Stupid people

This evening I went for a run in a local park. I had hardly got started when I heard crying and yelling from behind some bushes and a woman’s voice shouting “get off me” repeatedly. I ran around behind the bushes to find a man nonchalently calling his dog and a woman lying sobbing on… Read More »

Simple Pleasures

Today illustrated to me some of the joys of the simple things in life. It also illustrated bureaucracy at it’s most irritating, but I’m trying not to dwell on that. Today is my birthday. I spent the morning at the Job Centre being told I didn’t qualify for any support. Harrumph. This afternoon, Hannah and… Read More »

Happy Thoughts

After a dearth of bloggable events, here are a few happy thoughts. * I’ve finished my finals – a good thing overall, but scary as I need a job now * Yesterday, we bought a “car”:/pics/rachael.jpg – no more cold, hunched journeys with nothing but the roar of the wind in my helmet to cause… Read More »

Finally, something to write about…

Just got back from a trip to A&E. Foolishly managed to slip up in our kitchen, landing with the metal edge of a step getting a bit over-friendly with the back of my head. Cue a trip to A&E, X-Rays and three stitches. Feeling a bit woozy now, and a bit of an idiot. I… Read More »

Little things

Another little nice thing happened today to help restore my faith in parts of humanity. Hannah and I went to buy a new CD player to replace my slowly dying one. While there we also bought some nice, but heavy wicker goods. We were then struggling home with them and my arms were falling off… Read More »

People: Good or Bad?

Sometimes things happen that really make me dislike people. For instance, this week Hannah and I finally filled in our passport applications and posted them off to our respective “professional person who has known you for 2 years or more” (of which more later). A few hours later, we had a knock on the door… Read More »

Chrimbley

Much has happened lately, nearly all mundane and non-bloggable. I have found myself with writer’s block every time I attempt to write something. I find myself in childish anticipation of Christmas this year. Probably mostly for selfish reasons 🙂 Hannah has done well and I have no idea what she’s got me. She’s normally as… Read More »

So cold

Stupid cold weather. I wanted to be on campus nice and early this morning. Then Storm didn’t want to start from the cold. When I got her started, I drove down to the petrol station to fill up. The filler cap was frozen, and I couldn’t get the key in. So I bought some de-icer… Read More »

Lots of stuff

I’m tired. I’ve been working quite a lot, recently. I’m hoping to cut my hours down to 2 days a week so I can spend more time with Hannah, and spend more time on my uni work. I’ve spent quite a lot of time on my SEC coursework. I should probably have just let my… Read More »
