Ah, yummy codeine
So, I got lots done yesterday; I headed to B&Q early and en-route I found someone who’d demolished a wall; thereby sourcing a lot of bricks, possibly even enough to do the path. he was quite happy for me to grab them, along with an old brabantia-style bin – which is somewhat of an improvement…

Voila, Spam
So, I decided to kill time watching ‘Fatherland’; for those of you who don’t know, Fatherland is an excellent novel which is set in a future in which Hitler won the second world war; continued extermination of the Jewish people, and in which America has a right wing president, and the Soviet Union continues to…

WARNING: Further updates are likely
So, with the exception of a few days of shifting, I’ve got the next two weeks off, and you can safely assume that whatever my intentions I will end up updating this journal – probably more than once a day on more than one day. Today you get the added benefit of deranged ramblings from…

‘Twas the day after nights, and naught was stirring
At least, not a Kate. So, yet another batch of nights over and done with; and yes, I am glad. Though they were by no means the worst set of nights; and I really mean that. I’ve had sets of nights where getting from work ot the house seemed like an unimaginably complex task because…

Saturday, belated but truly fantastic.
So, Saturday was our anniversary, and we headed to London for the day to celebrate… First up we headed to Russell Square tube station, because that’s where we first met in person. Russell square, thankfully isn’t a dingy grotty tube station; it’s one of the prettier tiled ones, where the edwardian tiles have survived well…

Two days off
So, I’ve got two days off midweek, I did this to myself so that my ‘working 50% of weekends’ actually comes out right; although I’m told some people never roster themselves to do an entire weekend. It’s okay though; I don’t want to not spend the weekend with Kathryn, but at least I get to…

It’s 2008, time to bore you all silly
You know, for those of you who read my journal (and thank you for doing so; although I post mainly for myself, it’s nice to get the odd comment) this post may be somewhat of a repeat. But, quite frankly, I care not. Every year since the dawn of time, or at least since I…

Yeah, yeah, it’s coming.
That 2k7 review; coming. I promise. So I got an e-mail from Pandora Radio, I’ve not used it as much as I should’ve (in fact, I’d forgotten about it) prompting me to go look – again. And I’m reminded why I’d put it on my list to play with. It is, in fact, awesome. By…

First 2k8 post
This should, by rights, be my review of last year. But it’s not. That is coming (so hold your metaphorical horses), but instead I bring you breaking news from the family. My mother’s got engaged. And a happy new year to you all. There endeth this broadcast.
