Where did the week go?
Bloody Friday already.
So what did I do with my week off? Well, there was a fair amount of kipping, some eating, a lot of de-caff coffee, a disturbingly large amount of talking to one or other of my cats and a smattering of DIY.
There was also a serious amount of worrying about my friend who is not herself at the moment. I have spoken to her a few times on the phone but just can’t think of the right things to say. She is very low and I realised that professionally or personally I am not really equipped for such things. Must do better.
Monday. My 39th birthday. Nice little freelance job. I managed to get some Wi-Fi stuff working after they had given up last November. For once, everthing went well and I not only looked like I knew what I was doing, I think I actually did know what I was doing. Spooky. In fact, apart from 15 mins when an inexplicable problem was traced to me accidentally pulling the cable out of the phone socket, all was tickety boo. On the way home I stopped at my sister’s and got my pressies from her little gang.
Tuesday. Nerd alert. Finally got Wikipedia software running on my own server. Now if I can only work out the syntax of the HTML it uses in it’s articles. The Dukiepedia is so close it hurts. In the evening, Kelvin (ex boss) came over with my birthday presents and also some stuff he got me in New York. Cash in my card (cool) and a M&M World T-Shirt which I have only just stopped wearing and a nice mug. Then we went to see Spiderman 3 and had a pizza. He is without doubt my most techy, geeky friend and I really enjoy sitting in Pizza Hut talking about servers and networks. It’s a shame that we only do this in Pizza Hut about 4 times a year now. We used to do it for 8 hours a day when we shared an office. I don’t remember us ever running out of stuff to talk about either. He enjoyed being reminded that I am now older than he was when we first met either. Well maybe just a bit.
Wednesday. See previous blog entry.
Thursday. Slept in. Almost. Nice 3 hour kip in the morning. Finally painted the rest of the fence during a brief let up in the torrential rain. Not a good idea to paint wet wood but if I didn’t paint it then, it would get waterlogged.
Friday. Today. Took mum to the Dr’s to get her thumb sorted out. Dr’s waiting rooms. Joy. Chinese again.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Oh yes. Haircut.
