So, today I managed to wake up reasonably early, which considering what with packing etc. I still didn't get as early a night last night as I had intended, I finished off some packing, did my basic ablutions and considered breakfast. Some consultation with Sharon via messaging indicated that she wanted to try somewhere called Cumulus which had some ( Read more... )

Today had its ups and downs. I didn't quite get my steps done. Not even with my new, more conservative goal, but I was only 500 steps short. I would have got it if I hadn't sat down when I got home, but I had had a busy day.

Well, it wasn't exactly by the mid-day deadline, but it was definitely before lunch that I finished the last of the labs. So that's that. The only thing still to mark for that unit is the exam, which I am assured will take at least 3 weeks to get to me. So I will be able to take it home and mark it over Christmas. Or something like that. And it ( Read more... )

Well, today I did slightly better in the getting up stakes, so that I was up and out of the house before 9am. Of course this is primarily because this is the day that I have my tutorial or lab at 9:30am, which provides a bit more incentive.

There were brief awakenings when the alarms went off, just about long enough to turn them off, and then zonk, out I went again. Part of it was a phenomenon I've ( Read more... )

The last day of September. I should hit my palindromic number next month fairly early. In that on 750 words tonight I will get the 1438th day of my streak. In that I have done the 750 words every day for that long.

Well, today was an improvement. I not only didn't touch any social networks via idevice before getting up, but I actually got up before the last alarm went off (or was due to do so anyway... It's the glitchy one that somehow does that in the evenings but not in the mornings, did I mention it was analogue... It has some irritating features as a ( Read more... )

Well, today was meant to be hot. And it did indeed reach a fairly hot peak later in the day, but initially it was not so hot. In fact initially it was pouring with rain and there was even a bit of thunder. Which was a little bit of a problem for me, because the dog that I am currently looking after isn't fond of thunder, and when she heard it start ( Read more... )

I'm currently house / dog sitting for my parents. At least for a couple more days. Luckily it's not terribly far from my place so I can pop back relatively frequently to water my plants etc. Now with the week to come being a bit busy (picking up parents from airport, volunteering at the observatory, GenghisCon) I figured I would take what I had ( Read more... )

Seems that LJ have taken a leaf out of dreamwidth's book and the lj cuts now will open within your friends page. With a collapse link to shrink it back to the cut. Though not quite as elegant as the arrows that dreamwidth use it's nice.
