So, do I paint for a bit, or play more Baldur’s Gate II, or just smooch around the ‘net for a while. Choices choices.

What was the TV program presented by Dr Heinz Wolf called? The Great Egg Race seems to spring to mind? Kind of like Scrapheap is, but on a smaller scale, and more boffin-oriented.

Scrapheap is, without a doubt, the best television program of the last decade. You have to love it.

Robot Wars comes close – I have these visions of loved old folk having to sit at home and watch it because their sons and grandsons and daughters and granddaughters have nicked their wheelchair motors to power their latest tin-monstrosity.

Ok, ok, so I’m terrible at keeping my diary up-to-date, what else is new 😉

Grete’s away at the moment in Brighton, so I’m missing her terribly 🙁 I’m addicted to Baldur’s Gate II which is her fault anyway! 😉 Just finishing off the chapter 3 quests before starting out on chapter 4.

Work is pretty dire at the moment, team mates are great, but it’s performance management season, which is a bit like the hunting season with noisy honest blunt staff members on the menu.

Ah well, we endure.

Still haven’t sold the house, starting to get very worried about that now. Finances are getting out of control again, and my ‘control freakishness’ is becoming a serious issue.

I’m sure we’ll be fine!

Grete’s a lot better, although still not totally sorted. I’m knackered 😉

Grete’s suffering badly at the moment, her anxiety and depression is pretty bad. We nearly had her admitted to hospital, but decided against it at the last minute. She’s better off here, at home, where she’s familiar with things, and where I can keep her safe.

Laptops

You’ve got to love laptops 😉

Why is Shadow Warriors such a scary movie? How can anyone write such a terrible script, and then pay such terrible actors to play the parts!

Why does Chinese food make my mouth so dry?

Why does coca cola really taste better when it’s around 0 or 1 degrees C?

Still haven’t sold the house 🙁

Just read my web page again, you know, passing the time, and spotted the comment where I said I’d be updating my diary ‘almost daily’ thanks to LiveJournal.

Well, erm, I guess not. I guess I’ll be updating it whenever I’ve got the emotional energy to do so, which depends on how crap work has been and generally how depressed I’m feeling.

Generally, at the moment, I’m quite upbeat. Grete certainly seems quite well.

The drain on our income from having a house and living in rented accommodation is still getting to us, but we’re coping.

Sunday afternoon, lazing by the PC (like my usual days are any different!) eating my lentil soup.

Waiting for Grete to get ready, and then we’re off to Andy’s, probably for a bit of B&B (boardgames and Buffy).

I can’t decide if I like Lentil soup more than I like Pea soup.

Another day, another dollar

Finally worked out where my ‘keeping track of finances’ was going wrong. I’ve been ignoring interest on the account when catching up, because I hadn’t realised it had gotten up to £4.71 a month. After 6 or 7 months, that’s quite a bit.

Still, all sorted now (I hope) so we should be back on track.

I’ve managed to keep my promise to myself, and do some painting every night. Don’t seem to be getting very much done, but at least I’m doing some. More info on the painting page.

Work was ok, we’re finally getting to grips with our active tasks, looking forward to having another new team member soon.

Dim Sum 🙂 25th September 🙂 Can’t wait.

Pay Day :)) 20th September, have to wait 🙁

I wonder, am I really iNTj, or do I just wish I was?

Rain ………..

I LOVE mashed potato, with a bit of milk and butter, and all beaten and fluffy 🙂 With loads of thick dark brown gravy.

And meat.

But it takes an age to cook, and I’m hungry right now!!! Ah well, it’s worth the wait (and it’s weight in gold).
