I hab a code

Yep, the lurgi has gotten me, so far I'm not stuffed up, just a slight sore throat and a bit of a drip but still trying to stay away from people with fragile immune systems.

Been proofing some old roman philosophers, they had some very odd ideas is all I can say really.
I can now transliterate greek fairly quickly with only minimal recourse to a transliteration table.

So I'm proofing, a nice sedentary task, trying to get enough liquids and trying to keep warm. (laptops make good lapwarmers)

Watched a UK new series on friday called Blue Murder, starring Caroline Quentin (Maddy from the first few seasons of Jonathan Creek) liked it so far. Nice characters. Brits do quirky well. Definitely want to watch pt 2.

One of Andrew's sisters has reported in her alive and wellness from Paris, lucky girl is having a nice round the world trip. Settlers won't be the same without her here. We might win occasionally.

Time for more fluid intake. :)

Smile time.

Saw that episode of Angel this week. What can I say? (Probably not too much in case some people haven't seen it. I know I wish I'd had less spoilers going in)

I know it has probably changed the way I will see any edutainment program in the future. A classic, classic episode.

Awake but not glad to be....

I do seem to have managed it this week. I've been actually waking up, and more importantly, getting up when my alarm goes off. Of course this has been aided by the use of my mobile phone as an alarm. It wasn't that useful when it was on my bedside table, but now that I've got it on the other side of the room it seems to be working much better. Once I'm up and moving I can generally keep going. I do have an actual alarm clock over there that beeps just before the phone, but it stops eventually. The phone pauses briefly and then starts beeping again until I can't stand the noise any longer.

Now if I can only feel awake I will be happy. Well, happier.

Monday blues

Well it's still Sunday night but I'm not exactly jumping for joy at going back to work. I don't know if it's the weather or what but I've been having more and more trouble getting up in the mornings.

Hopefully it's just the weather. Must remember to upload the changes I made to the work I was doing to the server before I go in tomorrow.

Well it's getting late and I still have a half hour drive before I can collapse into my bed so just a short post tonight.

Getting my blog to match the rest of my color scheme.

Well, I have a Jarrah coffee table (It does look nice.) Wine coloured sofas, wine coloured rug, wine coloured glasses (spectacles) and so I thought with the recent trend in revamping of blogs I'd try to get my blog to match a bit. May do a bit of tweaking still but I quite like the look so far. (Glad I remembered to save my previous template before picking a new one. Managed to get my sidebar back in fairly short order.)

Went to book club this week, (though I should really have read the book I guess) and was a little taken aback by the number of children there were. The adults did outnumber them, just. Bryn is out of PMH and seems to be doing well and Fe and Shay were making their first social appearance with little Aeryn Connor.

Van Helsing

Oh dear, you know a film isn't doing well when a monk (sorry friar) and a corset can steal the show!

New look

Well, I've got new glasses (wine coloured frames, ie a nice slightly purple red) and am getting used to them. I also went furniture shopping on saturday and bought my last 'big' piece of furniture for my place. A nice jarrah coffee table with a smoked glass top inset which I think will look very nice next to my sofas and on my rug.

My bruise is now mostly yellow with a blue/black/purple surround so I'm hoping that will be mostly cleared up in another week. The arm scrape is similarly healing. The tooth I'll just have to wait and see according to the dentist, so no hard foods for me for the next few weeks.

In an attempt not to lose one of my few forms of exercise I got back on my bike today and rode in. So far so good but I've still 'the hill' to face this evening.

It's a bit early to say, but from looking at a couple of pics of Fe and Shay's new bub, he looks like he's taking after his dad.

For those interested in Astronomy the Perth Observatory is trialing a new sky camera that will take pictures of the sky at night from perth observatory.
