Bleh in OD

For those who were wondering, here’s the pic I promised in the last entry:

Sadly, it doesn’t even look like that any more. That approach stopped working…

I was hoping to use the power cable for my external hard drive as a stop gap (based on the attitude that if I have no working laptop, I can’t use the drive anyway). Unfortunately, the cable is nowhere near powerful enough so, back to the drawing board.

Class on Monday was fun. had to read out the time travel story I sent out to some folk. It went down well and my tutor admitted that she could tell just by reading it that I had fun writing it. Which I really, really did.

This Monday we’re heading to the pub for a meal. Quite sad, but it’s the first time ever I’ve been to a Christmas meal.

Then in the middle of the month, I’ve got another one through borotweetup. If I can afford the deposit (I’ve already been told the meal is covered for me). That one, as it turns out, is at the restaurant is literally about 5 minutes from my house.

Finally found out about smoking in my house on Christmas Day. When I’m back home, I tend to smoke only in the bedroom I use, as I’m the only smoker in the house. The sole exception is if we have a guest and they’re smoking in the living room.

My sister and brother in law are coming round for Christmas dinner and they’ll be bringing my new nephew or niece with them. So I wasn’t sure if I’d be banished outside (which wouldn’t have bothered me). But I asked my mum when I phoned on Monday and as long as I don’t smoke in the same room as him/her, it’s fine. Though my dad probably won’t quite agree.

Incidentally, anyone got any ideas what to buy for a 2-3 week old as a present?

Also, if anyone is interested, I’m heading up the road on the 21st.

Cos I’ve got into trouble for not sharing that info before.

I think that’s about it for now.
