Waiting, waiting...

While I am informed that DVD releases being delayed is no unusual thing, I'm still disappointed that I have to wait 2 more weeks at least for my Press Gang S2 DVD.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to watch my Jonathan Creek box sets, or proof, or get Andrew to bring our copy of Pirates of the Caribbean (CotBP) down. (Part of my anniversary gift to us. Together 5 years now, wow!)

Or I could sort out the study, or clean the house up, or do that puzzle Anna gave me for Xmas, or, well, I'm not lacking things to do obviously :)

Fridge better!

The repair guy diagnosed my fridge problems (freezer worked, fridge part barely below ambient) as 'iced up the wazoo'. Lots of digging of ice out later the fridge was left to defrost to remove the ice in places that the repairman cannot reach. Since it was off anyway, towards the end of this time I decided a clean out and up would not be a bad thing, so I now have a clean, cold, working fridge. Now all I have to do is get new stuff to put in it.

Ironing done. Washing up mostly done. House not looking unbearably untidy. Even more or less up to date with my financial records. Given my energy levels at the moment this is frankly astonishing, but I guess if I try to do things in the evening hours where my energy appears to be peaking then all is good.

Cool review by Grant of the Press Gang Season 1 DVD collection. Had already got S1, have S2 on preorder and should be winging its way over from the UK sometime soon :)

Apparently the season 1 DVD was one of Network's best selling releases this year, along with 'A very peculiar practice'.

Looking forward to Season 2. With extras!

Sleepy...

Either I am very tired of late, or, more likely my work/social patterns are not matching what my body clock wants. I'm not enjoying rising for work, I get tired again mid afternoon till about 6ish, then around 8pm or so I feel more awake and can continue happily until 2am. Of course if I do so then the next morning's rise is even more unpleasant.

Either I have to try to get earlier nights and force my body clock to accomodate, or if that doesn't work try to find another reason for my tiredness.

Oh well, with luck the guy coming to look at my fridge tomorrow will fix it and I will be able to store perishables in the fridge part again.

I get Monday off!!!

The uni this year seemed to have trouble deciding which public holidays the uni was open or closed for. Each subsequent email confusing me further, however today's email left no room for confusion. The uni is closed on Monday and I get to stay home! (Yay!)

Of course this means I'll probably spend some of the day doing those little jobs I never have time to do otherwise, but I might have my Nanna over to visit which would be good.

Now if only this persistent mild headache would go away.

Andrew is a happy happy camper. His new monitor has arrived and he is still basking in the glow of new geek toy ownership. And of course increased productivity :)
