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.

Ah, the joy of Adequate
So, my plasterer came back, after some cajoling, and basically the fact I wasn’t going to pay him ’til he fixed things. It’s truly sad when someone has skill, but can’t be *arsed* to do a decent job. And in my opinion, that’s how A J Contractors behaved. The job they did the first time…

There’s this point right…
…where the personality you put into something starts to cross with a real suspicious set of traits from that object, which starts to make you really feel that the object has got some kind of soul. I guess, after 37 years on this planet, my car’s collected enough quirks and fiddley bits, and having been…

Lazy Sunday
At least, the idea in my head was ‘shift, run to mom’s, collect tools, home, write xmas-cards’. In the end, when I ran home I ended up chopping wood. I was late leaving work, and I’ve brought home more tools than I meant to. It’s actually left me feeling pretty knackered. Especially given Friday night…

Slowly collecting foodstuffs
So, despite spending 90 quid at World of Tesco last week, I still spent 60 this week – and to be honest, I’m not entirely sure what I bought. There was a replacement energy saver for the one that went ‘fzzzt’; and lots of other odds and ends, some more cleaner (kitchen cleaner this time,…

Some things are scary
So, I got some shiny new builders in to quote for the work. Rather more expensive than the last one, but they can do it this weekend… Which is incredibly handy… And they’re aware that I’ll be moving in on Sunday. So, yes. The lounge comes in approximately 100 – 200 quid over budget, which…

Frustration 101
Today is my last of two days off when I am *actually* at home during the week – so I *had* hoped to get the plasterers in. But again ACE plasterers, for that is who I used have excelled themselves by not returning my calls yesterday or this morning. This is frustrating because it means:…

Normal Service Has Been Resumed
Sorry for the loss of service guys, I didn’t realise my domain expired this year, but now it’s renewed again you can expect the usual level of useless rambling from me.

Packed up…
So, I’ve been whining at my friends about going home, I think it’s 2 parts wanting to stay in Canada and 1 part not wanting to go back to my ‘room’ in hospital accomodation with my house still as un-sorted as the day I left. We’re now at what, 6 weeks? And I’m still not…

All good things come to an end
So, 2 more days; well; one and 3/4ths and then I’m back in the UK. Although I’m looking forward to working, I miss the nursing aspect of my life, the whole ‘going back to the UK’ thing doesn’t fill me with joy. Friends, yes; I’ve missed them; but I’ve felt more at home here in…

And they let you out without someone to watch you why?
I spent money again today. I have been looking at it the wrong way, incidentally. When I worked with film I normally had a couple of rolls of 36 (often worked out at 38) exposure film with me. It would be ASA200 or 400, and that was my lot. If I was desparate I would…
