Still without a car, and likely to remain so for some time. So I’m getting in lots of walking. So long as I keep it to a sensible level, it’s not being too hard. Without a car, shopping is the big problem. There are buses into town from the village, but that’s half a mile […]

My iPod arrived today – wo0t!! It took me a while to figure out the touchpad controls, and I’m still trying to find out how to turn the damm thing off to save the battery. But I can now have music whenever I want it. Which won’t be all the time, or even most of […]
…and we hardly knew ye…. Despite Buttercup being a low-slung Fiat, B would drive it along the most incredibly rough, rocky forest trails. On almost every trip, rocks would bang against the underside. B always dismissed my worries – but the inevitable happened on Sunday. He came home from another forest trip (by himself), with […]
…so I’ve been having a think over the last few days and resolved a few internal issues. So (touch wood) I won’t be posting many more self-pitying whinges in here. One of the things I decided on was that I can and should break out of set routines when I get bored with them. So, […]
Well, I didn’t get out for a walk today – it was raining on and off. Also, we decided to start some housecleaning in preparation for next weekend, and B started putting carpet tiles on the stairs. Also, the car seems to have fixed itself – originally, B thought it was the ignition/immobiler system at […]
…or trying to plan… Over the last couple of months, I’ve been getting a feeling that I should be doing more with my life. Every day is pretty much the same and it’s getting hard to avoid a feeling of ennui. Not having any money has a lot to do with it – trying to […]
After posting yesterday’s bout of self-pitying neepery, I switched off the comp and went outside to take in the evening. There’s a field outside our door, where sheep graze. It’s just one of several linked fields they spend their days wandering in and out of, following the grazing; it has a couple of pens in […]
I’ve decided to give up on developing a CMS for the Oakleaf Circle site. It’s just too difficult for me to hack any sort of directory-type listing. So I’ll crack on with updating the old site – I’ve well behind with that. I’ll probably mess around with the design a bit, refresh it. Generally, I’m […]
Woes, woes, woes. Last night, I decided (because I was bored and peed off with learning the ins and outs of various CMSs – I’m still trying to find some easy, simple CMSs for future clients – WordPress is getting a bit heavyweight nowadays, with too perhaps many bells and whistles for a n00b to […]
…is how I’m feeling today. Tired, out of sorts, and my left knee is giving it some welly. Hope I’m not coming down with the bug that Son came around with last week. Seem to be coming up against frustrations and impediments with everything. Short of money (so what’s new?), can’t seem to get the […]
