Demob happy
Only one working day until we're off to the middle of what looks, from my perusal of the road atlases and street maps, like the middle of Wiltshire's answer to nowhere. I'm quite excited about it, actually - for a start, it doesn't feel like I've had a full week off work in a while, and I'll also welcome the opportunity to break free from the bonds of computers (some hopes... my colleagues have already guessed that I'll probably be taking my iPAQ with me!)
I'm hoping that the sniffles I'm currently harbouring will have subsided by Friday; judging by the terrible nights' sleep I had earlier in the week and a nose that's exceptionally keen on running, I think I've reached the peak of it. Now, though, I don't feel too bad, so with any luck it'll be over soon.
Consequently, it's difficult to recall the last few days. I've been working slightly more sociable hours, so I'm home well in time to help steer the children towards bed, although the evenings still race past, once the lounge has been tidied (well, OK - I didn't do it last night!), tea eaten, emails read and a couple of hours spent working on a compilation CD (I have a friend whose birthday is this week - it's in lieu of a card) or Beth's PC in the studio.
I was quite pleased with meyself yesterday - I actually wrote what could loosely be described as a 'proper' letter, with handwriting and everything. It's such a long time since I've written anything more than a list or scant notes using pen and paper; I can only hope it's legible!
People shouldn't send me links to addictive games like this one. I sometimes surprise myself with how little willpower I can muster!
Links for the day? Of course...
- www.bracestower.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/.../Braces_Tower-The_General_Synopsis.mp3 : the shipping forecast to music... well, it's poetry of sorts, isn't it?
- www.embracewind.com : I'd love my very own wind turbine. I'm not sure the neighbours would be too impressed...
- www.lebonze.com/stuff/move.htm : My brother Dave sent me this; it's unusually amusing. Or is it amusingly unusual?
Joke: The other day I won a year's supply of marmite... one jar.
