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.

Pyre of Principles
So, laying in bed waiting for sleep to come, which is a hobby of mine when I’m meant to be switching to nights, I am given lots of time to think. I stare vaguely at the pillows, the sheets, the bed head, the walls. And contemplate issues. This is not to be our house forever.…

Okay, so that took longer than expected
It’s funny, really. I mean, I knew, factually that my train in the morning left at 0945 and that my train home arrived at 2030. I knew that at each end there’s a good 45 minute walk (it’s 2 miles to the station from our house, and I’m not particularly fit). I knew that, because…

Some things are a little frustrating
So, today I thought we might make a bit of progress. Struggling as we are to get the project started, let alone finished. We have quotes for green roofing material, for a roof we can’t afford to build (at least based on the only quote we’ve got back, so far). Hell, we’ve got quotes for…

Death of the vid-cast
So, I was kind of intending to do a video podcast about our renovations to the house, but I’m sort of inclined to scrap that idea on the basis that, well, we’re not doing nearly as much as we were going to; and also without a camera person, it’s somewhat hard to do the show.…

Interesting…at least for me.
So, one of the things which has niggled at me for a long time, lurking in the back of my head, is whether I had some degree of face blindness. Why this came about is that I often have trouble picking friends out of a crowd – sometimes using clothing as cues. Frankly, I have…

Being cocky gets you a kick in the teeth.
So, having cheerfully chatted to the people at work, and indeed the plumber, about my reasonable competence with plumbing the world decided I needed a reminder as to my place in the universe. Well, more accurately, I think I was a bit cocky. So yesterday, after work, I set to on the temporary plumbing to…

Growage!
We planted these a few days ago – and lo, growage has occured! The garden….begins.

I have just discovered something I require

Injecting less negativity, err, ish.
So, I’ve been terribly negative of late. Which is funny, because when I’m with Kathryn I’m way more cheery. This is, of course, one of the reasons I love her so; when things seem unutterably crappy; when I’ve spent 200 quid I don’t have to spend on an electric car and it’s dead; when I’ve…

Deep and abiding frustration
I am not by nature a hugely patient person. I love the internet, and the instant gratification of buying online (WHEE! IT’s MINE!). I am not a huge consumer culture person, but music and film, they’re a huge part of my existence. I like to do things. I don’t get on well with waiting. It’s…
