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.

Faith Based Process
“It will be ready in three days” (Following on from 6-8 weeks… which when I e-mailed about last week I was told that it was ‘ready for review’ and I should get it within the 6-8 weeks, never mind that we were nearing the end of that period. Indeed, today, on the phone I was…

Not that I want to be critical
But the phrase “That should have happened” and “Oh, it should be ready” followed by lots of sighing, it’s not exactly something that inspires confidence in the very expensive service that I paid for in the US. Then the “I can’t get in touch with the person allocated this job, could you ring back in…

take a breath
So, it’s time for a brief pause. But only a brief one. Despite the fact that I’ve put in solid entire days of work, last night working until 1030 with Kathryn to get the doors back on, and handles attached to the doors, I’m finding it hard to ‘rest’ today. To be fair, the morning…

Pretty in the pictures
So, today they come around to photograph the house. Of course, it’s a grey, miserable day outside. And despite almost total exhaustion I’m going to carry on tidying up. I’ve got two doorhandles to attach and then I should be done, at least on the door-handle-attaching front. I’d like to do a run to the…

God damn it
So, I had this ridiculously optimistic hope about house value. The first person who came pitched our house value at pretty much where I thought it was. The second, a bit higher – ten to fifteen k higher. That’d be amazing – and was kinda where I’d had optimistic hopes of getting to. Then the…

Frantic Frantic Frantic. Stop.
Today they’re coming to value the house. By ‘they’ I mean a gang of three different estate agents. I have a massive list of questions to ask and in the last few days Kathryn and I have done an awesome amount of work on the house and garden. It’s not finished, which leaves me slightly…

Week-ending
So, we popped to see my mum this weekend. Not many of those trips left, which makes me sad. I’m really going to miss my mum, but she has now got a tablet with skype and a front facing camera. So ra. Her exhibition is over, she sold one painting. Sadly Lisekard is, as she…

Tiny minds
It’s a small thing really, tiny when you think about it. But it makes me very happy. The light switch in the porch is the very last switch left hanging out of the wall waiting for me to finish painting. I say is. Was. Ta Da! I know it’s a tiny thing, but it feels…

Yay/Boo
Yay – I picked up a new video capture device. Its output looks way better than that of the cheap ebay one (this is also a cheap ebay one, but in this case it’s a branded one second hand, rather than an unbranded new one). It also manages vhold on my VHS machine producing a…
