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.

Ah, public transport
It appears Kathryn’s been delayed, so as I fill time waiting for her to arrive… From the BBC news site, they’ve clearly employed some specialists in stating the obvious: BBC weather forecaster Kirsty McCabe said: “We have had some quite extraordinary rainfall.” Well, I never. Really? It’s unusual to have landslides and have our towns…

It’s been raining
So, I had one of the most surreal mornings in the ED that I’ve ever had. From kicking out the two patients who were there when I arrived (at 0700) until 1100 I didn’t see a patient. I was then, going to rant about the fact that there’s this one nurse at work who while…

Dolls in pram ≠Brick
So, today was a bit insane. At least, I thought it was insane. I’m not sure why, but the nurse in charge decided I should be 1st in in Resus. This was actually good, in a lot of ways; because I much more enjoy and am much better when I’m thrown in at the deep…

Demonstrable progression
So, I mentioned the oil leak, but I didn’t mention the coolant. The coolant in the Viva appears to be made by a careful process of combining iron oxide and stale water, and then leaving it standing for; say; 5 or 10 years. This is obviously less than ideal. i have, in fact, since I…

I must have been busy
I thought to myself, it’s a while since I’ve updated; I’ve been reading but for the most part been too busy or too tired (or most commonly both) to get around to actually updating. Thing is, my life has become insanely normal. I go to work (knackering, but exactly what I want to do); I…

Patient’s buying me underwear…
Well, indirectly. So I went in to be a good little consumer today, and I spent the voucher that the nice patient gave (lots of staff) on my old ward; I now have two new bras which, unlike my other white bras, are actually white; and unlike all my other bras are not yet misshapen…

There’s good news and uh, some bad.
So, the good news is that I’ve started making, albeit small, inroads into the chaos in my endeavour to make the house bearable when Kathryn comes back. It’s hardly be welcoming if it still had a Kate-sized hole on the sofa where I’ve been sitting surrounded by bills. I’ve even cleaned the stairs – it…

Less imagination now required
With a substantial amount of effort there is now about 50% coverage of tiles. I remain terrified that they will crack and disintegrate as soon as I walk on ’em. But that won’t be ’til tomorrow. However, the result is that my back wants to kill me. It really does. I think it may have…

On the dangers of prevarication
But first, some news. Wow, those US lesbians with their gangs, and their guns… soon there’ll be no men left…. what do you mean it’s entirely made up? Anyhow, on to the topic de jour, prevarication. I got Brick serviced by a very nice garage who I’m actually planning to use again to sort out…

Day 1000 of Seven Million
Or at least, sometimes it feels that way as I plod on working on the house. Anyhow; status is thus: – Finally finish off internal bathroom plumbing….postponed until the floor’s down. Although I did attached the last of the pipes for the sink; so when the brackets are done I can pop that up and…
