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.

Today’s progress (so far)
From the list: – Finally finish off internal bathroom plumbing; I know I keep saying it’s more or less finished, and it is, it’s just fiddly jobs left. That’s the problem though; they’re fiddly, like, the pipework for the bath taps – I need to know the height of the taps… And the cistern valve.…

New Semi-regular feature…
“Things I have found dead in my garden” Following on from the dead magpie, the dead unknown bird (that’d fallen down the chimney breast and is now partially mixed in with the sand and hardcore forming the little section of path I laid) we now have the dead rat/mouse (I suspect it was a big…

Mild frustration
So, the very nice people where I used to work gave me rather a nice gift card from HMV to spend money. So today, after listening to more Lucky Soul and feeing faintly Meh I decided to collar that gift card, log on to HMV.com and spend spend speee… oh. It turns out that you…

Um, yeah, this Journal thing.
See, thing is I have to avoid ranting. I want to rant, sometimes. Like when I came home from work having looked after the person with back pain that radiated around to the centre of their chest… they’d been to see the GP with this pain, and he’d said he’d check it out at their…

Random thoughts
So, ‘m off to work in about 10 minutes; I’ve got to find the place that my training course is tomorrow before I go to work so hopefully 5 minutes’ll be long enough. My random thought is that when I started this project (the house), I made a stupid promise to myself; that I’d not…

Frack me, it didn’t leak.
That’s not to say it won’t start leaking in the future. But at this moment… *goes to check again* the only thing that’s leaking is one of the compression isolation valves which I threw on to test whether the pipes leaked. I am astonished. I rock. My house is, however, now home to a hideous…

Today shall be declared ‘a good day’
So, work was tiring and I am waiting for my bed to welcome me into it’s warm fluffy duvetlicious folds, but until that becomes a reasonable thing for me to do (reasonable in the sense of, oh-christ-I-need-to-sleep-right-now-but-it’s-way-too-early-so-I-shall-wait) I’m hanging around. Which mean that I checked e-mail and discovered that a world of awesome has been…

Posty posty
First up; let’s get some links out of the way. I’ve been meaning to share these and it’s meant my browser has several million tabs open which I’m not actually using. First up, I wish they did this teeshirt in Red or Brown *and* skinny / girl’s fit. The yellow – which is the only…

If a change is as good as a rest, why am I tired?
So, today – in short form, just because I’m currently that kind of tired where a sensible word order doesn’t always come naturally. – Took keys for trailer back (drove van) – Drove van back (they failed to notice the faint odour of dog vomit, although it’d more or less gone with the gallon of…

Advice required (warning, grim).
So, in my back garden there’s a big tub-o-rain water. A barrel if you will. A big 20 (maybe 40?) gallon drum. It has no lid on it. I’ve always thought that when the shed was done, I would use the run off from that (and maybe arrange the guttering so it caught some of…
