A general update

Last weekend I went to a LAN at an old friend's in Bristol. It was a small and friendly LAN; the host cooked breakfast and dinner for us every day. OMG the food was SO nice! I asked him how much for him to come and cook for me but he just laughed. Ah well.

After I've finished this current project at werk (hopefully within a couple of weeks), I plan to take some holiday, in which I plan to tend my rapidly overgrowing garden, rearrange my utility area and swap over the fridge-freezers, go through PC bits and create a new faster PC for J, and just generally relax.

I may be up for visiting people or doing whatever too. Leave me a comment if you'd like me to visit, probably on my bike..

Prank call..?

I just received a very strange phone call on my work phone from a young woman who sounded like she was trying to put on 'airs'. I could hear traffic noises. She talked about something - I couldn't decide if she was a sales drone, someone I knew, or what. Consequently I don't recall all of what she said, especially as it didn't make a lot of sense.

She said something about going down to the shops for cigarettes and a book. Then she talked about Charles Dickens and said that she thought his book was a bunch of *expletives deleted* - kind of how you might imagine a tourettes outburst might sound like. After a slightly stunned silence on my part I asked "Who is this?" but realised they'd already hung up.

How strange!
