preparing for another day on the beach in the sun. :)

on the road again...

discussing the harsh realities of the world with my dad.

Free paper house give-away now finished...

giving away tree houses at 12 new st,come and get one!

bite to eat... condiments rule...

Hurrah, it's almost beer o'clock...

mindless holiday reading, check...

Just can't be bothered today. That's the last-day-before-a-holiday for you. *sigh* [applies slap to the face] right, onwards, work...

...and...relax...

Insurance docs arrived, car picked up without any problems. I can finally start to relax... :D

not a healthy break...

Waiting for a letter from the insurance people. If it doesn't arrive today it means more stress and endless phone calls. Come on Royal Mail!

...tired...

Eating noodles with Thai holy basil aubergines with chilli and soy sauce... mmmm

So hungry. No snacks in the house. Seriously tempted to try the 3-week-old Jamaican Ginger Cake I just spotted hiding behind the spices...

About to test my new code for sending a newsletter out to 45,000 people. No pressure then.

Pondering the best way of implementing a classic asp multi-language website model :(

I need this...

Depression related to bastard insurance companies being difficult, whyohwhyohwhy?

spot of lunch, check out the home-made pitta ;)

Slideshow of the CoC Journey Game http://ping.fm/paDlP

Left in charge of loading some washing.. forgot all the instructions.. put wrong liquids in wrong slots.. never leave men with such things..

ah, Lancaster in summer...

groggy and tired... a lazy day I think...

Now doing Journey to the End of the Night... http://ping.fm/pOyZ3 hope it goes well! Roll on beer o'clock! :)

Houses exhibition over, now preparing for the Journey http://ping.fm/4CJby

project complete: )

It's all over for another week. Hurrah!

Tried 'Urban Spice' for palak paneer and naan lunch. Was good. Even had a haggle the over final price to complete the Indian experience.

Mislaid my map. It had the fountain of youth, garden of eden and city of gold marked on it. All I can find is a street map of Lancaster.

Curry for lunch... Joy.

Adramelech, the Arch Demon of SQL Hell, has been cut down to size (into little pieces actually) by the simple use of a temporary table...

aaargh, pissing down and I'm stuck in town....

found a fat brown spider in bed with me *ugh* I knew I felt something tickle my ear earlier...

why, hello Wednesday! how the hell are you? must have been, ooh, how long? a week? mm, yeah, about that...

[the sound of muffled sobbing is barely audible above the whir of the computer fan] Hello Tuesday!

eating left over curry....

Hungry! Where curry?

Terminator Salvation was rubbish - lack of interesting plot, script, depth and disappointingly few huge-robot-fights....

ordered take away curry, can't face cooking :)

house clean, finally, now hungry. maybe start on the booze that was left behind. .. lots of cider :(

party lost property, come and get it: )

clearing up....

extensive rain protection!

*sigh* where can I get a USB sound card in Lancaster, today? PC World and Currys are all out...

you should always write your name in chilli sauce...

finished slabbing, thank god... now numb and exhausted...

Drank so much coffee that my teeth are throbbing

seaside: )

nice ice tea...

2 more slabs down... *phew* its hot out there!

Ah, the blue language of workmen demolishing a wall next door mingled with their charming cigarette smoke that curls into my window...

I'm sure it must be possible to be enthusiastic, productive, creative on a Monday morning, I'm just not sure how...
