The dangers of temping and have a short memory..
As I'm walking home yesterday, I hear someone behind me shouting out, and assumed they didn't mean me. Then I hear my name, and there is a huge muscley bloke coming over saying 'Good to see you! How you doing?", taking my hand, giving me a kiss on the cheek ( Read more... ) -

Music memory
So groolover has been making posts on music and associated memories. I can’t come up with any quite as happy at the moment, but this hit me with memories as I sat at work listening to Smooth Radio (not as terrible as the name suggests, but if I never hear another radio advert again that would be just fine with me ( Read more... ) -

I’ve done a few things around the funeral in the last couple of weeks, though my LJ updating mojo has been missing once again. There was a Tom McRae gig, which was very good despite him not being too well. That immortalradical and Chris Tye did a fine gig a couple of days later, and I also saw him and Z and Jane last weekend, having been far too out of it to ( Read more... ) -
Sleep deprived and wittering
I am working in the sticks. Apparently there is one shop in the Rubery/Longbridge/Northfield area in which you can buy travelcards, and they were out of what I needed. I shall spare you a description of traipsing down the Bristol Road from place to place to see if anywhere did have them, but it was not big on the fun. Next time I want to purchase ( Read more... ) -

I have 3 weeks work coming up, starting monday. What a terribly useful and productive member of society I am. Its admin cover at a construction firm, and I went there today to do a handover and get some idea what is going on. Place seems to be a nice small firm, so I'm sure it will fine ( Read more... ) -
Birthday time
Today I turn 30. Go me! As I am an old bastard most of the time, I think hitting my 30's is going to suit me, and make it slightly more appropriate when I complain about loud music in bars and why would anyone want to go out and not be able to talk to people anyway ( Read more... ) -
TV stuff
Niall bunged us a copy of the first two episodes of The Riches, a show about a family of con men (con people?) starring Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver. Having watched the pilot, we can't really find the energy to watch the 2nd episode. Dan thinks it might be the worst hour of television he's watched recently (I don't, but we'll get to why that is ( Read more... ) -

A week has gone by, and in this house we are not at all sure where its gone, as we have spent most of it asleep. Oops. A late night when BST kicks in is quite confusing, and that confusion has bled into the rest of the week (it was Thursday before Dan got up at a sensible, not almost midday sort of time - don't ask about the unemployed person ( Read more... ) -
These legs ain't made for walking..
My legs can stop hurting anytime now. Please. I have done bugger all for ages, yet heading out of the house yesterday and today has left me very uncomfortable. Once I've been out long enough to develop a limp, I start getting pitying looks from complete strangers, which has rather taken me aback. Sympathy is good, pity not so much, and I shall ( Read more... )
