This is a joke, right?
Brighton 4 – Wolves 1. Who’d have predicted that?

It’s things like this that make me proud to be British: man smashes record for least distance covered in a boat in the greatest time.

The BBC article includes this picture:

If you look closely in the bottom left corner, I think you’ll see the problem – he’s still tied up!

EDIT: live footage of the rower from his boatcam:

I spent far too long on this. Not exactly B3ta quality, but quite fun for a first attempt at animation.

I know what didn’t happen last night – the Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou 1997 is still sitting here in my wine rack, gently gathering dust, so we obviously didn’t drink that. That’ll have to wait until next time.

I’m trying to figure out what I did yesterday or last night that has made my thighs ache this morning. Whatever it was, I hope I enjoyed it.

Ridiculously tired this morning, compounded by the fact that the ultra-strong Javan I made at 2.30 this morning for me and Julie kicked in at around 6am, precluding much more in the way of profitable sleep. So I got up a little after 8, floated in the bath for a while, then went to the bank. Now I’m sitting here, looking at my monitor, and thinking “I really should do some work on The Project”, when all I really want to do is sleep. And then there is the small matter of the washing up mountain, looking at me beadily from the table and kitchen.
Anyway, as you will no doubt realise if you’ve read the comments two posts down, last night’s dinner with Fi and Julie was a roaring success, not least because the three of us got roaringly drunk. Again. Apologies to neighbours for any late night loudness that may have occured (memory a bit patchy). On the plus side, we plan to make these little threesome dinners a regular event, which, I must say, is an utterly splendid thing.

Top marks to Barclays for using Rae and Christian for their hold music – had me bopping around the office. Further top marks for keeping me on hold for no more than a minute too.

Very busy, therefore quiet.
You ok?

Is Getting On the new Scaryduck?

What I’m less excited about is tidying this flat. It’s a tip, and I have two lovely laydeez coming around for dinner tomorrow. It would be good if it was less of a tip by then.

Yay! My new business is being born! It will take around eight working days. I’m really REALLY excited!
