iPhone frustration
Dear iPhone,
Why have you become randomly incapable of matching mobile numbers with names? And why pick only a selection of relatives and good friends?
If your parents hadn't picked a fight with Google, perhaps I'd be able to find the answer there.
No love,

Messing about on boats
Mooching along the Llangollen Canal at less than two miles an hour, and my brain slows down to the same speed. Dragonflies. Something furry in the weeds. Green. Water.
No need to think or bestir myself, even to moor or cast off. Alec is a master at handling the 60ft Gaia single handed. It's a joy to watch his elegant accurate efficiency, and even ( Read more... ) -
Expanding my colleagues' linguistic horizons
Today I used the following phrases in work meetings:
"steel cage deathmatch"
"clusterfuck"
Still at work. I suspect I'll be here for a while.

Geeky work squee
I just used the phrase "the beady eye of Sauron is upon you" in a phone call to an external. Muhahahaha!

write 100 times on the board...

Being a school governor
Are any of you school governors? I've been asked to be a governor of a local special needs school. Apparently business knowledge and common sense are valuable, despite the fact I don't have kids.

Late afternoon, in Heraklion
Am avoiding FB, but LJ is OK - it doesn't eat my head.
We're in Crete. Today we went to Knossos. We saw the supposed throne of King Minos and spent time considering the dimensions of the fraternal royal behinds. My money is on Sarpedon as the likely occupier of that particular piece of furniture. I think the other two would find it a tad ( Read more... ) -
Schrödinger's Rodent update
We decided to stop being wusses and investigate. To be honest, it's a nasty pong but not overwhelmingly rank. It was a bit hard to tell when I got home last night, because Simon had lit a lot of candles, and I was going from his description ( Read more... ) -
Schrödinger's Attic-Dwelling Rodent
A hypothetical rodent hypothetically dies in your attic. You suspect the corpse is the source of a rather unpleasant pong seeping down the stairs. You can't face investigating before going on holiday tomorrow.
Do you reckon the pong would persist for longer than the two weeks you're away? -
Hair woe
My hairdresser of the past 12 years has moved to Cyprus. I am bereft, of her serialised company and wisdom as well as her skills.
How does one grow out a 20s bob, without it looking rubbish?
