After a mind-bogglingly busy week, I have finally got round to sorting out all the annoying things that happen after thefts and the like. But I have been pleasantly surprised this week to find out that because of the way my insurance policy works, I will stand to make a healthy profit on my sad losses Friday before last. As I bought a new phone ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention, a warm welcome to jensturgis, converter, zentithed, and boryon, whom I have been intending to add to my list for ages. I have done some pruning as well, but noone I think will actually notice. If you have been knocked off, or not put on yet, and are mortally offended, drop me a line and I shall give it some further thought. It's easy, I rarely go for friends ( Read more... )

Yay! My first bit of free afternoon in weeks (I consider afternoon to end around 7pm, so there's still about 2 hours...). I even managed a long lunch break with my lovely today, where I slunk around HMV pretending not to spend far too much money on the likes of Portishead, Massive Attack and The Flaming Lips (Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1 ( Read more... )

Two days in Cardiff, and not a sheep in sight. Back home, and the house is empty save for a hungry sounding cat... (No virgins lying around - I guess he must have finished them all off...) I haven't been here for a while, so once again forgive me if I've missed vital social occasions because nobody seems to use the telephone any more... If YOU ( Read more... )

After a long day of mostly working yesterday on three huge lever arch files full of multiple accidents that need to be valued, I managed to get to Slimes (which was quite empty, but good fun nevertheless)but had to leave early out of guilty conscience and have had to heave myself out of bed this morning to do yet more work on stuff. I've been up a ( Read more... )
