I finally received confirmation yesterday that my application for the course on web apps I talked about has been received and accepted, so I am trying to tie up as many loose ends and get as much stuff done as possible. This is not as easy as you’d think, because every time I try and […]

DIY, decorating and de-cluttering; home improvements and recipes: anything vaguely home or garden related gets chucked in here.
Answer Me This
Why is it that the area of the sink underneath our dish-drainer always seems to get dirty, despite the fact that the only thing that ever gets put on it is clean dishes? Our dishes are washed in very hot water so you’d think that the water would drip down from the rack and clean […]
Those follow your eyebrows dear!
It’s been around 14 years since my last eye test and after much “umm”ing and “ahh”ing, Karl and I decided it was probably about time I got off my lazy arse and went to the opticians. I figured that working and playing with computers for up to 14 hours a day probably hasn’t done them […]
Rain Rain Go Away
It’s probably not hit the news over in the States because rain in the UK is hardly a new thing, but here in England and in Wales we’ve got some serious wet weather issues going on at the moment. The country is under water in many places with rivers bursting banks and more rain still […]
So There We Go
My Mum mentioned to me this evening that I never did follow up my entry on the swans and she’s right. I realised that I’ve not followed up on any of my entries for months, barely discussing anything but superficial crap and the Internet. So here I am, telling you how things are with me… […]

I’m serious. I’ve been at home today because I feel like I’m dying, […]
Oh Dear
My village is slipping into the river (again).
Where Do Swans Go?
No, this isn’t one of life’s little questions like “where do flies go in winter?”, but a genuine concern. Over the last few weeks I’ve been regularly watching two swans on the River Severn. They must have been nesting because there was a built up area of grass on a mini island, on top of […]
I’m Not a Drinker, But…
There’s nothing like three quarters of a bottle of white wine on a Sunday evening to relax with, whilst watching the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. All I need now is a huge bar of chocolate or a tub of bloody gorgeous ice cream (and I have neither, darn). It’s lucky I don’t suffer from […]
AARRRGGGHHH
I am an in such a fucking foul mood this evening. So many stupid things… I spent part of this afternoon re-doing work that I spent almost three hours yesterday polishing off (don’t ask). My face broke out in spots down one side last weekend and they won’t piss off. I look fifteen again. I […]
