Two weeks off and I’m like a kid on the last day of the holidays. Meh. I think I need another holiday now. . . still, at least I’m going back on a Thursday. It’s a standing policy for me to never...


Voted Remain, but once the gap had closed to 50/50 with a week or so to go, I always thought that the polls would underestimate the final turnout for Brexit due to people who were voting Leave bu...


More tired than usual. This month is shooting past, and it feels a lot like I’m treading water at work. I do have two weeks off in July, which will be nice. Other than that, things are just drift...


. . . after eight years, my little car finally bit the dust and we had to old yella’ it. I pick up my new car next weekend. Since I do naff-all mileage in it, I’m getting a city-car. No tax, a...


Woo. Will find out what rating I have achieved in May. And there will be little to no rejoicing because if I’ve got anything other than the middling rating that I expect it will be a major surpri...


. . . and you can practically hear the weeds starting to grow. One of the things about being all domesticated now is that I have a garden. This garden hates me. Everything in it hates me. The r...


It’s almost March. Work feels like I’m tap dancing on quicksand. Technically I’m on top of everything, but all the while I’m waiting for things to go wrong very badly very fast. It’s performance ...


. . yes. The forecast for 2016 is llamas all over the place. Be warned, and do not adjust your set. Have a good New Year, y’all. . .


Or amas, unless I can fix my laptop. The l key is erratic. Works every other time. I’m sure you can imagine that this is not the ideal key for me to lose, of all people. No. Christmas is next wee...


And it is nice. How amazingly domestic. I have lost the use of my down and left arrows. I used to use those all the time, but now they just make an unsatisfying thudding sound and nothing happens...


Who’d have thought it. . . . We are having our new downstairs floors put in on Wednesday. We’re having laminate through the hallway, living room and dining room and sheet vinyl in the (tiny) kitc...


. . . nothing. And loving every minute of it. I will force my carcass out for a short run tomorrow, though. The fitbit judges me otherwise. I like my fitbit. . . it’s not that it has any real ide...


Well then. . . So, I went to the doctor and got some short term prescriptions to calm down the flare, which is nice. Give it a couple of weeks and we reassess. I should be in decent shape by the...


We found llamas. The holiday was nice . . . it was good to get away and lasted just long enough for us to be glad to be coming home, but not so long that we had any days where we were wishing tha...


A week and a half to go. Seven more working days. Woo. I have a new phone incoming. The power button on my old S3 has always had a fault where it thinks it’s being pressed all the time, so it get...


. . . woo! The magic pills have done their magical stuff and I look much less like a sunburned giraffe now. . . Let’s just hope that it stays that way now. Meh. We shall see. I’m now two for two ...


. . . so to update, the nice doctor gave me a repeat prescription of the steroid ointment, and I’m on a course of oral steroids. Hopefully that’ll at least get/keep the crazy rash under control ...


. . . more so the first bit. Though I’d be lying if I said I was avoiding the second bit. I’ve pretty much given up trying to understand what my skin is doing to me. Today, my back is sore. By th...


So much fun. I get to interview for my matched position this week, and likely the others the week after. This is going to be . . . odd. Normally, you would of course be interviewed by your prospe...


Been a while. The bathroom is done, and it looks generally fabulous. Every thing we do to the house makes it more ours and less the house we inherited. If we can get rid of the carpets that would...


Well. . . I’m not at work. This is a holiday by definition, I suppose. Actually, I’ve been at home while the builders are in replacing our bathroom. It looks wonderful already. Admittedly the bat...


. . . oddly fascinating about a mechanical watch. I currently have four watches that I wear, plus another one that’ll be sold at some point in the near future. It’s not quite a ‘collection’ . . ....


. . . it’s shaping up to be a close. Superbowl. If you’re going to stay up until stupid o’clock, the last thing you want is for the second half to be a procession where you really should just cal...


So . . . standard not going to bed before Monday morning entry . . . Woo. We saw a random film on Netflix the other day - Arn, the Knight Templar. Kind of a meh film that I do not recommend, exce...


. . . than booking a doctor’s appointment. The eczema is a lot better right now. at least on my arms. It’s hard to know why. We went and got some different detergent for the washing machine just...
