Why don’t BT provide reply-paid envelopes for sending bill payments? All the other utilities that I deal with do. And why is the BT website so bloody useless? Rant!

It’s good to know who your friends are.

As I walked into the office just now, Seamus (who is the nursery cat) ran out. I had a fair idea what was going on. Inside, a local black and white cat, that we call Phil (it’s a long story), was cleaning up Seamus’s leftover lunch and eyeing a bag of kittybix on top of a cupboard. Needless to say, Seamus was less than best pleased about that. So, after I had chased Phil out, they are now sitting outside the door, about four feet apart, howling at each other. It’s actually quite fun to watch.

I AM 10% GEEK.

I wanna be a geek. But I’m not. Why would I even want to be one. Do I think it’s fun? I should try writting an online test application at 1am in my underwear.
Take the GEEK Test at Fuali.com!

I wonder why people bother to write these things. Or should I say ‘writte’?

My flat is filled with the heady scent of a large bunch of lilies. This is a good thing.

Beer this afternoon with Tim, Gary and Paul F. More beer this evening with Annalee, Deb, the bescarfed Ali, Paul F and Aris. A mellow Monday.

So much for spending the day in an unusual way. I spent most of it in the pub. But at least I got my laundry, shopping and other chores done.

Well, I went to Pallant House. And it was shut. gah.

Not sure I agree entirely with this article. It raises some significant issues, but surely this is only a transitory phase, and as technology improves, the sort of issues she raises will become less of a problem? And surely, picture editing “on-the-hoof” is nothing new – reading John Simpson’s autobiographies has shown to me how television crews have been doing on-the-spot editing for the last thirty years.

My plans for spending the day in an unusual fashion have been shelved due to lack of funds. Instead, I’m going to tidy the flat, do some laundry, get lunch with Paul F, maybe go to Pallant House, nip to Waitrose and generally mess about and achieve little. Which is a good way to spend a day off work.
