I spent most of today binge watching "Wednesday" on Netflix. Holy heck did they not pull any punches. Season 2 apparently starts filming at the end of April for release next year and I am here for it. I'll be very interested in who they bring in for some now-vacant positions, those last fe...

Afternoon! Well, that was a weekend. Went to Bristol to meet bro's family who then came to stay with us for a few days. My niece turned 3 going on 13 today so she's learning how to assert herself. And how to tantrum (including stomp) when she doesn't get her way. She also discovered Uncle Jim doesn'...

@Gary: That's why I keep the phone number for IT Support on my personal cell. Glad it got sorted eventually! Been measuring up for furniture and finalising blind decisions today. Tomorrow I need to research desks - the one I wanted is too big. Need to be able to bring the monitor forward so a keyboa...

Does your new place have a garden? Plants help against depression. Remember to give me your new address! I had planned to have a vacation in GB this year (preferably on Lundy plus a few days in London) but there are too many important meetings and stuff. But I'll try to come over next year No garde...

I've had depression on and off for years, and I know the cause. Hoping to deal with it when I finally move into my own place. Last year was the kick that said "move now... Or else."

Photographs aplenty. Deciding on window blinds, walls are painted. The whole place is bedecked in sheets and plastic covers are protecting kitchen units and windows. I have my eye on a corner desk on Amazon. CASART L-shaped Computer Desk, 170cm Reversible Corner Desk with Drawers, Cabinet & Keyb...

I asked ChatGPT to explain why it's "Good" Friday: Good Friday is called "good" not because of the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus, but because of the significance of what His death represents for Christians. The term "good" in this context is thought to denote &quo...

Interesting. The UK doesn't have an army with Generals? Does it have a Royal Navy with Admirals? Obviously we have generals, but The General implies a specific one, which is what I was referring to - usually if it's coming from Americans, you mean Washington in the War of Independence, or whoever i...

Morning! Not sure who The General is... Only time I've heard that is in relation to the American Civil War, or maybe War of Independence, I forget which? It's completion day! Just waiting for a call to go collect keys, then I can start the fun of arranging power/water, etc. :) And this weekend I wil...

Thanks for the well wishes! Completion is Friday, so I get the keys then. I will move some stuff over immediately to act as an encampment/forward base and spend a few weeks getting a new bed, sofa, etc, all of which take time to deliver so I'm expecting to be fully moved in by April. :) Basically my...

Evening all! University has been slaying me for a year now, and in 2 days I will, at age 41, be a homeowner. (Nice 2-bed apartment.) It'll take a few months to buy furniture etc, but hoping to be up and running by early April.

Extremely glad I picked Norway and not Paris for my week away... rioting the past 2 nights!

Heading out Saturday. Cold is mostly cleared up.

The cough/cold I've got can do that on its own.

IBS happened. No repeat performance today, so far.
