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.

Augh (it’s one word post day)
So I checked, and there’s a bunch of CDs I ripped which have, for whatever reason, not made it onto the server. Actually, I think there’s a few that had not made it across and some which have got mixed in with the “ripped” pile. I just spent a chunk of time going through two…

I may have upset our garage.
Well, I’m not sure. I collected Chester yesterday, and he’s clearly much better. The handbrake’s no longer sticking (fitted with new cylinders, new handbrake cable and new shoes. Thankfully the drums survived) and so pulling away doesn’t feel like the car’s dragging it’s feet. However, tbh, despite it being almost a year since the last…

Some fierce good days we’ve had recently.
So, we’ve had some awesome days recently. Today for example, I spent part of the day living in the 1940/50s. I dropped off Chester for his very belated service (which has resulted in a phone call saying ‘you need a few bits’, were ‘a few bits’ actually is ‘a few bits’. I’m terribly happy about…

Well that went well
Arse. No, seriously, arse. So, for my gleeful hope yesterday that CRNNS would get back to me promptly with an assessment of my qualifications and experience, now they have I kinda wish they hadn’t. Or that I’d’ve had more than half an idea about what they’d’ve grumped about so I could fix it before hand.…

Oh Canada!
So, we are waiting. I’d say patiently, but I’m not feeling terribly patient. We’re waiting for the answer from the Nova Scotia nurse’s board about whether I can take the Canadian Registered Nurses Exam. Now, we’ve not actually been waiting that long. But I’m not generally a patient soul (that’s why I work in the…

Onwards Comrades, to our glorious digital future.
So, today, despite the sun shining (yes, really) and blue skys (I know, I should have taken advantage) I continued in the quest for compaction. Yes, the photos really are compressed down almost as small as I can make them. Negatives, contrary to best practice, are ensconced in (usually) one-entire-roll in one slot of the…

Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.
So I spent yesterday and this morning sorting though 80 billion photos. I’ve been a prolific (if not great) photographer for pretty much all of my life, and until today still had nearly all the photos I’d ever taken past my teens. As in stacks of them. As in boxes full of photographs I’d never…

The plants, the car, the horror and the job.
So we’re well into the time of year when we should have little tomato shoots sprouting and growing up towards the sky. Only we’ve not. We’ve got packets all out and sorted ready – and once I’ve warmed up again I’ll start working on planting, but as usual we did the dumb-ass thing we normally…

Housey Housey
So, I’ve had the last two days off, but I’m still trying to defeat the cold that won’t die. I’m still a little snuffelier than usual but it’s the cough that’s the killer. The cough that appears if I so much as consider going outside, and having lain in bed all night, the moment I…
