New shiny

I’m sitting in front of two machines, both belong to work. My laptop belongs to work. The other computers in the house – and there are a few – do not have my name on. So if I want to just browse the net, or do non-work stuff I have to do this on a [...]

Hiding a little

On 2 Feb I found a site that was centered around mental health and experiences. It appeared to be quite new and such sites are far less intimidating then those with established members who have already set the world in order so I thought I’d join. In a couple of months I expect to have [...]

Number 5

Starbucks in Leicester the staff have always been polite. There may be a touch of work-weary there at times but polite is always there. London they were good. The Starbucks in San Francisco I don’t remember. In New York it was straightforward. It wasn’t rude, more like “You want coffee I’ll give it you – [...]

Took me well over twice the time it should have done to get from the hotel to nulabs, I managed to miss the Starbucks, missed what the map says is an Apple Store but we have those at home so no loss. What we don’t have is the colorful signage, or so many cars that [...]

Until her sickness do us part: why men leave ill partners Men are seven times more likely than women to leave a seriously ill partner, a study has found. So why are males less able to cope? Times Online I joined a forum recently for me. Nothing at all to do with Jacq. I joined [...]

I want

to go to Spain, or Portugal or Italy for 2 weeks. No internet. Just cafes, bars and eateries. No TV, maybe a newspaper. Maybe no laptop though playing Infocom would be nice. Books. Newspapers, crosswords, coffee, chatting but lots of silence too. Lots of sleep. For things to slow, be calm, relaxed. A rest. 3 [...]

pqrst

So I said there were no worries…. Everything was normal yesterday morning. Nothing at all unusual. At some point mid-late morning (I forget the time. It’s in irc logs but it doesn’t matter) I had just chatted with Hanni on skype and gone afk from irc as I felt odd. Literally a few moments later [...]
