hard work trying to find a suitable ipad case. So many already dismissed. Leather premium look or coloured groovy one?

June! June???!!! As much as I wanted summer to arrive, I've lost half a year! June already.......

Well that's enough for this day. Off to bed to read for a bit and then dream of better things....

I am beginning to fall out of favour with tea. Perhaps I have drunk too much today?

iPad seems to make a wonderful little TV :-) Nicholas Cage in one of his less wooden roles seems to be on.

Ripping a CD takes seconds. Ripping a DVD seems to require an afternoon working out all the various options. :-(

Trapped on the sofa with a cat on my legs preventing me from getting up. Should I bother?

Sleepy....very sleepy....

Never really appreciated flash issues on web until iPad. So much video wrapped inside flash. Crazy!

Ooo...just remembered it's Bank Holiday again tomorrow. Hmm...nothing to do with it though. :-(

iPad connected to MiFi hotspot from my existing mobile phone. Saved much money over a 3G model :-)

Need food. Feeling very tired and exhausted. Off to the shops to get some things.

Cat loves curling up on my legs at the same time I am keen to get up and do things. Timing is everything!

Excellent miming techniques....NOT...from Bosnia! @bbceurovision eurovision

Is all of Europe on twitter right now? LOL! @bbceurovision eurovision

The ghost of every boy band member gone single with Cyprus entry. @bbceurovision eurovision

I am scared! Looks like Bladerunner robots singing from Moldova. @bbceurovision eurovision

Am I drifting into Phantom of the Opera Norway style? @bbceurovision eurovision

@bbceurovision eurovision Without the background video Spain's entry just looks disturbing!

A strong opening song from Azerbaijan. Wail it out girl! @bbceurovision

downloaded winnie the pooh on ipad. Naked bear up to mischief with honey. Ipad porn get in there!

feeling guilty at purchase of ipad but a delicious naughtiness at having done so.

putting my secret ballot on Germany this evening. Quite fancy a trip next year to Berlin! @bbceurovision

on my way home from watershed after a hunny beer from arbor ales. Eurovision fun soon...

Mmm...me have ipad. Shiney, new, toy, unnecessary...joy!

Got to the point of dispair with the insurance firm. Might be better to just start again and leave the bike, money behind. :-(

Interesting to read of the condem demands of the BBC question time show. Torys showing teeth at an institution they dislike?

Sweden out??!! Blimey! eurovision

@bbceurovision Can't beleive Ukraine made it! Russians swinging the vote I guess! eurovision

Despite all the eurovision still manages to unite Europe in a party atmosphere. Bringing something fun to forget the economic woes. :-)

@bbceurovision Georgia's entry seems to have a large mic shapes mole on her face! eurovision

@bbceurovision Oh yes oh yes oh yes! German entry is stunning. Such a beautiful girl and a great song! eurovision

@bbceurovision Half way though bottle of delicious wine. How much do I need to start singing along? eurovision

@bbceurovision Has the Bulgarian entry been taking inspiration from mid 80s Bros videos? eurovision

@bbceurovision Oh yes Niamh! Wail it out! Swaying cigarette lighters at the ready! eurovision

@bbceurovision Ireland seems to be on top form! Echos of Dana? Somehow I'll always have a place for the turkey puppet though. eurovsion.

Blimey! The Netherlands are taking us back to the 70s with eurovision cheese!

Love that rush ones gets from too much mustard hitting the back of the nose...wweeeeeee!

Ooo...MeeGoo 1 is out! Lovely netbook joy! :-)

Have to say Greece and the butterfly ladies from Belarus get my votes....if I had one....

Most excellent bottle of French red going down well with eurovision catchup and some hullumi salad. Feeling better already.

Impressive rain and lightning storm. Very dark outside with a cloud blacker than a bankers heart.

Ugghh....spring onion tastes of washing up liquid. What do they grow these things in?

New fedora is probably one for trikristophobics to avoid. :-)

4 hours sleep! Strong fresh coffee going down well. Will it be enough to keep me going?

Ooo...new Fedora is out. Looking slick. Nice! Come on Novell! Where's my new openSUSE?

Picked up a small packet of rice from M&S yesterday. Just noticed the ingredients include 'flavouring'. ????!!!!! What????

England flags flying like chav rags from pubs and homes. Do people associate the flag with a football team first and a country second?

Love early mornings in the summer. Quite, fresh and almost a delicious secret shared by few.

Nom Nom Nom...

Damn fine treacle tart! Lovely!

Trying to test a remote DHCP server before the madness begins on Monday.

a beautiful evening at the waterfront in Bristol. Time for another beer before home?

I am beginning to wonder if bus journeys would take half the time with half the bus stops. Why the need for on every 100m ?

Eyes tested. Now £200 poorer. Will need to see how much can be clawed back through work.

A beautiful day. Wish I had someone to share it with.

Feeling very very upset and bad right now. I am depressed. Damn this life and its false promises.

Damn my wrists are hurting again. And no whisky left to blunt the pain or anyone here to keep me company. :-(

Time to sleep. Very tired and quite quite full.

Couldn't just stop at the salad could I? Had to cook the fresh pasta and chop the pineapple as well. Now I feel ready to explode.

I hate my life!

Board meeting today to take time out my day when I am just getting on top of the work load.

Not in such a good mood. 4 hours sleep and feeling grumpy.

Have to admire the olympics look and feel for london2012. Really modern, funky and different logo and mascots. Really welcome!

Loving Wenlock and Mandeville http://ping.fm/pAqra olympics

Bouncing around the kitchen to the mellow tones of Gogol Bordello. Bring it on!!!!

Lovely warm day today. Not even bothering with a jacket. Been to shop and didn't miss it.

Reallu very fed up. If I don't get a break soon and some time to relax I am going to snap at someone. I am in a foul mood.

I seem to have lost my pen. Grrr.... Resisting spending £70 on another but may need to now :-(

Never had volcanos under 18 years of Tory rule in the past he's probably suggesting. Lives are worth more than aeroplanes Richard!

Branston putting his till receipts above the lives of people. Bitching to his new pals in govt re the volcano. Probably Labour's fault.

Listening to the 6music Freaker Zone on the iplayer. Such a quality show torn from it's Sunday evening parent. Weird and way out stuff!

News from Barbados is a welcome cheer for a crappy day doing housework. 148-3. Good game!

Woo Hoo!!!!! England have won the final with three overs in hand! Get in there!

121-3 from England! Come on! Could they be in with a chance here in the final?

Pain in my wrists is driving me insane. AarrrgghhhH!!!!!

Miles Davis Birth of the Cool CD looks and feels just like a record with grooves and black bottom. Neat touch!

Hand hurts. Feeling miserable again. Lonely and depressed. Wrapped in a blanket. :-(

Just picked myself up a second hand 28-70mm Vivitar OM mount lens for a tenner. Nicely nicely!

Sorry blur fans. That new single sounds so depressing and monotone. Not hitting the groove with that one.

Feels odd out of the plaster. Hands hurt but it's nice to have them back again.

It's a sunny day but I still feel misserable. Oh well!

The broken wrists may no longer be in plaster but they still bloody hurt!

I want a new camera lens! Just can't afford it! Pining at images on web pages like my nose is pressed against a grubby window.

Woo Hoo! England beat Sri Lanka in the World 20-20! semi final. Could there be a chance of a win here? http://ping.fm/edYtY

Wonder if my ID card will still get to me in the post now the ConDems have cancelled the service?

I wonder how much Physiothearapy raising a beer glass does?

Off to the hospital now to have my casts removed from my wrists. Whoo Hoo!

Watching a crazed hedgehog running around in circles on the drive. Symbolic?

hahaha.... http://ping.fm/YEHKv

Time for a hot bath me thinks. Wam up in slightly warmer water :-)

Wondering if 'usability' is an actual word, or just an Americanism I have picked up somewhere like second hand chewing gum on my shoe.

Have to say, these new SAMS books for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 are top banana on usability!

But first a beer!

Oh well, time to start saving hard in case I loose my job within the year due to slash and burn in the economy. Getting used to it!

Now the same argument is being used again. True the debt is bigger but lets see how the return of failed trickle-down-economics does.

In 1997 the Tories said cuts were needed to reduce the debt, Labour said growth would provide income to reduce it. They were proved right.

Under Kennedy I don't think LibDems would have gone near Cameron wth a barge poll. Funny how they've changed in such a short time.

I wonder how long it will be for the tax breaks for the unnecessary kick in and gives Ashcroft his money back?

Looks beautiful, very fast and all one loves about Opera. Always the best around! :-)

Opera 10 on the Nokia N810! Woo Hoo!! Much more usable than the Firefox rubbish. Later is too slow to be usable!

I can't see Hague and his eurosceptic chums getting warm support from the LibDems on their crazy foreign policy so what gives there?

wifi ipad + mifi from 3 seems better deal than 3g one from the other companies. hmmm....

Well LabDem sounds a lot better than ConDem, however it does conjour up the image of a funny coloured dog. :-)

Ah...Koshka's first mouse of the season clearly went down well. Having her post mouse snooze now.

Right, off to the shops for some milk and eggs before the prices start climbing anymore. They were up 10p on last week's prices yesterday.

I guess it goes to show what many have known for a while, Murdoch TV is biased and simply shit.

http://ping.fm/LGpvW Kate Burley's bullying journalism isn't very professional. Got to see the YouTube http://ping.fm/l1whl

HAPPY EUROPE DAY!!!!!! (Except Hague and his Tory chums with their 19th century view of nation states)

It's odd the LibDems so dedicated to social reform is teaming up with those who prefer to take us back to neo-thatcherism DontConDemUsNick

Looking at some of my cameras, I wonder how many of us miss the label 'made in japan' on things?

Does Clegg join Tories, get PR electoral reform in law, leaves and forces election after vote of no confidence? Hmmm....possible...

Koshka very lonely too today. She just wants to sit next to or on me always.

Well on the downside the Tories have the larger number of MPs but on the upside they need help to ruin the country.

According to BBC election results half a million wankers voted BNP. For shame!

Polls open since 7am yesterday and people turn up late in the evening and complain they can't vote. Whose fault? Hmm???

Some hope I guess. Tory barsteward didn't make win in this neck of the woods.

And the blind and angry doth vote for a Tory who will cut their jobs, schools and hospitals. Only later will they understand what they did.

Fingers crossed CameronSlug does win and give money to his rich friends instead of schools and hospitals.

Completed civic duty. Voted for LibDems to keep Tory gits out of this area. Labour man unlikely to win here.

Joanna off to Poland today to attend her mothers funeral. Sad day. Am going to miss her.

Wonderful how whisky tastily helps one forget ones worries.

mind you Labour and Libdems be warmed too!

Would be terrible for the Tories to destroy this country but then if they must win Mervin King thinks it could destroy them. http://ping.fm/XnHkZ
