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 know I’ve said it before
I know on this blog I’ve ranted and raved about the destruction of the NHS, but it appears the final plank is in place. Whilst the legislation passed a while back to allow private companies to become NHS providers, i.e. opening the door to privatising the NHS, the regulations that were yet to be passed…

Wish her luck
So because the Volvo has decided it needs a new part (small, difficult to obtain) I decided to run Rebecca to the MOT centre today. The journey there went entirely smoothly until I got lost… and then Rebecca decided to stop. She stopped outside a random bloke’s house who seemed under the opinion that he…

Onwards into a warm arsed future
So, I spent some more time with my minor today… Having stripped the dashboard down I was able to complete fitting of the heater more easily, although I had to do hideous, hideous things to the ‘footwell’ setting on the passenger side to get it to fit with the new heater matrix, which saddens me,…

Taxing
So I got my tax return / self assessment back and nearly had a quiet heart attack. It worked out that I owed £2000 – minus change – for 2 of the last few years. I ate my lunch in solemn consideration of this fact before ringing them and preparing to say “I don’t have…

She Riiiiiides (again)
I know, I know, she’s riiiiiiiiided a few times in her many years in my ownership, but today, following some help from my awesome friend Nikki (who kindly put aside her EV journalism for some of the day to come help) Rebecca is sporting a ‘new’ diff and actually, for the first time in months…

Hey wall, how attractive you are *splutch*
So there’s a point after my night shifts when I run into a wall. Usually a fairly solid wall of tiredness. I’ve been a good girl so far – although I’ve watched a fair bit of TV (The Americans) I’ve also emptied and reloaded the dishwasher, hoovered the kitchen floor, taken out the recycling, taken…

Ah, the tradition returns
Post nights. Sleep deprived. That must mean it’s time for me to write a post. So, tomorrow is ‘car day’. Hopefully between tomorrow and wednesday Rebecca can be returned to a roadworthy state (if not an MOT’d state, and she may still need a new battery, I’m not quite sure what state that battery is…

Moggie stuff
So, despite having not made any more progress on the house (we have narrowed our selection of colours on paint, so I need to go and buy some, but I keep putting it off, because I’d like to do the woodwork first, and that means getting the minor sorted and back together, which means, ideally,…

Gardening is definitely tiring
So, today I’ve been a busy little bee. In fact, this whole weekend has been nicely busy although I’ve not had a chance to go and see anyone (which is a shame). Yesterday was spent on the Dead Bug Jumping podcast (not out until the 24th, but you could all subscribe… although, actually, there’s been…

They seem to have discovered my weakness
Vinyl albums that come with digital downloads. Gatefold ‘limited’ editions, with high quality ‘audiophile’ vinyl and a free download that I can stick on the media server for casual listening. They’re everywhere. I keep seeing them. And then my bank account runs and hides. And I whimper, and try and restrain myself from buying things…
