wrong weather

Hmm. I left for work this morning with Durham Cathedral bathed in glorious sunshine. I got to work this morning with Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge swathed in grim smog. What's wrong with this picture?!

graduation

Tuesday, 27 June 2006 11:01 P GMT+01
There are days when I really love doing my job. That's my other job. I couldn't go to graduation today because of my other other job, but I was there (traffic notwithstanding) for them coming out. Days like graduation remind me why I love being a tut

When I did my masters, with the title above, there wasn't much. And when the Bayeux Tapestry Research Project went out in style at the Culturel International de Cerisy-la-Salle there wasn't exactly a hookup to the latest kit in the chateau. But at le

Ian sent me this yesterday (thankyou). Interesting take on the how-do-people-see-you-reflected-in-facebook issue. Or rather, interesting way of dealing with it. So I thought  I'd share with you my groups of the week: In third place: We've done t

Hmm, Must have been the sex on the beach that had me wide awake at 8am  In full recollection of the red being a chateau something and a 96 bordeaux, beyond that I'd recognise the label but it's too blurred to remember the other [crucial, beginni

formal dinner

Saturday, 17 June 2006 12:34 A GMT+01
Just home from college, last formal of term. Thought for some too-long time some bugger had nicked my gown. But no, SCR president didn't bother checking the dinner plan before inching a gown. It's a graduate gown, with sweeties in the sleeve. He

more little birds

Tuesday, 13 June 2006 11:18 P GMT+01
Desperate measures. Well, bloody mad measures have seen me just lock my cat flap with Max on the inside. Either the mummy bird made a crap nest, or my cat has become a hunter extraordinare, because he just brought another fledgling (from the mar

Hmmm. Am seeing a pattern in Groups A & B. Fabulous early goal in first game, then an upset in the second. I was screaming like a banshee for Ivory Coast  in the last five minutes, I tell you... Probably with every other English fan. Hope Av

Oh I hate this. This is the not the first time this has happened. The first I went helplessly to a neighbour. The second I managed myself, and I hate myself now too. Max has just brought a baby bird in, young enough not to be able to fly, too damaged

uniforms

All the nice girls love a sailor, huh? There's something about a uniform... I had a conversation with Phil last year about whether he treated vicars (visibly with collar) any differently to ordinary users. He said yes. (said conversation just happene
