She Rocks!
So, for once I’m not talking about my girlfriend; although she does also verily rock. Today’s been a bit of a struggle; having seen my mum yesterday we got to bed not late, but later than normal (we went to see a bollywood film in Sloughs amazing deserted cinema, more on that later), I got…

Poot
So, my calculations on the bath; wrong… I’m not deeply upset, it’s more of a ‘how do I get around this’ issue. The cold water and hot water pipes are approximately 7mm out of line with the taps. However, with some wiggling I’d got the cold one close enough to do up – and made…

Later today I shall have to go and push it off the private land on which it is stuck; broken down, and dump it unceremoniously on some pavement. I know I’m overtired…

There are advantages…
Being able to do work on your own car, because it’s a classic and thus nice and simple does come with certain advantages. While I struggle unevenly against the reliabilty of modern ‘equivalent’ parts, when I can obtain them (which isn’t always) at a pinch I can fit them myself. So the dead alternator whilst…

Lack of being in the mood
So, todays been one of those days when I’ve just not really felt in the mood. I gave in and replaced the electric radiator in the lounge; the panel one I’d borrowed from my brother in law. It’s been leaking oil gradually and I got fed up of that – and suspected that it’s efficiency…

late night ponderance
See, nights. I always try and swing my body round to night shifts by staying up insanely late the night before; thus allowing me to sleep late into the day before my night shift. That’s the *idea* anyhow. Which means staying up late at night, which means pondering and thoughts and kind of wondering about…
