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.

There is *nothing* like a well equipped kitchen.
A big range cooker that’s a joy to use, good quality pans, nice cooking utensils, good quality ingredients… Or a trangia. Take your pick.

Squat-a-like
Well, sorta. We’re in an otherwise empty house, in which the gas heaters have been condemned and disconnected (although thankfully the hot-water heater hasn’t been condemned/disconnected!), with a pile of fan/electric heaters (and our illustrious 70’s Agni), with the permission of the owner. So we’re not actually squatting, and we have some furniture here (and…

Exhausted
So, last night Kathryn got home and had a ‘Discussion’ with the Landlord in which he listed an apparent catalogue of failures. When I got home we had a similar discussion, in which I avoided shouting at him, or hurling abuse, or screaming, or anything too bad on my side. The failures boil down to…

FTL
For-the-lose. Run in with landlord, we suddenly need to live somewhere else. Good news, I passed my first module.

Planning
So, apparently petrol went up 15% last year, roughly. That’s pretty painful, really, for those of us who’s incomes is a bit marginal at times. So, examining our possibilities we’ve come up with the following plan, which we hope to initiate on change-of-house. 1) Borrow / Fix my mum’s G-Wiz. If we can fix it,…

Searching for some positivity
Behind a cut, to save you all my whining.

All hail British customer service.
Today, it seems, for me at least, is determined to suck. I had a nice simple plan for the day. Simple, but it seems, overambitious. The plan was: spend morning reading MSc stuff, eat lunch, do some more MSc stuff, take a break and head to ‘The Mall’ at Cribbs Causeway and complete the Vodafone…

Here’s the plan:
So, the plan was simple. Drop Kathryn off at work, get materials for eggnog and cookies, pop to bocabar for a nice cup of tea / coffee (and a cake) and some warm-not-in-our-room-time, head home, chill out for a bit, collect Kathryn, make stuff, bed. The plan didn’t quite work out: Drop Kathryn off at…

Kathmas
So, yesterday was Kathmas! Or somesuch. Yesterday we celebrated Christmas, because as is often the case I’m working Christmas day (and boxing day), and this year, Kathryn’s working Christmas Eve (and boxing day). Not quite our traditional level of relaxation, sadly, due to a mistake on the shopping front we lacked a few bits for…

House/Work
One of the things I enjoy about the ED is the variety of work, I have little in the way of attention span, and it’s nice to work somewhere where I can flit around doing incredibly different things and where I get to utilise a wide range of skills. The down side of this is…
