Funny old world
Everything seems to be failing at the moment too. After work on Tuesday, I returned home just as a thunderstorm was brewing, so I decided to go up to my room and unplug my PC, just in case (I’ve known people have all sorts of hell claiming on insurance for lightening damage). So I went downstairs, watched TV for a bit and had my dinner… I returned upstairs as the storm was dying down to go and check my email, only to find a puddle of water on the floor in my room, and a patch of the ceiling dripping down into the top of my TV! Luckily my TV was turned off when I unplugged my computer, and after drying out it’s now working fine, but this was not the end of it…
While sitting waiting for the thunder to subside, I also noticed that the fridge is making a _really_ dodgy noise, and is probably going to pack up at some point soon. To top that off on Thursday morning when I hopped into the shower I found out the hard way that it wasn’t heating the water… fuck.
Work at the moment is very interesting, currently working on a system which I will be going down south to install in the next couple of weeks, so it’ll be nice to get some travel in :-)
Rather worryingly I’ve started looking at getting another car, don’t think I can afford it yet, but there are some rather major costs coming up on the fiesta, so its looking more attractive every day. Unfortuately I’m a fussy bugger.

Splendid Weekend
I write this on a lovely summers evening, watching the last of the sun set, sat on the garden swing, listening to some random streaming chillout music, with a bottle of lager... almost bliss
Had a really splendid weekend, headed down to cardiff after work, and headed to a massive club with nermal and dan... it turned out that they played what might have been the best music line up that I've ever heard, second only to the Judge Jules.... Must got to proper clubs more often... The next day was also superbly relaxed, heading into town about 2pm and not getting back until 11pm after spending 6 hours in Cardiff bay generally milling about and stuff. :)
Recieved my properjob [tm] contract today too, so need to sort that out tomorrow... now I'd better go inside, the moths are being attracted to my screen light...
