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.

More house progress
Really, this is largely for my benefit, I guess so I feel more like I’m achieving stuff. And today has been a day filled with achievement. When you say to someone, ‘I’m going to move a cast iron bath’ the first thought that comes into your mind is probably not a thoroughly pleasant day; but…

Pissy mood
I am in a pissy mood today; this is because I need to see the GP and having set my alarm for 0800 I woke up at 0200, 0430, 0630 and then 0915. *Swears at self*. I don’t even remember the alarm going off, although I must have been awake because it was switched off,…

Holes and stuff
So, it’s actually been a shockingly productive day. I’ve spent the time after this morning’s dismal start (the GP opens at 0800, not 0830, which explains why there were no appointments. Thankfully, today’s not been so hot and my hayfever less soul destroying therefore) doing variously the bike, the car, and the bathroom. The bike…

Feeling slightly aggrieved at the universe
So, there I was laying in bed this morning, endeavouring not to rub my eyes and thinking evil thoughts about pollen, and so on. And I planned out my day. It went thus: – Change brake disk, brake pads, brake light lens and switch on Cherry. Book MOT. – Get quote for oil pump on…

548 Miles
Maintaining an average speed of approximate 38 miles an hour, managing a faintly astonishing 36-40 mpg. The VIva did well; I fared less well, tired as I now am, and with incredibly sore eyes. I reached home 14.5 hours after I set out with a sink, a boiler and an oven in / on the…

Running to stay still
So I went out this morning and collected together the bits I need to fit the toilet; including some random new tools. I got cistern internals, I got an isolation valve, and lots of bits and bobs. 100 quid later and I set to on various jobs. Only it didn’t entirely go smoothly. It turns…

Mornings
So, I finally got to watch last week’s Dr Who. Bloody hell, that was a good episode, after the previous one; which was a bit of a re-hash (and not as good-er re-hash) of one from the previous series (it had nice sets, but it really missed out from being the same idea again, and…

Sleep is in my veins
So, today we might be a little disjointed, like a broken child’s doll my sentences may be rather limp and floppy, and bits may fall off unexpectedly. I am, in fact, quite tired. For quite big values of quite. In fact, extraordinary values of ‘quite’. I would be in bed, but I’m bidding on a…

Make me less tired?
I agreed to do a third night. Why did I agree to do a third night? Anyone? Oh. Yeah. Money. Someone rang in sick this morning just as I was about to leave; and my ward’s temporary manager looked pleadingly at me and said ‘Would you like to do a bank night tonight? No pressure….’.…

In case you thought I’d forgotten.
I promised dull house pics, and here, without further ado – are some dull house pics: The bathroom is proceeding according to the plans: the builders having removed the floor with astonishing rapidity are now working towards the point where they can put it back: One thing that this has revealed (apart from more, what…
