There, I have slightly redone the blog. Better not look at the code though, it's a total bodge job. Ah well. It works in Explorer. I'm scared to test it in anything else. ;)

You may notice that I have made the type face larger. I was having trouble reading the monitor from my bed, so I thought I'd give in and admit my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. How terrible it is to grow old. And let's face it, a geek's eyes are more likely to wear out, what with the whole 'focussing just past the monitor screen' problem that my optician warned me about.

*sigh*

Anyway, what have I done since last blogging? Let me see... on Friday last week my brother came to visit. Hooray! Ali had gone to Swansea, Wales, for her friend's wedding rehearsal. (Someone has to learn how weddings are supposed to go, and it might as well be my best person.) With her out of the picture, we decided to make like kings, and eat and drink and be merry! (Or something.) And that is how Rob, John and I ended up in the pub, eating and, er, being merry.

John had come to visit with the excuse that we were going to a seminar on Saturday. Well, it was a Christian music thing, with a... can't find a link. Hmm, this will have to do. It had Stuart Townend teaching us new songs, and some of the members of Phatfish, who are a cool band. Except now everyone says I have to grow a beard if I'm going to continue to play the bass guitar. Oh no!

There was a free book too, with sheet music in it. And it was free to get in. Woo!

Hmm. That was about it for Saturday.

Apart from... EUROVISION!!!!

Yes, the yearly fun event that showcases Europe's best music. :p

It wasn't as good as it has been, although the Ukraine's winning entry "Wild Dancing" was great. I was surprised that Germany entered something that was actually quite good (their stuff tends to be... odd), and Holland's was good too. And obviously Turkey. I won't talk about it much because James and Ali have already talked about Eurovision, but... an entertaining night's TV. :)

Sunday we all went to church. In the afternoon John strimmed the lawn, I weeded (took a while to decide whether some of the plants were weeds or not, but hey), then we all decided to wash our cars. Not that I have a car. I helped Rob, and Ali and John washed their own cars. And then we had a barbecue! Mark came, and Harriet and Will. And Phil turned up, but he wasn't invited, he just has this ability to turn up when food's being cooked. Hehe.

So that was fun. But then John went away and things got more boring. Back to work, back to reality, back to boredom.

I did have to go do the doctor's today though, for those anti-baby pills. It's still scary. ;)

I have been mostly.... READING: edge magazine; utopia (lincoln child) / WATCHING: eurovision (bbc 1) / LISTENING: hatful of rain (del amitri) / PLAYING: battlefield vietnam; the saga of ryzom
