I had this dream the other night, most vivid for a long time. After mulling it over for a while I know what it means now. Do you?
I found myself in a world where something terrible had happened and I was surrounded by Zombies. They seemed to be everywhere and all the un-afflicted people would have to be constantly on guard in case of attack. It wasn't too difficult to defeat these Zombies though, a simple whack on the head with any suitable tool would do the trick. But you always had to be on your guard, lest you were bitten as you slept.
After some time living in this world, I found my way to a large group of people who were not Zombies and had a long-term plan for the future. As I chatted to them an enormous rat-like creature, larger than an elephant appeared; roaring and snarling, its huge teeth gnashing as it ran towards the group.
I grabbed a phaser-type gun from someone and opened fire. The creature was stopped, but seemed to take a long time to die. It fixed me in the eye and said, 'Don't kill me, I have something important to tell you.' But I didn't believe it, and fired on. 'Tell me quickly, so I can stop firing before you die.' I said. 'Ah,' it replied, in agony, 'it would take longer than that.' And died.
At this point two huge unearthly swords appeared shooting up into the sky, one red, one blue, stretching from the horizon to above our heads. A voice from everywhere at once boomed, 'By your act, you have chosen the to have your world ruled by men, not by gods.'
I realised then that the voice was from a race of alien-like creatures, who had caused the Zombies and the rat, and that this was all part of some vast plan, unknowable for now.
The blue sword fell from the sky towards us, it's fiery blade flashing.
As it hit us the everything changed and found myself in a new world. The Zombies were gone, and all around were people, going about their normal business. All was as it used to be, but the architecture was strange, the people odd.
I lived in this world for a while, until one day I was in a recreational building, watching a group of men drink beer and banter. A feeling of deja-vu came over me as I listened to them. I realised suddenly that I had heard this before, word-for-word, in a sitcom from a decade earlier. This was scripted, all these people were fakes, nothing was real, or as it seemed after all. This was still part of the aliens' plan.
I wandered outside and awoke.

Hi-grease meal of champions...
Yes, that's a large amount of tempura. Batter made with cider and folded-in whipped egg whites. Fillings of squash, sweet potato, aubergine, mushrooms, French beans, tofu and some chillis stuffed with cheese. Greasy but damn good.
Pint at the george
Outside the George and Dragon pub ion the Quay in Lancaster. Just out of sight is a large gang of cider-drunken, slightly rough people.

Seed tray view
I have now removed all the sprouted seedlings and moved them to a sunny windowsill. The still dormant or very young have been left in the propagator.

Black Country Rock
I was just listening to this track by David Bowie, and I just love the verse at about 2 mins 30 secs in so much that I felt compelled to blog it and encourage you to go and listen to it right now. The odd voice trick is what I like. Great... the 'ahh' is just great.
Some say the view is crazy
But you may adopt another point of view
So if it's much too hazy
You can leave my friend and me with fond adieu
Ahh

HP Officejet 6310 - Error
Damn my IT luck.
Whatever I buy, it doesn't work, or has a fault that involves me carrying it back to the bloody shop. Only this time, it was the last one, so I got my money back.
Mind you, the people at PC World didn't believe me.
'Doesn't work eh?' The PC World man raises his eyebrows. 'Ere, Dan, check and see if this works...' He smiles at me, as if to say, ha! You didn't expect that, now we'll catch you out!
But of course, it doesn't work. The lights flash and it does nothing else.
They are reluctant to hand over my money and keep on asking if I want another one.
'Yes,' I reply, in a tired way, 'but you don't have any more do you?'
Eventually they return my cash, but it took 30 or more minutes.
The previous night I wasted 2 hours of my life (I want them back, HP) with an on-line technical support person, preumably in India. It's a kind of MSN type thing, like, LOL it's fubar man.
Here's a record of my 'conversation'. Be aware, this is the future...
