My wounded ankle is bothering me, as the weather takes a turn, so I decided to look up the spot where it happened (hope this works):

56.345888, -2.817459 in case the embed fails. That piece of road has clearly been patched before, and in the last three years HAS decayed some. Interesting.

Meanwhile... Grrrr. The Redskins dropped ( Read more... )

Yeah, I got side-tracked. At least the rain stayed off for most of the day, and allowed things to dray out... well, almost not at all. The office corner got worse, but not "puddles on the carpet" worse...

Would've blogged on the subject earlier, but I couldn't upload the photo I had (thank you, Photobucket...), so that got sidelined. Oh, and I had ( Read more... )

The weekend has been almost wall-to-wall R-A-I-N - so now you know for certain that "summer" has descended upon us. We're not washed out, but there are new small(-ish) leaks...

And we are now into AVENGERS COUNTDOWN territory...

Meanwhile... Just when you start looking forward to Summer, winter comes back around, and bites you on the arse. We have SNOW coming. TONIGHT...

DAMMIT. More wind = more draughts in the office. Screw this - gonna relocate downstairs and try a dose of The Prisoner, and kick off a Mission 101 task96 - Watch the original version of The Prisoner in its entirety.
'cause there's bugger all watchable alternatives on "The Box" right now.

Working on the "epilogue" for TDD-704 Every Silver Lining... - an early night should see the whole thing wrapped up nicely, and the way clear to the prep for Operation Funplex! I'm already assembling my wardrobe - which'll include (at least) the two pairs of boots I ordered for last year, but which didn't appear until JanuarySo far, the weather isn ( Read more... )

Funny day, this one - work was so damned cold that I had to come home early for the second day in a row, then the usual Tuesday break for CSI Miami became a two-and-a-half hour stint to accommodate the premiere of Alphas - "CSI meets Heroes", you could call it. Not bad ( Read more... )
