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.

Not in the brochure
As the financial year draws to a close, it is traditional for the NHS to ditch any attempt at real, long term sensible savings and go for ridiculous every penny counts savings. As a result of which it appears to be acceptable to run wards on less staff than I would deem ‘safe’. Less staff…

Shiny shiny internet
So, I was going to rant about being insanely short staffed, having sick patients and trying to cope with that while simultaneously endevouring not to treat a third year nursing student as a health care assistant because you’re so short that you can’t possibly do washes and looking after the sickies at the same time.…

Rats
No, the house hasn’t got rats, as far as I’ve noticed anyway. After yesterday’s successes, I finally got around to ringing Lucky and asking for the quote. He gave me what I long ago nicknamed a ‘go away’ quote. The architect reckoned that even if the wall that has to come down is a structural…

Lazy Sunday…Mornings
I have stuff that needs doing. Instead, I’ve watched The L Word, I’m up-to-date now, without saying anything spoilery, the telephone-tag episode is awesome; and the next two episodes are also really damn good. Since lots of people reading this (not that there *are* lots of people, but a high percentage of the few that…

I should be asleep but…
Couple of quick eclipse shots, before I kip: Hope you all enjoyed the eclipse… Sleep now.

Right back where we started
So I got the new homehub, and plugged it in, and astonishing things happened. The PC downstairs connected – and it got an IP address. All the machines could see each other. It was like magic pixie dust had been sprinkled all over my wireless connections. I was, I must admit, astonished. It all seemed…

Now you’ve made me angry…
I actually find myself really quite angry, today. Which is odd, because I had a good morning. I got most of the things I wanted to do – done. I had a nice breakfast, relaxed watched firefly. I got some letters ready to mail. My new homehub arrived – and lo, connectivity was restored in…

Some things are a little insane
I just have to share the Rototron Cornbobber with you all.

Keeping up appearances
So, the Viva continues to be a nightmare to start. Well, to be entirely honest we didn’t reach ‘starting’ today. Today we got as far as flattening the battery (which to be fair wasn’t very well charged) and starting to flatten the battery on Rebecca. After a full half hour of starting attempts I took…

And another request arrives…
So, having performed a surgical mould extraction on Brick, well, some of a surgical mould extraction I came in and was confronted by Nikki, who complained that there was only one photo of the new car online. Anyway, so I found the rust that I suspected was lurking. It’ll need fixing before the MOT, and…
