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.

I love work, I can watch it all day
If I weren’t still slightly tediously coldy (and coughy, and going to work tomorrow) then I’d be a lot more angsty about the fact that today has mostly been spent with me doing stuff all. The auto electrician was meant to appear at 10, but instead didn’t appear until 1145; so I did a lot…

So that went well.
So, after debate and searching I ended up buying an Austin 1300 Auto. A car that doesn’t exist.

Oh lord won’t you buy me a…car.
So, Rebecca has eaten her gearbox. This is not wholly surprising because the rebuild involved a company who told me that time was a human construct that had no place in a workshop after having it for weeks and weeks on end. Finally when I threatened them with non-payment and them having a dead minor…

Best laid plans of mice and Kate
So, I’m off on an ALS (Advanced Life Support) course in June. In my usual efficient, non-prevaricatory way I’ve left doing the online portion of the course…a while. I’d vaguely noted that it said that the learning management system would be offline for maintenance for a couple of days but hadn’t really taken much notice…

Try to take a breath
So, for those of you who don’t know, I’m kinda brown. I’m a mixed race person. Asian-British. My dad was Welsh, just about (by which I mean, he was born in Wales, but frankly a less nationalistic person you could not find). My Mum’s from Sri-Lanka, but long ago ceded her Sri-Lankan citizenship because despite…

The red tide
*More sleep deprived posting* So, I seem to have finally found a way through the incredible inertia which seemed to be preventing me from actually painting the wood trim upstairs. Well, prepping and painting it. The main problem was that it seemed like an insurmountably large job. If you’ve ever looked at a 1930’s house,…

More Obsolesence
* This post is sleep deprived, my apologies for any insanity * So I finally laid my hands on a Squeezebox. Actually a Squeezebox 2*, and actually two** of them but one of them is dead (shall be taking it to see if John can poke it into submission with test equipment at some point,…

A lack of indoor commitment isn’t necessarily a bad thing
It’s a Bank Holiday here in the UK. At least, it is as I write this. This means I could have been being paid in vast lorries filled full of money had I taken it upon myself to do a shift. Thankfully, my phone stayed silent today because otherwise I’d’ve felt very bad about not…

Hey big spender
It’s been a big couple of weeks for us in some ways. So let’s start with the small change. I’ve finally got back to doing some work on the house. I ‘liquid sanded’ upstairs bannister rail. It took a not insignificant amount of time out of my day. In addition I’ve filled the nicks and…

That futzed with the plan
So, I had this simple plan for today: Get up early, take Rebecca for MOT. She passes MOT. I spend rest of day either pottering in garden or recording podcast. Actually the day went: Drive to MOT. Fail on a few minor points (no pun intended), then drive back via parts store, then grab lunch,…
