I could cry.
I could cry with frustration. Brick won’t start. The bloke I bought the ignition parts from went on holiday; and came back a few days ago – but the parts aren’t here yet; so I’m still running on a very dodgy points ignition. Yesterday the car started first time every time (there were several places…

Possibly I have 4/5ths of a new job
Um, well. Not to jinx it, it’s only a possibility; but I’ve been pre-offered a 4-day a week temporary contract in the ED at St Fred’s Hospital for the Clinically Unwell. The job’s very existence needs confirming, so it’s all floaty in the air. But hell, I made it through the interview and I got…

Home again
So, I’m all interviewed. I think it went okay, hopefully I should hear today whether I’ve got the job(s) – there are apparently some temporary contracts going – which leads me to an interesting question – do I go for a temporary job in the ED? I suspect I do – depending on how long…

I didn’t know where my life would take me next.
I forgot to post on Snapshot hunter this week; it was meant to be this image – but I often forget which day I need to post things by. The most annoying thing is the two times I’ve forgotten I’ve had really good shots. Although I wasn’t 100% decided I’d only uploaded this one for…

Survey doojit From (and created by) Kathryn…
What makes you feel… Happy? Spending time with someone I care about. Good music. Both of these have the ability to raise my spirits. Sad? Thinking about my dad, and his illness. Excited? New creative input. A new song, film, book, comic, picture – anything can get me terribly excited. I’m also a car/bike geek…

Building, Norwich and so on…
So, building work progresses apace; well, a-limp is probably more accurate; however there are distinct progress signs, and a feeling of positivity descended (until today when I realised I’d have to pay to get someone to wire the kitchen, which is going to be ‘spensive, ‘cos I suspect I need an RCD unit instead of…

Abandoned Norfolk
So, while wandering with my girlfriend we came across pseudo abandonment. It’s odd, because the adjoining buildings are part of an active university faculty, but these buildings, which one presumes are simply completely surplus to requirements are clearly in severe disrepair. There’s a sign up on one for planning permission to convert it into a…

Flit-tastic
Normally I’m pretty good at concentrating. I’ll sit and read entire books cover to cover given the opportunity. Most of the time I’m happy to read from page 1 to page n of a (research) paper without too much hastle. Good days, I can read several papers in a row. Magazines tend to annoy me…

Answerphones…
I have 5 things to do this morning, well, 6 since one got split into two separate tasks by me forgetting to do part of it. Of these 2 require speaking to other people on a telephonic device. Both of these people appear to have answerphones. Answerphones which are on whenever I ring – my…
