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.

Knackered
So, as my best beloved pointed out to me yesterday, I do have a tendency to overdo it. As I collapsed into the bed, exhaustion washing over me I contemplated that maybe I’d gone a bit far with the garden. I’ve been trying to do the path for what seems like a while now (although…

One of those days
Not, oddly, one of those days where you wonder about whether your continued existence on the planet will ever produce anything tangible and worthwhile, or whether you are instead doomed to spend the entirety of the rest of your life looking at cat pictures on the internet*. No, today was one of those super productive…

Poor little dyson on the street
So, I was out and about earlier today, and just sat out on the street, notional ‘please help me’ sign scrawled on cardboard next to it was a Dyson DC07. We’ve been hunting for a replacement for our aged DC01 which despite still working seems to clog with startling frequency; it’s filters being rapidly replaced…

More devilishness
Today’s been a bit of a slog, really. Although quite a rewarding slog. Instead of my normal get-up -> shower -> do stuff process I decided to instead go straight out, after breakfast, into the garden and commence attempted to destroy my limbs further. After a few hours of work I was able to decide…

You’re a devil for work
When I think about myself I often think I’m a bit lazy. I’m lousy at practicing things (I’ve fallen off the guitar practicing wagon, but have plans to get back on it when my 3 day stint of garden madness is over), I am terrible at studying, the house isn’t finished but clearly it could…

And lo, she awakes
It’s been a bit quiet around here of late (she says watching the tumbleweed roll past). By which I mean, on my blog. Not generally. Not quiet in a general blogging sense. One of the problems is RSS. Since I discovered RSS feeds (quite a long time ago now), instead of my traditional approach to…

Mark Thomas, Bill Bailey, The British Library and, of course, shoes.
So, because I’m a moron, I booked tickets for Mark Thomas’s 100 Minor Acts of Dissent. This would have been an awesome idea, except for the fact that we’ve already seen that show. And a comedy show a second time is not as funny as a comedy show the first time. By a fairly long…

The Frozen Northlands
So, thanks to a very generous offer from Kathryn’s mom, we found ourself with the option of a four-star holiday in a Victorian hotel in Harrogate. Actually, there were a whole bunch of options from many places, but after much debate, Harrogate seemed the most practical and whilst it would almost certainly cost the same…

Where’s all the video?
So, those of you who are used to me are probably going ‘where are the videos with Kate running around with her new stabiliser toy’? The reason they haven’t appeared is, and it pains me to say this, that it didn’t really work.

Buying new, buying old, pondering life
So, today’s been an odd day. Odd because I bought new clothing. The number of occasions I’ve bought actually new clothing in the last few years could be counted, probably, on one hand. Socks & underwear I buy new, shoes I sometimes buy new, but really other than that it’s second hand all around. And…
