how I felt yesterday as I popped rust-killer on to the various bits of rust I thought were worthy of the effort. Or which might not get fixed ‘properly’. Or which are a bit more than surface but less than through-and-through so might (or in some cases, do) need filler. Distressingly, it turned out…

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
I wish to inform everyone that as of today Kathryn and I are Applicant and Approved Proposed Civil Partner. Romantic, n’est pas? *bouncy bouncy* So much planning to do!

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).…
