Another weekend over, and most of those things I hoped to get done over the weekend still need doing. Where does all that time go to? OK. Saturday was mostly taken up with the dentist, and then feeling sorry for myself afterwards, with Sky Sports in between (good results for West Ham and Crawley Town). […]

Flowers
August 21st, 2004 · Comments Off on Flowers · Life
The flowers which I ordered online from Interflora arrived OK yesterday, and Jayne was over the moon. Unfortunately the anniversary was a bit of an anti-climax as I did a few jobs around the house (put up the last bit of coving, tidied up some cables and laid the lino in the downstairs toilet) and […]

Teeth
August 21st, 2004 · Comments Off on Teeth · Life
I hate my teeth, and I think they hate me too! I was in the middle of a course of dental treatment last year, when our dentists disappeared. No warning, no notification, they just weren’t there one day, having done a moonlight flit. I don’t think they were very good anyway. Every time you went […]

Anniversary
August 19th, 2004 · Comments Off on Anniversary · Life
On the way home tonight I stopped off at the shops and bought a vase. We only had one large vase at home and Jayne broke that last week while cleaning it, and today I booked a great big bunch of red roses to be delivered during the day tomorrow, because tomorrow is our 3rd […]
Synchronicity?

And I am not talking about the old Police album or the basis of SDH transmission systems either! While I was knocking out a quick blog entry at work about waiting for cheques, there was a letter for me at home from the Inland Revenue… a cheque almost large enough to cover the cost of […]

No news

No news yet about that job. I wouldn’t expect to hear so soon, as they said they would know by the end of the week, or possibly Monday, but it would be handy to end the suspense.

Interviews pt 2
August 17th, 2004 · Comments Off on Interviews pt 2 · Life, Work
Overslept. Rushed out without breakfast or even a drink. Caught a slightly later train and arrived at work starving. Decided to go out for a quick toasted bacon sandwich and found the local cafe closed for 2 weeks’ holiday. Bought a bun from the bakers and went back up to the office. When the boss’ […]
Interviews
August 16th, 2004 · Comments Off on Interviews · Life, Work
Today Jayne had a sort of interview with a local charity (Mid-Sussex Body Positive) about joining their management committee. That went quite well and she should get co-opted onto that. I have an interview tomorrow for a job in Crawley. Its sort of internal – not within my company, but with another company in the […]

New music
August 16th, 2004 · Comments Off on New music · Music, Technology
Well… not all of it new. At lunchtime today I took a bus ride to the new Virgin Megastore, which has taken over the old Tower Records shop at Piccadilly Circus. The idea was to pick up a DVD-Audio disc to see if it makes a difference, so something new would not do the trick. […]

A very, very nice man
August 16th, 2004 · Comments Off on A very, very nice man · Technology
The skudsmobile has been playing up lately. Actually it has been playing up since I got it: there is always something wrong with it, and if I get that fixed something else goes wrong. In the last week or so it has been refusing to start in the mornings. The battery is fine but the […]
