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.

Brrr.
It’s chilly and foggy here today, much with the chilly and much with the foggy. Theoretically I get to collect Brick from the motor engineer today; sadly the oil leak persists; it’s not a failed seal of any sort. The sump (which for those not in the know is the reservoir for oil) has a…

Meh
So, Brick’s at the engine place, who’ve now said that they won’t do the crankshaft oil seal (I suspect that they wanted lots more money to do that), so if Brick’s leaking from there then I’m stuck. He thought that the seal was replaceable from the back, but apparently he’s remembered now that you have…

Bugger
So, last night I stayed late. A patient arrived at ‘just the wrong moment’ (as they are wont to do, not that I minded, he was soooo cute (a baby, incidentally, before you think I’ve gone odd)); so I ended up leaving about 20 minutes late. When I got to Brick I was knackered, dead…

With thanks to Royal Mail
So, in the past few months the Royal Mail appear to have consumed around 30 quid of my stuff. A CD I’ve been waiting months for, and a tee-shirt I’ve been waiting rather less long for remain MIA. This high quality service is something I’ve come to expect, but it does make me start to…

What to say?
Well, I felt like I should do an update; in fact, I’ve been positively intending to do an update for several days now. The only problem is I don’t really know what to say… I’ve been working, for the most part. Work continues to produce a strange bounty consisting of a mixture of really sick…

Anyone used Be?
Was considering Be Broadband – anyone got any experiences?

Progress (at least in some areas)
So, I’ve had a to-do list on the computer for a while; I’d like to imagine that I was getting through it at great speed, but I’m not. Indeed it’s been the same list for most of the week. Or at least modifed versions. See, sadly as I’ve crossed off items from the to-do list…

Retraction
So, I thought that it was the cable at fault; I now retract my pseudo modern car parts are rubbish rant (although it stands as a general comment) because it turns out that the idiot who owned my car before me (s/idiot/cunning git) failed to put part of the clutch cable mechanism back; when I…

And winter commeth
It’s starting to get cold outside, and the ‘heating’ such as it is is something I’m becoming increasingly fond of. The gas fire in the lounge is really quite nice of an evening, and curling up beside Kathryn ‘n reading or watching telly, or a film is about the nicest way to pass an evening.…

Frustrationsville
Today’s just been one of those days; you know, one where whilst nothing goes horrendously wrong, nothing quite goes right either. I couldn’t sleep last night, and so instead of being up early I curled up with my head on Kathryn and went back to sleep this morning. The plumbing shop had the bits I…
