Insurance whinge.
Well here I am, back in Harden. I haven't been doing very much. Mostly just making use of a garden, which is still an enviable luxury for now. Then again, I'm already a bit bored. I didn't even bring my laptop so I'm using my old one, and I've forgotten just how slowwww it is. Which isn't helping my patience ( Read more... ) -
Mmm, apple and pecan muffin.
I am currently in Cafe Nero, in a branch which I didn't even know existed until an hour ago.
Even though I have absolutely nothing that I actually need to buy, I still seem intent on spending absolutely everything I have in the bank. I've bought some latte glasses in Lakeland, although in fairness I did want those. However, I really don't need a ( Read more... ) -
The first month (and a bit).
Taras is jabbing me metaphorically in the ribs to write an update. So I shall.
So, where do I start? Well, the job has been going rather well. It's in a really nice office - a sort of cross between Salts Mill and the Dragons' Den set. Upon my arrival on the first day, my boss Trevor proudly bestowed me with a brand new iMac and an iPhone 4. I ( Read more... ) -

I have internet! Finally!
Big update to follow. Very big. -
1,100-word update. Yum.
Time for an update, I think. And top of the agenda is this: I have a job ( Read more... ) -
Another potential waste of time.
In my quest to find employment, I've joined LinkedIn which, although seemingly quite popular, I have never heard of before in my life. So I filled out all of the blurb, sounding just as ridiculous and insincere as all job applications do, and had it scan my Gmail for other users. It only picked up a couple of Radio 1 publicists, who I doubt can be ( Read more... ) -
Another London trip.
My laptop is pretty much exactly one year old now, and it's roaring away like a jet engine sat on my desk. My previous pride and joy, a Dell which lasted three years and never really broke down, used to be like a radiator - it would literally warm a room up. I thought this new one would be quieter and cooler, but it's been worse. It's lovely, but I ( Read more... ) -
General miscellany.
You would have thought, would you not, that if I had so much free time on my hands I would be writing on LiveJournal constantly, in order to fill the time. I would have, too ( Read more... ) -
London calling
So, once again, I have completely ignored LiveJournal for god knows how long. It's pretty much a tradition now that I only update whilst travelling. Usually that's on my BlackBerry but, for the first time ever, I have boarded a train with working wifi. I feel so blessed that I could kiss the person opposite me, although, looking at him, I wouldn't ( Read more... ) -
Big pause, big update.
I haven't actually updated this since early June, and I'm not even sure why or how. But here's the last three months compressed into a tin of processed goodness ( Read more... )
