Friday

All sorts of good things!
- Jose Cura as Samson at the Royal Opera House last night: sublime. (More later).

- 120 gig more disk space than I had when I woke up

- finally made up for insufficient sleep on Sunday night (impossible to balance out while getting up at 6 for Paid Employment, and tiredness makes the joint problem a lot worse, so I've felt rough all week: but now the ache and the dizziness have disappeared and I can do things!)

- day off with no stupid clients to bother me, as they refused to organise themselves enough to agree to a meeting.

- had some excellent news yesterday. Congratulations! (You know who you are.)

- and Genghis (named by ladymoonray, who tells me I must read Tricia Sullivan's Maul -- I'd intended to do so anyway, but this prioritises it) has been decanted!

Me Brave Hunter

Nearly caught Genghis' little pal. I touched it! Little furry bastard.

Have just installed shiny new 120G drive. Spent a long time plugging and unplugging power cables: then fired up the PC and waited for the Plug'n'Pray screen to come up.

And waited.

And waited.

Was just about to fire off despairing email to supplier when I noticed I had an F drive, rather than just A, C, D and E ...

Copying 38G of classical MP3s. Pretty shiny blue light.

In other not-news-at-all, I've realised why I occasionally overeat when I'm particularly busy around the flat. Nothing to do with burning extra calories: it's the fact that when I stop to eat, I sit down (albeit usually in front of email) and stop doing housework, watering plants, chasing the Horde etc.

Running late but still going for a swim: the rain has cleared and it's a lovely mild afternoon.
