Empty space
Those of you who’ve moved houses a few times and had more than one or two relationships may be able to empathise more with this than those who haven’t, or maybe it’s just me. But there comes a time, in packing a house, in packing a life away, when suddenly you find yourself packing away…

A pagoda of electric bikes
So I spent most of the day helping Nikki and Kate with their BeVOB thing (Bristol Electric Vehicle Owners…err. Um, yeah. Not sure *exactly* what it stands for right at this moment) – mostly I was filming, but periodically people asked questions, and as the day wore on I even started to know what the…

Before I go, I should come clean…
Rachel, I embedded Tetris in your kitchen.

Warranty Void If….oh bollocks
So, the Dell had begun to get very sick. The screen would alternately flicker and go bright white, the casing had cracked and it was clear that it wouldn’t last the trip to Canada; so given the impending move to places new I decided it was time to fix it. I may have voided the…

Alone in time and space…
So, I got my degree results. 2:2. Not really happy about it, but nor terribly upset. Slightly frustrated’s all, I’m not quite sure how I drifted from a 1st to a 2:2, but I can’t say as I ever felt like I understood what they wanted from essays, so… Anyway, this is just wrong. So…

Corraling chaos. I hope.
So, talk about different days. Yesterday was a disaster, almost completely and entirely. I went out this morning to fix my car and found that that wasn’t going to happen. The starter has, indeed, given it’s last turn – at least until it’s been stripped and rebuilt. After whining and deliberating, I opted to take…

Today could have gone better…
So I set off this morning, it was a lovely day and the car was purring up the motorway. I approached Slough and pulled off the motorway; finding a side road I pulled over to grab my directions, and having found they weren’t obviously in the top of the bag, two quick thoughts flitted through…

A-lurgies
I dunno what it is about allergies that make me feel so wretched. I think it’s the futility of it. At least, if you’ve got a cold you know your body is fighting to get rid of the cold, but allergies it’s pure unadulterated stupidity on the part of your body’s immune system. “Oooh, I…

First day blues
So, today’s the first day on my own again; I know I got used to it when Lauren was working away from home, and I’ve actually been tentatively looking forward to it; having a place of my own; but the first ‘chunk’ of time is always a bit hard. Especially since I spent last night…

Okay, I am tired.
I’ve got a night shift tonight, I did however clean the kitchen today. Although I stopped about 1600 after thinking “this is a fucking stupid thing to do you daft mare” – specifically cleaning when I was alreayd tired *before* doing a night shift. It’s not the work of a genius. On the plus side…
