Just realised I haven't updated for ages - should anyone be remotely interested, here's what I've been up to.

Lots of heaving furniture around - have not got desks and shelves all set up.  Also remembered an old WH Smiths voucher someone gave me for Christmas and am now stocked up with enough stationery (folders, paperclips and the like) to last for ( Read more... )

How fab is More4?  A lot fab, that how much.

Settled down for a big old weepathon for the last two episodes of West Wing and what do you know?  There's a quiz before hand hosted by the lovely Rory Bremner (who does a terrible Leo impression by the way).  Panellists consist of Mark Oaten, LibDem MP; Arabella Weir, comedienne; some political pundit ( Read more... )

Well, I'm finally here in the office!  It's taken nearly two weeks of sweat and bruises but I've made it at last.  The angel on my shoulder won and I haven't bought any new furniture, unfortunately, making do means I've got virtually no storage space - just piles of stuff on desks and the floor.  Hey ho.  Cable spaghetti was an utter nightmare as ( Read more... )

Just spent a thrilling afternoon doing my very first bank reconciliation.  Who knew it was so damn complicated?

Of course, it was added fun this month because I only used the business account for about half of the business expenditure (whilst I was waiting for the cheque books, plastic cards, etc. to arrive).  Vowed to never use my personal account ( Read more... )

"On the wish list for later are...a better monitor - again, would ideally want a LaCie but they're fearfully expensive - another ebay job I think."

Huzzah - just picked one up on ebay for £25 (too good to miss)!  Admitedly, it's a CRT rather than a LCD (that is, big and chunky not flat screen).  Going to pick it up from Putney tomorrow.

Happy day.

Why I love YouTube.

The cast of Star Trek (TOS) sings Knights of the Round Table from Monty Python & the Holy Grail and my inner nerd explodes...

Learnt a new word today: exigencies.  Has nice nuances of necessity and circumstance - will try to find a use in everyday speech to befuddle my interlocutor...

In other news, got one coat of the ceiling done before the heat drove me downstairs - will try getting up nice and early tomorrow to get some more done before the heat really kicks in (looks ( Read more... )

I know it's a common theme but, blimey, it's rather warm at the moment isn't it?

Possibly not the best of days to be redecorating...  Definitely not a good day for slogging back from the hardware shop laden with three huge tins of paint and some pollyfiller either...  Certainly an idiotic day to be taking down 8 foot shelves by yourself.  At least I ( Read more... )

Well, it's started!  One of my favourite displacement activities is checking the web-stats for the new site and, guess what?  Yesterday saw a marked increase in traffic and a new referrer on the list: http://forum.colddeadseed.com.  Also had a couple of emails in my inbox saying nice things about m'photos of JM.  Guess the site will be doing the ( Read more... )

Another productive day, I think.  Designed a flyer for all these drama schools (sneak peek here).  It's 1/3 letter size to fit in a standard envelope.  Thoughts comments?  I'm a bit worried that Lady M is in soft focus on the left whereas the others are quite hard.  Does it look funny?  (Usual warnings about hot-linking/nicking/etc. but it's ( Read more... )
