beer (briefly) tonight in the company of Clive, Matt, DA, Kearn and James, with guest appearances by Claudette, Michelle and Steve C. To tired to stay any later – plus early start tomorrow.

Another thing currently preying on my mind at the moment is Colgate Herbal Toothpaste. No, really, I saw it in Waitrose the other day. It has camomile, myrrh and eucalyptus in it. It sounds absolutely disgusting.

Is there anyone that reads this that knows anything about the behaviour of breakfast cereals? Muesli in particular. I keep my muesli (Waitrose Luxury Fruit and Nut) in an airtight jar. So every time I take a serving from the jar, the jar gets tipped on its side so that the contents can pour into my bowl. You would think that this would lead to a mixing of the contents, but no. Instead, I always end up with the nuts and raisins at the top of the jar, and the oats at the bottom, with the coconut mixed fairly evenly throughout.
Bizarre. This is the sort of thing that preys on my mind.

didn’t leave work until 7pm. And tomorrow, I have to leave for a plant fair at 7am. guh. So I’m tired now, and by this time tomorrow, it’ll be even worse.
Anyone who has my mobile number and fancies sending a txt msg tomorrow to keep me going will earn brownie points and a smile.

Beer last night in the company of Paul F, Julie (Mrs Aris), DA, Kearn, Paul C, Simon, Clive, Arron, Sarah and her new fella Andy. Paul S was also spotted, so a full compliment of Pauls.
Andy seems a nice bloke – obviously a bit hard to judge based on half an hour in the pub – he also seems remarkably tolerant of Sarah even when she has half a dozen Becks inside her.

The Secret Diary of Tony Blair. Very good. I guess we will see a William Hague equivalent soon, but I don’t think the Charles Kennedy version is ever likely to catch on.

beer on an empty stomach. bad plan. anyway, after college tonight, beer in the fine company of James W, Paul F, and Aris. A good evening.

go buy the May 3 issue of ComputerActive, for no other reason than the fact that this blog is featured. If I find time in the next week, I’ll scan it and post it.

total, utter, class.

bloody hell, it is totally manic here today. I’m rushing around like the proverbial decapitated avian. So please excuse the paucity of blogging. Maybe go take a look at some other blogs and see what they have to say.
