My god, it's that time again..

[azekeil]

Wow, a life update! I've not done one of these for a while. Lesse, how do these things go again?

Mostly busy, productive and purposeful at work. This is a Good Thing™. Got completely caught out by the lovely duranorak at work yesterday, but it was lovely too *blows kiss* ;)

Turns out ev1ldonut was able to WFH today, so I picked him up last night and we rode to kissycat1000's. We didn't ride at 130mph in places, nor did I surprise myself (and ev1ldonut *grin*) by grinding my pegs on the M5/A40 roundabout..

I installed the new graphics card provided by jikatal in J's machine. Didn't have time to get the right drivers installed. J had a minor tantrum. Oops.

Went out to the Air Balloon pub for a nice meal in the evening and had upbeat conversations about the future :). Also failed to get hold of jikatal to enquire about the correct drivers for the card.

Got back and installed the ceiling fan in the lounge (don't worry gashinryu, we've left the bedroom one for you!). That was an effort and a half. Had to retreat at one point and drill pilot holes due to screws getting graunched (technical terms ahoy).

Fixed J's drivers despite botched attempts to get hold of jikatal, while ev1ldonut finished off the fan installation. The fan is unbalanced, which concerns kissycat1000. Might be correctable with some fiddling..

Crashed and burned.

I'm going straight from work to my Mum's this weekend. Sister's back from Spain with what now turns out to be two broken arms due to an unfortunate incident with a scooter (hers). Seems like it's turned into a major family event to celebrate various relatives retiring and birthdays and what have you, so that will be fun but hard work no doubt.

Then it's back to Bristol on Sunday to go to dylan's housewarming where I will see kissycat1000 and ev1ldonut of course, as well as florence90 and kittiewitch and probably a whole other bunch of reprobates as well.

Undecided on how to get there. I can either drink and stay for a short while, or not drink and stay for longer. Am erring towards drinking and staying for a short while (still a good few hours hopefully).

Should be WFH on Monday so I get to see gashinryu and blaadyblah plus kids (*yay*).

That's it folks! Back to work for me. *waves*

I picked him up last night

Wierd, I'd always assumed that ev1ldonut was a she...

Lol! You should check userpics more often :p

[diffrentcolours]

I block images from userpic.livejournal.com because it's so slow... I block images from quizilla.com because they're bloody annoying ;)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I personally like seeing users icons, even if they are slow to load :) I feel they're an important part of a person's LJ presence.

[gerald_duck]

Indeed! How else would we know that you're in the habit of snogging bright green fish with erectile tongues?

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Well, exactly ;)

[diffrentcolours]

Well, I used to browse LJ in lynx, so I suppose I'm used to not having user icons...

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

Not been accused of that one before!

[gashinryu.livejournal.com]

don't worry gashinryu, we've left the bedroom one for you!

Woohoo! Bedroom. Mmmmmm... :-)

You mean you didn't do that to start with. Tsk, tsk... ;-)

Yay back! Our PC access will be limited over the weekend, so if you need to get hold of us, I'll have my mobile. See you Monday. :-D

/me frisks mobile for your number and discovers he doesn't have it. No worries, kissycat1000 does :)

~catches kiss~ Thank you. :)

Good to see an update - best of luck for the weekend, love. ~hug~ Talk to you on the other side of it no doubt. :)

So, do I get extra beers in or not? Can I give you a lift back afterwards so you can drink and stay for a long time? It would be good to spend more time with you mate, as I've not seen you much since the ride

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

I was planning to go back to Cheltenham after your bash. But now you've made me realise I could potentially stay in Bristol and go up the following morning.

Although instead of changing arrangements around horribly, and trying to squeeze in a good natter around hectic social stuff, I suggest we plan to try and see each other during the week sometime..?

[dylan.livejournal.com]

Why don't we not plan anything, I'll get a few beers in and we'll see how it goes on the day :)
