A little girl knocked on the door yesterday evening, asking if I could help her with a bird. Wondering what she meant, I followed her out into the garden and, by the side fence, there was an injured wood pigeon. He was nestled down between the fence and a bush, making it difficult to get to him, and he wasn't moving much. There was also a roving ( Read more... )

That seemed to go well enough, and that is now it it, all exams done and all assignments completed and handed in. All I have to do now is wait and see what resits I'll have to do!
Have very definately decided not to do the next year, although I've been wavering slightly all day. But no, I don't have the time.

Final exam of my HNC tomorrow, and then it'll all be over with. I'm tempted to stay on for the final year required to get the FdSc, but I've been doing this part time for 4 years now and it's starting to get annoying. Tomorrow is the Further Digital Principles exam, a subject which I am very comfortable with and yet have only been getting low ( Read more... )

I'm terrible at these things, I really am. Sometime after my last post on Livejournal, my HDD in my PC failed and I had to get a new one. This is the first time since then I've thought about Livejournal, as I've just had to reinstall Semagic onto this machine ( Read more... )

So the baby, who was due 2 weeks ago today, still hasn't arrived yet. Jane went into hospital on Monday to start the inducing process but, so far, it hasn't worked. Revised estimate from the midwife is "sometime tomorrow, hopefully.", but that's been the estimate since we got there on monday, so I'm not holding my breath. Watch this space, more ( Read more... )

So I don't need glasses to drive, so my eyes aren't that bad. This means that I'll only need one pair of glasses, as I can continue to wear my sunglasses for driving with no problems. I've been thinking, though, about when I would wear them. I don't need them for work; I don't need them to drive; I certainly don't need them to read - in fact, I'll ( Read more... )
