We had Liz over for dinner last night which was lovely. It meant that in the afternoon I went to Sainsbury’s to buy ingredients for cooking. The weather yesterday afternoon was foul, torrential rain and a heavy thunder storm. The storm caused a brief power-cut (under a second long) at Sainsbury’s which in turn caused …

The final push
Yes, five days until the deadline. This actually won’t be the final push but it sure feels like it at college at the moment. Started MM320 (Hermeneutics) this morning and should hit 400 words before lunch. That may not sound like much but I always start essays slowly and then hit my stride around 500-600 …

Magnetism
I just wandered through the kitchen to get myself a coffee and I noticed the door of the fridge as I put the milk back in it. We have those magnetic letters on the fridge which we use to spell various things from time to time[1]. A few weeks ago, while we were down in …

Saturday
Today was the Focus Leavers’ Retreat which Amanda was at (and she took CJ with her) so I had the day to myself. Tried mowing the lawn but it’s a little bit of control. Add to that the fact the grass was all heavily laden with pollen just waiting to be released and my double-dose …

Quiet? Pah!
Leavers’ Quiet Day today. I’m not a fan of quiet days at the best of times and when I have a dissertation to be getting on with, even less so. Thankfully I was able to write just over 700 words over lunch so that made it a bit better. Uploaded more photos of Callum taken …

Sunday
Last week I got my purple and green stoles from Michelle and Amanda was good enough to take a couple of photos. I’ve used one of these to create myself a new hackergotchi which appears below. I’ve changed the Planet SUSE config to use this. Good Sunday. Church in the morning, some housework this afternoon …

Musings
I had another Facebook email overnight (no link for reasons that will become apparent). Over the last few months a number of my friends (real friends, people I actually know, this isn’t spam) have “added me as a friend on Facebook”. This I find fascinating as I don’t use Facebook, I never have used Facebook, …
