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.

How very dare they
It’s not aging, it’s charmingly retro. Vintage, even. Grumble…If anyone’s going to insult my hospital, it’ll be me.

Oh Amy, you’re so funny.
So, Sunday I spent almost the entire day under the car. I’d scheduled two activities, plus some bonus ‘unlikely but if I have time’ ones: – Fit exhaust – Service – Check sidelight wiring – Change steering wheel – Replace bolt on seat that doesn’t fit very well – Clean windows So, that was the…

Investment in food
I find it odd how my decision about whether a food is edible includes consideration of its source. So for food from the shops my level of “it’s inedible” is different from the level for stuff we’ve grown ourselves. For example, if we had an apple and I thought I was 95% certain there was…

Okay, that’s not good.
So, I sat her down in triage. She was just over half way through her pregnancy. We discussed the reason she was in the department – abdominal pain – not exactly hugely uncommon in pregnancy. We talked about general health, which was fine, and all the other personal questions that go along with abdominal pain…

Well, fuck.
So, many years ago I ran a mailing list. I’m still friends with / in contact with quite a few people from it. Indeed, several of my closest friends came about through that list. But there were tens of people on it (it was a small list) that I’d lost contact with. Years ago I…

Advantage: Guests
So, we’ve had a couple of friends staying for the last two days. They’re over from the States and a while back asked if they could drop in sort of on their way home, before visiting a family member / London. They’d clearly heard how awesome Bristol is and wanted to visit :) Anyhow, to…

Ah, the joys of 2000’s tech.
So, our poor old media server dates from 2004ish. Although most of the hardware in it I think dates from 2003 (apart from the selection of hard disks). Last night, for reasons that have yet to be explained, the power supply circuit which feeds the upstairs and the ‘outbuilding’ tripped. I’m yet to work out…

Exhausting, Exhausted, Exhaust…
So, Amy has provided sterling service so far. Yesterday she racked up 220 almost faultless miles*. There are a number of issues, small ones but ones none-the-less…

Cross Posting
So, I know a couple of people have commented they’re not very keen on the Tumblr cross posting to LJ – not least because somewhere in the translation some posts end up being awfully long, lacking a cut, and with repeats of the same image set over and over. It’s something I’d noticed as I’d…

Quirks
There are some bits of our house that I adore; not perhaps because of any particularly valid reason, but because they just make me inexplicably happy. The porch is fairly understandable. The light (on a sunny day, unlike today) streams in through the stained glass and illuminates the hall in a rainbow of colours: It’s…
