Today I have been fieldwalking. In a hailstorm. Who'd be an archaeologist?!

My weekend this week may have only been 1 day long but I think I've spent it wisely! Got back from Buxton about 5 after a fairly busy and useful finds day event. Opened a bottle of mead whilst cooking curry and proceeded to drink said bottle, plus a couple of glasses of ginger wine, while watching Black Books, eating and then getting ready to go ( Read more... )

Ooh, very tired and very busy =( By the end of the Finds Day at Buxton tomorrow I will have done 46 hours this week *sigh* Still, I will have Wildside to cheer me up afterwards!

Drove to work this morning and was thinking about the phenomenon of speeding. I always try and stick to the speed limit, but people are constantly zooming past me when I'm ( Read more... )

Still, new shoes make Anja grin and it was payday on Monday... =) 

Yep, we got woken up at 1:00 by the bed shaking violently around. I am ashamed to say that I woke up and yelped but Richard did too so it's not quite so embarrassing!

All in all a fairly good day, rounded off with a lovely ( Read more... )

Feeling slightly better today. Less stiff neck/achy joints but more sneezy/snuffly/coughy. However, also more alert, which makes all the difference. Slept late, had a shower, spent the morning on the sofa watching Hornblower and then even felt well enough to go all the way to the Co-op for supplies! Ended up spending lots of money on random goodies ( Read more... )

Are there any humane and legal ways to make next door's dog shut the fuck up while I'm at home in bed trying to sleep coz I feel like shite?! Was considering posting some drugged meat through the letterbox to make it go to sleep but that seems like too much effort ( Read more... )

Today I feel crappy. I think I need to curl up on the sofa with hot honey & lemon and Ioan Gruffudd on the telly...
