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.

Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Back in the old days…
When I used to do fire training… Long, long ago… we used to have “fire hose reels”. These were enormous hosepipes, on reels, that you could – in the event of a fire – grab one end of – run to the fire and try and fight it with the full pressure of mains water.…

The main problem we faced is that while we have a place we can compost we have to keep the stuff to be composted for long periods. And…

Sunday sunday
Today I have worked. I have cleaned the house for an hour. I have not even been outside. I may have underestimated the amount of work I was giving myself when I changed jobs.

I’m not quite sure what I expected from our trip to the UK. There were the obvious things, seeing my mum and her partner; seeing my sister and her family; catching up with as many friends as we could cram in to the trip. That part was definitely a success. We managed to catch up…

Distractions
So… I fear I binge watched this: Despite knowing very little about K-Drama it’s very entertaining. Highly recommended.

There goes the luggage allowance.
So two days ago I headed down to the garage that have Rebecca to collect the diff. This is the less than 3k miles old diff that was rebuilt specially for installation. The Escort diff which was installed just before we moved over here. They are of the opinion that it was rebuilt incorrectly –…
