So this weekend was the Easter of the Wedding. Rather than hiding chocolate eggs, or sleeping in some bizarre location on a hike team, I spent this year's Easter at weddings for 2 of my favourite girls – Lineke and Athalie. I don't usually get all gushy at the idea of describing weddings, but maybe…
I started typing this out the other night and then Internet Exploder decided to unceremoniously crash, so now I'm even further from being in the mood to type it again. Thursday was a fairly important turning point – I put in my letter at work announcing my intention to move to the UK. I've got…
Goddamn people give me the shits. Well, drivers in particular. I've whinged about this before as I recall, but it's about time to revisit the topic. Shopping centre car parks are a seething violent cesspool of anger and malevolence. It's not so bad in the city, because generally people are in there for a longer…
Whooooa boy oh boy oh boy – what a way to go, eh ? In order to get rid of my fairly extensive collection of Scotch, I decided to get a few people who have a deep & moving love for the stuff around to my place, as well as a few choice nibbles, and…
Just a short note this time – on Sunday I swapped the numberplates on my car over ready to sell it to Mike. Weird feeling. Sort of “end of an era” type stuff. I guess some of the strangeness came from the fact I've never sold a car before. The Datsun died a horrific death…
Oh wondrous day, the moving finally took place! Well, that is to say, the bulk of it got done volume-wise. Now all that remains is the other 10% of my stuff, which of course is the bit that takes 90% of the time to actually shift. But let's not get too downhearted ! For what's…
This 'not moving' thing is getting a bit tired. Mind you, if I hadn't completely wiped myself out on whiskey then some more stuff MAY have gotten done. This was my third attempt at moving my stuff back over to Mum & Dad's, and godammit I got pretty close this time, but it wasn't meant…
How exciting! The whisper of spring must have just made it into the fishtank at home (albeit somewhat late), because Mike was excited to point out last night – he's gonna be a daddy! Well, after a fashion, anyway. It appears that 2 of the Angelfish have got the horn and dumped a load of…
It has recently been drawn to my attention that some CD's are better than others for waking one up in the morning. The other week I was fine, because I had the soundtrack from “Brazil” in my CD player, and that kicks off with a great trumpet fanfare. I swapped it over after a short…
On Saturday I took some stuff over to my parents' place to commence The Move (which didn't get very far at all really), and discovered a fairly radical change in arrangements in that neck of the woods. I knew that the house next door had been sold, but I didn't realise it had been demolished….
