So cold

Stupid cold weather. I wanted to be on campus nice and early this morning. Then Storm didn’t want to start from the cold. When I got her started, I drove down to the petrol station to fill up. The filler cap was frozen, and I couldn’t get the key in. So I bought some de-icer… Read More »

Lots of stuff

I’m tired. I’ve been working quite a lot, recently. I’m hoping to cut my hours down to 2 days a week so I can spend more time with Hannah, and spend more time on my uni work. I’ve spent quite a lot of time on my SEC coursework. I should probably have just let my… Read More »

Job!

I got the job as projectionist at the new AMC cinema in Fiveways. I’m actually quite looking forward to it. I start on the 6th October and I have to go up to Manchester at some point for training. This week has been one of those annoying “registration” affairs. I had to go into Nottingham… Read More »

New Term

Well, I’m about to start back at uni. It’s going to be quite weird, I think. This week is just admin rubbish, next week lectures. I had an interview with AMC Theatres last week for a job as a projectionist, which I think could be very cool. I was shown around the projection rooms, which… Read More »

Ouch

My arms hurt. I keep hitting Capslock instead of shift and my hands can’t grip anything. I just carried a 21kg TV back from Currys to the flat. A distance of just under a kilometre, according to “map24.com”:http://www.map24.com/ but it felt like miles. I hurt. That is all.

Information Overload

I’ve been generally faffing the last week. Actually, it’s been quite a busy week, thinking about it. Last weekend seems a long time ago. On monday we had cable installed. I have spent quite a lot of time playing with stuff this week to make stuff work on the network. I think I’ll write that… Read More »

Broadband, boing

The Telewest men arrived this morning at 10.10 (they said they’d be coming between 10am and 2pm, so not bad at all) and did their thing. I asked for them to install the Cable Modem on the Ethernet port, which they did. Then, after they left I set about trying to make it work with… Read More »

New Beginnings

A lot has happened since my last post. I’ll try to be reasonably brief… We did eventually move into our flat reasonably smoothly. We hired a pretty big Luton van (it had a tail-lift and everything, fun!) which I drove. We picked it up at 8am, drove home, and then it was all hands on… Read More »

Of Holidays, Landlords and Vans

Well, what a palaver. We had a nice holiday in Anglesey. Relaxing, but we managed to fit in some fun/interesting stuff too. In brief, went to a Roman Fort, a slate museum, a castle and a museum of childhood. Beached a bit and climbed Snowdon. We also got a bit of an earth-shattering call from… Read More »

Coca-cola

Holidays are coming, holidays are coming! Looking forward to holiday time. We’re going up to Anglesey on Friday and staying for 9 days. We’re camping “here”:http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=260660&Y=378750&A=Y&Z=3 (I hope 🙂 Hopefully the weather will be nice so we can enjoy the beaches. Had a totally knackering day on Saturday. Got up early and drove down to… Read More »
