Laptop all set-up now, though the sound is worryingly crackly through headphones and speakers at times. Hopefully just teething problems (maybe dust or summat). I did watch some youtube videos last night. First time I've been able to properly view streaming video for months. Hurray.

Run it under the cold tap for 5 minutes!
Then go to the shops and buy one of those caps that holds beer and dispenses it via straws.

I've always wanted one of those hats!
I've got one of my special Ambulance burns dressings on it. It's like a gel, extra cold, sucks the heat out, but I fear the damage is done! Honestly, I'm such a numb nut. I tipped the water onto the sauna coals, and just didn't move my hand away! Good job I'm pretty.

Hang on, while I wave a magic device over it and make the damage go away.

Ah, the Fire Haired Doctor of Love! I may need her, a rather interesting blister is developing. I keep poking it, which causes intense pain, but you know, gotta poke it!
I may have to call in sick to work, which I don't like doing. So I am cross at my stupidity. Gosh darn it.

I'm feeling all wound up (in a good way) ready for a meeting in London tomorrow. Got to catch a train before 7am but should be back by 5-ish.
Just worked out that in the last few months I've re-watched on DVD seven of the films that I always put in my top ten films of all time (namely Harvey, LOTRx3, A Shot in the Dark, Spirited Away and The Shadow) so I suppose I'd better re-watch the other two (Labyrinth and The Princess Bride) before too long to confirm they too still have the effect. The tenth film in my top ten varies with my mood.
But I'm too wound up to watch such relaxing films tonight, so I'm going to buy fish and chips and put Mission Impossible on instead. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll be in unwind mode.

I had a morning of destruction this morning. Well, technically disassembly but the way I do it the process oftens look more chaotic and explosive than it really is....
One of the mirrored doors on my wardrobe, which has been somewhat damaged for some time gave up the ghost completely this morning. I was awoken by a clanging and thumping which transpired to be because a large chunk of the door had calved away like an iceberg and was now only attached to the rest of the mirror by means of a thin layer of the plastic backing. I decided that I wasn't sufficiently awake to deal with that probllem at four am, so I went back to bed. I figured that if it was still attached later in the morning I could deal with it then, and if it fell off it would do so into the wardrobe with an almighty crash and, well, I could deal with that later on too.
As it was it was still clinging to the backing film this morning, so I spent the morning disassembling the doors and carting them downstairs to stack them in the garden until I can arrange a special uplift.
Time to get the tape measure out and start planning what I do to replace the wardrobe doors methinks.
This afternoon I headed out for a walk along the canal and bumped into a pair of adolescent swans who were extremely talkative. Although I'm unclear if they were attempting to communicate with me or if they were calling out the two dogs that were wandering up and down the canal. The ducks however seemed to be completely disinterested in the noise (and in me once they realised I had no food that they could mooch off me).

'Tis was a while ago. I was inbed, wobbled a bit and thought, ur, too early, deal with whatever it is in the morning! My hand is RED, not just red, but RED, and the central area of damage is a funny kinda shinny. (must stop poking). Improving, can type again. Hurts to hold beer glass though *weeps*. |

Huge 3 junction queue on the M5 on the way down Philip dropped caravan keys down the drain on the first day Had to buy a URC to get the TV to work right Broke one of my leg braces in two on the second day Then went on a huge diversion today when the M5 was closed for a few junctions leading up to Bristol: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/8310030.stm |

Made friends on Facebook today with this girl who I went to school with and we spent half the evening talking to each other on Live chat. It seems 2009 is the year in which I bump into many people whom I knew from school that I haven't seen since back in the day.

Attending a wedding today in Horsham. A fine lad who I took under my wing a decade ago is tying the knot with a lovely dutch lady he met at Bible college.
This kid has come a long way considering he used to be a bit of a sheltered momma's boy. I really proud of him.
The wedding itself is going to have a few dutch traditions thrown in although I don't know what they are. Should be fun though.

Going out for a feast directly, my father in law's 60th. Haven't eaten much all day in preparation. Gunna feast like it's 1999 baby!
Also, the central major damaged area of my hand is starting to peel away! What will be underneath?!?!!!

Hurray! The space lurgy of the last week is finally starting to lift! -Ralph Excellent! Glad to hear that. Wish I could shift my own occassional cough, which I have now had for about six weeks or thereabouts. Ah well, it hasn't stopped me being busy with a paintbrush today. I have been staining and weatherproofing my shed-of-holding (you'd be amazed how much stuff you can get into one shed if you really have to). This has involved much climbing of ladders to reach the roof, and interesting careful balancing to get to the hard-to-reach sections. It also involved some very clever jiggery-pokery to raise the trellis (without removing it) so that I could apply Ronseal beneath it. Finally, however, a first coat has been applied to the whole of the shed.and it is now at least partially stained and weatherproof. I need to get a second coat on before it fully does what it says on the tin, but that shall have to wait until next weeked I fear. Karl |

I watched Robocop for the first time yesterday. Now I feel ashamed, since what I had put off watching thinking it was a mindless violent film was actually a really amazing, intelligent piece of cinema. Fantastic stuff.
Bonus: The Robocop Rap

One of the wooden things. Although if she'd been in the garden and standing still this afternoon Mrs Trellis might have been in danger of getting creosoted as well.

For clarity I meant "in my garden".
That said, the Ronseal did kind of end up going everywhere, so who knows...
