YEA! Vcat.

I guess this mean I'm going to have to give it a try sometime. Maybe this winter when I can't be outside.

i'm listening to some interviews i recorded of my grandmother telling me about her childhood and her life during the war. hearing the stories of the adventures (and misadventures) she had sometimes i'm amazed she survived it. the expression "i've always depended on the kindness of strangers" comes to mind ; she was really lucky, she met so many kind people who helped her out. she was quite young during those years, not even 20 years old, and more often than not she was all alone. i try to imagine being in situations like that ; i really don't know if i could have managed it.

Thinking about going to bed.

Started the day with a trip to the recycling center to get rid of the remains of one of our old sofas that I dismantled last night (it was doing a god job of dismantling itself to be honest).

Then did the weekly shopping.

Then over to Ikea to buy the first two of the new bookcases (to replace two that are 20+ years old and falling apart) and some storage boxes, which I assembled.

Then took down the net curtain and old curtain rail in the lounge, replacing them with a venetian blind and a new curtain wire supporting a pair of sheer fabric curtains...

It's been all go this weekend!

Work, work, work.

Gotta love writing software manuals while fictional characters dance intriguing scenarios in your head...

So why is it that it seems like the Eurobean contingent on MR has more trouble getting to bed at a reasonable hour than I think anyone else?

(1am, guess where I should be?)

Good idea! All that sun in the middle of the night, it's indecent.

Not to mention wandering around in bikinis all day. Night. Whatever.
