Blimey it's cold out there. Ice everywhere. Will be an adventure this morning.

Soup digesting. Muscles are aching. Cat is sleeping. Horlicks time?

Yummy potato and leek soup going down very well while radio 3 entertains.

Blimey it's cold out there. Warmer than earlier, but wouldn't want to sleep rough. Must remember to give more to homeless tomorrow.

Right. Back into the cold and onto the gym for my Monday evening exercises. Feel very tired again. Need a break.

Blur's "Universal" on the radio. Forgotten how wonderful this song is! Bring it on!!

Oh look! It's raining for a change! Grrr...

Right time for bed. Far too late this evening. Time got away from me. The sound of snoring is already proceding me from the floor above.

Eating a late supper before bed. Might even go for a decadant Horlicks!

Just finished cleaning the bi-orb. Fishes will have a lovely fresh orb tomorrow. Lucky things. :-)

Just caught Friday's Armstrong and Miller show on the iPlayer. Bloody genius! Love the 'When you're gay"song! :-)

Barley corn bread just out of the oven. Lovely!

Back from work. Tired, cold and wet. About to warm through in the bath followed by some curry and beer for a late dinner or early supper?

Quiet and spooky without servers and systems turned on.

In an empty office at work awaiting the PAT testing peeps.

Time for oblutions... :-)

Tucking into breakfast and tea before heading into work. Yes. I do know it's Saturday :-(

Very valid point made! http://ping.fm/NLEdw

Time for some more coffee I think....

ooops...set a scheduled task to back up just a little more than I planned..... :-P

Angrier than a frog brought up in a family of toads and being told years later he was adopted.

Right off we go....into the rain.....

Daily Express on it's BNP/Tory election run once again. Story about money for nursery places turned into money for extremist terrorists.

Cooked up a duck egg omlette for breakfast. Trying to cheer myself up.

Reduced salary in my bank account this morning. Accounts have cocked up! Arrgghh!!!

Another misserable day in a company which no longer needs me on a crappy rainy day. Oh we're full of autumnal cheer!

Just had to chase my wheelie bin across the close. It seemed reluctant to return to it's home.

Felt a bit weak this evening. Managed only an hour at the gym. Bit pathetic really.

off to the gym. Need to burn off some calories and lift some weights.

Lovely new version of Opera released. Ah...happy days....

The desire to drink beer is stronger than the need to keep fit. As I'm off to the gym later anyway, I think I will indulge in a pint of ale!

Cooked way too much porridge this morning. Feel like a stuffed goose this morning - and not in a good way!

Easier to work through Mortimers Fourth Variation on Mornington Crescent. Mind you, blocking may be enabled on diagonals!

Trying to find the easiest way to Stansted. Damn it's remoteness! National Express or train? Both impossible but one is least so....

Am in need of beer. Fortunetly there is one German weissbier left in the fridge. A wonderful discovery!

Time for a hot bath to relax. Not as much housework done today as planned, however fridge has been cleared of half finished jars.

Raining again. Weather is so unfriendly. Still, the worms love it!

So dark this morning! Might need to get the torch out...

Woken tired and achey once again.

Trying to think what my favourite bean would be. On reflection I would have to say the butter bean. Simply too versitile. favouritebean

Decided to be good afterall. Cooked some butter beans with vegimince and spinach served with a fresh salad. Tasty!

Been a long time since I had spaghetti with veggy mince. Wonder if I dare after last night's curry. Too many calories?

What the F**K is up with Virgin's broadband lately? Always congested beyond usability.

Enjoying a Lithuanian lager. Bit fizzy but then all lagers are.

Throw those curtains wide.....one day like this a year will do me right.....

Am as bloated as a pig at an all-you-can-eat swill pit! Didn't finish all. Not used to eating so much food.

Have just ordered an Indian meal to be delivered. I feel so dirty and common! :-)

Just like the iPlayer to stall at the important bit of a programme. Need to find the youtube recording of Doctor Who now. Grrr

I blame my far too cultured lifestyle!

Of course I could be too sophisticated for the celebrety generation.

Watching Children in Need. Don't recognise half the bands and 'stars' being mentioned with cheers! Hmm....I'm not that old!!

Just found a bottle of weissbier hiding behind a cabbage in the fridge. Fab! That will be good later!

This cleaning lark is weirdly theaputic. Feels as if I have regained my home. Let's hope not too many free days going forward to do more!

Giving up on the housework for a bit. Want to rest. Making some tea and listening to Radio 3. Bliss...

Job I turned down last year for present one seems to be available once again, just this one ends. How weird is that?

nPower just offered me £200-£300 to return to them for Gas and Electric. At that rate they would be paying my bills for almost 2 years!

Baking some spelt bread and washing the kitchen. Such a hard life. Where is my semi naked female maid?

Right. Time for bed. Up very early tomorrow to clean house before gas man arrives otherwise he'll be climbing over things.

It would seem Peter Andre was in Yate for the official switching on of Xmas lights. I had to look him up on the web. Peter who?

Feel like a beer at lunchtime. Will take 'Monkey' to the pub to read.

On my third cup of coffee this morning and still feel tired and exhausted. Must be nerves!

Laptop on either hand and a PC in front. Need Chamaeleon eyes!

Breakfast a bit light this morning. Sliced bread with cheese, chilli, a hot dog sausages, tomatoes, and a fresh hot cup of steaming tea!

Mmmm....Marks and Spencers Chilli Pickle on home made bread. That's some serious heat! Fantastic!

Got the Berlin vibe thing back again. Damn I need to go back. Pity about the work thing. Probably one of my favourite exciting places!

Messed up my routine. Thought the gas man was coming tomorrow. Seems it's Friday. Still an extra day to clean the house. Glad really!

So funny.... http://ping.fm/fseV5

Veggy hot dog sausages, scrambled duck eggs and reduced salt/sugar beans. Am I good or not? :-)

Back from the gym. Programme no. 3 now underway. Hopefully see some serious ripples soon.. :-)

Feeling poorly. Must be nerves. Should be okay for gym later.

Submitted job proposals to boss by email. Unsure if he has read them or what my fate may be. Just need to wait and see.

So much housework to consider. So very much...

Just relaxing in hot bath. I feel whacked out and tired! Still...pumpkin for supper...

Off to help set up some wireless and Mac's over at Wotton.

Worry over job loss kept me awake too long. So very tired.

Storm is makng me feel tired and iritable. Need some fresh air.

Lasted only an hour at the gym. Damn I feel like crap. Wonder what's up?

Woo Hoo!! openSUSE 11.2 is out!

Just paid for a quick break in Tallinn again mid December. Need the snow, need the beer, need the rest!

Time to get some shuteye I think. Plenty of things to do tomorrow.

So exhausted. Need a holiday.

Considering breaking the 4 o'clock rule and having another cup of tea before home. Hmmmm..

Just been asked to be more pro-active on projects. Still waiting 5 months for my budget. Who gives first?

Right off to lunch. Just squashed 2.5 bugs from the list. Feeling better in myself, if not physically.

It's very true. Public reaction seems to suggst the Sun was wrong on this one. http://ping.fm/Mlnuw

Why is it the muppets in grey/silver cars refuse to turn on their lights in the fog? Do they want to take the rest of us with them?

Pain in legs hasn't gone away. Muscles still feel they are half the size they should be.

So far new OSX update seems to have sorted my trackpad problems. Early days yet....

Ache all over. Must be flu, but no headache, nose, eyes or other probs. Running a bubbly bubbly bath to soak.

Off to grab a pint and this week's Amatuer Photographer magazine.

Just installed new OSX update. Jury out on whether it fixes this damn trackpad click problem.

Uncertain if the pain in my legs was caused by fitball exercises last night or flu. The uncertainty doesn't help the aching.

Hospital appointment at 10.00. Tucking into boiled eggs for breakfast. Must remember to use mouth wash! LOL.

Haha....Greto Garbo....What planet was I on when I typed that? It's 'The Seduction of Igmar Bergman'. Need more beer I think!

This Sparks musical about Greto Garbo is simply fantasic. Radio 6 now!

Just taken the bread out of the oven. Seeds and outbran together. Works very well.

Very tasty veggy stew consumed with joy!

Right. Off to work. Time to see if the company is still in a financial hole or able to survive a little longer.

You have to hand it to the Puys. They certainly know how to make a good lentil. :-)

Company is in financial troubles. Here we go again :-(

Just read CameronSlugs speech. What a load of arrogant tosh. Appeal to the Murdoch press no doubt. Pandering to an imagined lost country.

Oh dear. CameronSlug and the tories are at it again. As expected he's flag waving and appealing to nationalist little islanders.

Time for bath and some food. Although I would hasten to add, not at the same time.

Woo Hoo!!!!! Klaus has signed the Lisbon Treaty! Now the EU will be closer to the people! Brilliant work!

Resorted to using Tumble Dryer for towels due to lack of hanging space. I feel very ashamed. Bad energy use. Very bad.

A howling eerie and spooky wind outside that would have been pefect last night.

Worken with terrible eye strain this morning. Just downed a couple of Nurofen. They usually help. But why this morning?
