Time to grab some new music from iTunes. It would seem 7500 tracks aren't enough to satisfy. Now what shall we have.....

Every govt. says it can reduce costs by cutting waste. It's all a bit Sir Humphrey and misleading.

No, I disagree. North Sea Oil revenues was used to prop up the budget while tax cuts were made each year. In Norway they invested it all.

By the time people realise the better man was already there it'll be too late. The tories love to cut. The never invest.

No, not a labour supporter but equally not dismissive of the acheivments and abilities. Torys frightens me. I recall the 80s and 90s.

The arrogance of The Sun to think it's always the deal breaker and leader of politics. Stick to the tits and gossip.

Feeling a bit blue today. Reflecting on work, progress, holiday, sickness and personal life. I may yet snap soon.

Plurking and Working. Scans well. Does it work as well? Hmmm..

More coffee. Needed post lunchtime boost to flagging energy. And zero calories too! :-)

I fancy a day outside the server room today. Give my ears a rest.

Tabloid journalism Marr. Not very professional. Rumours based on smeers are not the best subjects for a journalist.

Cat and I dancing around kitchen to some Bridget Badot.

Spring (Autumn?) greens with seasame seeds, parsley and spinach steamed with organic carrots, green beans and tasty new season squash. Yum!

Piddle Hole beer going down well :-) Lovely ale!

Checking the old and spare bulbs from the back light it would appear the contact melts a little wearing it down and loosing the contact.

Я думаю хлопну к pub для быстрые один или два миллиона пиво.

Back from the gym. Feel good. Dinner now and then see what I can do about my rear brake connections on the bike.

Well that's me done. Evening to end cheerfully. Reading "An Interview with the Vampire". What fun!

Never trust a politician who begins the sentence with "I think...." or "the majority of people.....".

No PGP for Snow Leopard. Damn!

Growth not cuts reduces debt. It was proved 10 years ago and is still true today.

My angry mole has falled off after becoming flat and black. Hmmm...

I miss travelling! Wish I had more money and time. Am now in a blue mood.

Kettle just exploded with a spectacular bang. That's how I want to go! :-)

Internet is back after billing confusion at Virgin. Horaay! Alive again!

Sage now working on a new profile. Windows registry problem I suspect. Not their finest creation. Then again, what was...?

Okay. Bad grief to OTRS seems to have whipped it into shape. Permissions were all wrong on some folders. Seems to be working now.

I hate OTRS. Why do these packages never seem to install themselves correctly the first time. Almost 2 weeks on and off on this rubbish.

Mild chilli indeed. The beige wallpaper of all fruit. What is the point?

Aarrghhhh....make Mika stop!!!

Just received an email from Tesco Diets.
"Your personalised diet plan and profile".
Email was empty.
:-)

Blue skies, sunny day, and yet a chill has come over the world.

Lovely ride home. Bike felt good, weather was fine and traffic at a minimum. Now off to the gym to do my exercises fueled by a tasty banana

Why is this so complicated? Same version, same files and yet the new server refuses to load them. Why must people mess with configs?

I see light at the end of my OTRS tunnel however frequent trips to the loo is putting a damper on my enthusiasm.

Just realised Spiral series 2 is on BBC4. Thank the stars for the iPlayer.

LIttle Koshka has not come home. Wonder where she is.

Ooooo...another Smiley adventure on radio 4.

A lovely warm summer afternoon. Am tempted to head to the pub garden with a book.

Sunny day. Washed one of my gym kits too late. Hope it drys for this afternoon's use.

Time for bed. Very sore throat presently. Unsure why. Feeling achy all over too. Probably haven't shifted flu :-(

Girl on the sax is hot! Mmmm.

Dogs dancing to the music! A sight to remember!

Imagine an emo-vampyre! All the guilt all the time!

Accosted by a vampyre out of hours. Unfair sport!

Loud groovy music, hot sunny day and tasty food. Bristol Festival is fab!

Time to get breakfast and a fresh cup of tea made in the new tea strainer...exciting times!

Stuck in traffic jams yesterday due to anti Tory protests outside the court in Bath. Who'd figured it took them so much time to be unpopular

Am in home time mode. Need to pack up and head to the gym...

Going to get a sandwich. Very hungry!

Feel wound up. Told to do one thing as priority I am then told the unfinished task was even more so. Now getting it in the neck from both.

Looks like another fine autumn day. I'll try to keep myself well today.

Time for sleep....need to rest my weary head....

Bottle of cold 'Bitter and Twisted' ale is going down reasonably well. Tis an aquired flavour.

Cat has been placed in the 'keep' pile. A lovable feet warmer should never be considered otherwise!

Started the long task to clean my home. It will take many weeks of hard shifting I think. What should stay, what should go?

Feeling poorly again. I guess not all the bugs have been defeated. Still, home time now and we shall see what we can do. Perhaps a swim?

Back in work. Asked to do more things I do not have experience with. Sometimes.....grrr

Need to eat proper meal for the first time in 2 days. Hungry.

Feeling a whole lot better. Small cough and some headache remaining but I think virus 0/body 1 on this instance.

Against my judgement I went for a hour walk to get some air. I actually feel a lot better as a result.

Oh I wish reporters would stop using the phase "first time since...". It's not the first time is it? Lazy lazy lazy.

Just heard Keith Floyd has passed away. RIP Floyd. A glass of wine will be drunk for you later!

Feeling very hungry. Did not eat yesterday. Have only had a small bowl of muslei today. Need energy to fight nasties inside me.

Still feel crap this morning. Better than yesterday, but still unwell. Another boring day at home.

Winging, racist, complaining and tutting women at the chemist in a queue. Was like a living example of the Daily Mail. Hated it!

Day off work today. Hugging my hot water bottle.
Will finish DTP'ing church newsletter for them.

Feeling pretty poorly this morning. Not a well bunny.

Going to watch "All Is Illuminated" on DVD and chill with a bottle of Austrian WeissBier.

Feel like crap. Can't stop sneezing, headache and general shitiness. Am I allowed to say that? Too late .

Arrghhh....what's got into me? It's still warm and sunny and I am thinking of Xmas! Another comment like that and I deserve shooting.

Feeling exhausted again this morning.
I need a holiday so badly however too much to do and no money.
Perhaps if I can wait until Xmas?

The phone seems to be alive this morning. Screen looks odd. Some water stil in there but it is awake and working.

ah....phone fell off shelf into bath. Hahaha! Shouldn't laught. Tis very dead. Will let it dry out over night and try tomorrow.

New training regime at the gym today. Harder, longer, tougher, etc. etc. Still muscles won't grow themselves and fat needs to be rid of.

I admit, yes. My eyes were welling up during that performance. Pure joy!

O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen,
und freudenvollere.
Freude! Freude!

Oh yes!!! Volume is turned up to 11!

Beethoven 9th on BBC4. Fantastic! A true gem of our culture!

Need to go home. The weight of the week has finally reached me.
Next week refocus on OTRS. In the meantime the weekend is here.

Mr. Turing! You haven't been forgotton and GB has given you the official apology for the selfish homophobic attitude of your peers.

ahhh....mixed fruit all over the floor. Looks like some crazy Kandinsky creation.

Off to the gym. Burn off a few more calories. Add a little more to the six-pack...giggle!

8am the van left Amazon's depot in Bristol and yet while others here had their deliveries I have not. What idiot is driving the van?

Bloody school run. Listen lady, a BMW X5 is not necessary to take little brat to her school! Taking up the whole sodding road double parked

Nuuuuuuuuu iTunes! Yummy!

accellerator, no accellertor, clutch, gear, accellerator
Aagghhh!

Woo Hoo!!! A new Kim Stanley Robinson book is on the shelf at Waterstones! That's my next few evenings sorted!

Still no changes to the iTunes store. Usually they happen on Tuesday. Guess they are waiting for the 'event' later today.

Gadu-Gadu doesn't play well with Adium anymore. Damn!

09:09:09 at 09:09

Time to go. Think I'll get some posh coffee from the shop when in Bath.

Hot water in the protein shake....Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Have to stop the OTRS stuff. I shoudl have completed this but I am confused on many points. Have to help build yet another ATE kit.

lunch now in box for later. Bran flakes, raspberries and blueberries for breakfast.

Cous Cous, quorn, chickpeas, peppers, red onion, olives, artichokes and french bread for lunch.

Ah...Paris..you too are mine. And even better price that Berlin.

Ah....Berlin...you are now mine.....and a bargain price too!

Still no Woopra. Feeling so alone....

Could it be that I'm going off tea? Strange I know. It's tea for pigging sake! Delicious and wet. Why am I becoming bored with it?

Branflakes and Polish blueberries. Yum yum!

Paris book article uploaded to the website. :-)

I forgot today was Handel's Messiah at the Proms. Must switch over now and reply Freak Show tomorrow on iPlayer.

Now becoming hungry once more. Cutting down on carbs while concentrating on protein may help me build muscle but damn I'm hungry.

Back home. Vaccumed the anti-flea powder from the floor. Koshka wants a cuddle. Ahhhhh... :-)

Woopra's stopped collecting stats for me this morning. Eekk!

Just updated the website. DDR Fashion. Go figure!

The desire of a new sofa is becoming overwhelming. Is beauty better than function? Granted cat has clawed mine but it still works.

Back from the shops....ta daaaaaaaa

To the shops...ta da ta daaaaaa....

Still feel hungry. Need to walk off the desire until lunchtime.

A CameronSlug has just found it's way onto the welcome mat from outside. There's irony for you!

Mmmm...gooseberry and elderflower jam on the croisants!
Yum!

Just isn't happening for me today. Must focus harder....

mmm....french pastry, fruit and bran flakes.....

Back from the gym. Tired and whacked out. A little food, some juice and then to bed me thinks.

3mail has ceased! Bugger! Can't download voicemail as attachments and they won't let me divert to another address. Wish they told me!

What's the point in a support service that isn't there? I dispair!

Won't you tell me how to get....how to get to Sesame Street!....

Time for home. Sun is out, rain has stopped, and as usual, work energy has just begun to get going. Typical. Oh well.

The advantage of a late lunch is a short afternoon. The disadvantage is the shops have run out of sandwiches.

Hello!.....coffee?....for me? Oooooo...lovely....

Never put your towels in the machine for washing before you have a morning wash. Staggering around the bathroom like a zombie.

Why no joy at the new morn? Need to have a cup of lemon tea and see how I feel afterwards..

Legs are alive. Sign I need to go to bed. Perhaps read a little and listen to the Prom.

Cat is home. Hot bath. Will skip gym tonight and go tomorrow. Having a mixed up veg byranni instead.

Cat is nowhere to be seen. I hope she's okay in this monsoon.

Why grandma...what big rain drops you have...

Feeling poorly. Need food. Need rest.

The aim of the game is to wear down the politician before the public. Trouble is the public is already on the side of compassion.

Maemo or Android. Ah the problems of Linux choice once again. Upgrading from N810 seems logical but there may be a Android MID around soon.

Ah...Shostakovitch No. 10. Glorious sounds. No.9 is on tomorrow. Lovely.

Compassionate Conservatism? Pah. People have short memories! Angry now!

Opera 10 is gold final. Downloading now. Ooo....the goodness of it all...
