Har-dy bloody Ha Ha.
So I know I love snow, but for it to snow the night that my car is in for work; meaning that the first day I ride the motorbike I have to ride through snow; that’s taking the piss.

Sometimes I feel insanely lonely. I miss having someone to love…

C’est la [fracking cold] vie.
My beloved mog did not, in fact, pass her MOT today. She failed on 2 points – one: the handbrake managed an astonishing 6% efficiency. 6. The word ‘pathetic’ is perhaps one that we could bandy about, were we the kind of people to be bandying words about with reckless abandon. Sadly, she also failed…

Making yourself feel homesick for Canada…
So… it’s cold here. Not really Canadian cold, but cold. Bitter, is the way that Naomi described it. I travelled to work listening to AM’s Underground (aaah, those TTC Chimes); I’ve got home (it’s cold, really bloody cold), read Torontoist and now I’m watching Holmes on Homes. It’s still really good… I’ve also been watching…

Meh
So, I should be relaxing, watching The L Word after having a really good, successful party at my place. Whilst the latter part is true, windows is being phenominally annoying. Whilst my little Mac sits upstairs happily being very mac-y, and my 2000 based laptop works fairly well with the old wireless, my lounge PC…

’tis the end of another week
And I’ve got my ‘zed back; well, one of ’em. Cherry (or ‘the red one’) is back outside my house, covered by a tarpaulin (sp.). She’s not a happy bike, with a top speed of 100km/h; Dave reckons I should change the base gasket again, but the whole tedium of the job fills me with…

Another day of painting and music
So, the door frame by the front door is now painted in undercoat. Hopefully I can throw a couple of nice coats of white gloss on, so for the party I can throw the door back on quickly. It won’t shut, but it gets it out the way. Then it can stay on until I’ve…

Sometimes things talk to me
Sometimes the house talks to me; it tells me tales of it’s youth in an austere post-war Britain; it talks to me about the excitement of the 70s. Today it told me about it’s childhood; new and shiny, exciting, people moving into a new house, and it showed me something more of what it used…

At the end of the road
I’ve never lived at the end of the street; well; my parents house is, but it’s an odd end of the street – it’s a junction, with houses all around. Well, stables and houses. The only time I’ve ever been in a house that’s at the end of the street was staying with Kara –…

100% Dumbass
For the *third* time since I got this job I’ve got my shifts wrong; always with the turning up for an early when I’m not actually on. Today I went for turning up for an early after sleeping really badly – and I’m not on duty today at all. For frack’s sake. Why?! I did…
