‘strange’
So, the last few days have been a bit weird for me – most of my IM friends have been working loads since I came back from my mum, so I’ve kind-of been sat here going ‘hrm’ a lot. Visiting my mum is always a bit… hard. Good, but hard. I did spend quite a…

I so need a life.
I’ve got to stop hanging around chatting to people on IM instead of: – sleeping – working – going out I love them, they’re great, but I miss actually talking to people (with my voice) and seeing them… and to be honest, because most of the people I know live in other countries I’m trying…

It’s Binary Day
Today is the last day for 100,000 miles that my blue mog will display entirely binary numbers on the mileometer. Having a mileometer which only goes to 99,999.9 miles means that she rolled over 100,000 and I had the pleasure of driving my instantly low milage car for a while. Since then I’ve periodically been…

Turning out to be…
…one of those hard days. A day when I just feel vaguely and unplaceably less happy than I should / think I should / y’know? There’s no reason for me to be down. It’s probably a sign of why I want to go in for councelling – I’d stopped having days like this so much…

Points mean prizes…
To earn an entire flight to Vancouver on Air Miles, I need to earn 70,000 nectar points. I’m starting at 6,000 points. I think I may have been out by a factor of 10 somewhere(!). Doh! Anyway, I think I’ll be on about 10,000 points (or more, if I do shopping at Sainsburys) at the…

Make with the positivities
So, Just got an e-mail back from the nice and shiny people at ICBC – apparently my driving record in the UK does entitle me to some degree of discount from them. It requires a full letter on headed paper from my insurance company – but, this is definately good news. I’m waiting on one…

Number 2 in the silly poster series
Okay, those who read my journal *years* ago, might remember the AA poster. That was a result of the company I was working for closing, and me having too much time. This (clicky clicky) is a result of a discussion on the MZ Riders Messagegroup. I wish I recorded where I got the images from.…

‘s a serious question
So, Kate (no, not myself, ‘meriKate) said something to me yesterday and it’s one that’s quite a good point – it was about not underestimating the trauma and challenge of moving to a different culture – and I guess, like a lot of things, if you look at my ‘Canada’ thoughts from the outside it…

That little boundry
See, I went down to make lunch and I walked into the kitchen and the little voice that’s been in the back of my head switched from being a little voice to a full on shouting one. The kitchen needed cleaning and needed it right now. It’s no dirtier than it was last night, but…
