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.

I think the technical term is ‘whoops’.
So, I managed to stay up ’til 4:30ish, which is pretty good for swinging my bodyclock round. Distressingly the big-sheets of cardboard behind the curtains had too many holes in (or it was too sunny), so I think I’ll have to put a little more effort into stopping light ingress. But still I managed to…

Progressing
Against expectations I’ve actually done quite a lot of tidying and sorting today. I have pounced on the back bedroom with some vigour and shuffled piles of stuff into different piles of stuff, decreased the box content of the room and, in fact, started to uncover something that I believe was once a desk. I…

On waking early
So I tried to persuade my body to let me sleep in this morning; I mean, when I’m with Kathryn I can snuggle up and doze and the morning can slide away. But come 0800 my body work me up and refused to go back to sleep. Refused. By 0930 I was so fed up…

Slow, but forward.
Okay, so you know how I said I hated tidying? I do, still, hate tidying. I’ve checked :) I suspect the house will be no-where near as tidy as I’d like when Kathryn arrives – this is down to two things: 1) I hate tidy (did I mention that?) 2) There’s not really anywhere to…

Patience = 0
Before I commence this evening’s rant-a-thon I thought I ought to share with you some fun links. Lauren waved (the world) at the Retro Encabulator – which is excellent for IT geek humour; and for those of you of an automotive bent, here’s a similar video for the Turbo Encabulator. Anyhow, so, today you could…

Spick and Span
Tidying is never awesome fun; and the enormous job I’ve set myself is, quite honestly a little overwhelming; but it’ll be nice for me to have some sense of order in the house; and it’d be nice to be able to welcome Kathryn to her new home with it being in some sense vaguely clean…

The good, the bad and the faintly annoying.
This morning I woke up late; fortunately yesyerday SSN (Senior Staff Nurse) switched my shift today from a middle to a late (Kathryn, I meant to tell you last night, but got so carried away with shiny links that I forgot; sorry hon. I won’t be in until my usual after-late-shift time). But it did…

You what?!
So, I guess if I take a hot iron and a knife to this judge for being a misogynistic wanker then I only have to pay 2 grand? Because my job is *way* too busy for me to fit in community service; in fact, since I’m only paid 1/5th of the defendent’s wage can I…

Too lazy to think of a title
My local council appear to have a ‘thing’ for Speedbumps; they’re scattered liberally around Slough – it’s almost like their road-roller has a dent in the wheels. Anyhow, they’ve been building some new houses on a ‘cut through’ of mine; I use it late in the evening because this particular set of traffic lights sometimes…

There goes plan A
So, this day had a plan: – Buy petrol, drive to work. – Work. – Home. – Bank (more financial sorting, there is definite positive monetary direction happening) – Home, sort paperwork – Dinner – Continue to sort paperwork – Sleep That *was* plan A. Plan B, which was apparently what the world had in…
