You know, now I have my digital camera (and a lovely case and rechargable batteries I bought on eBay) I can take pictures of things to show you all! Not that anyone looks on here. Maybe I should start doing that website I thought of ages ago, the interesting buildings of Leicester one. If I ever have time. :)
Alternatively, I could take pictures of Hovis the hamster. Woo!
It looks like we could be moving as soon as the end of August into our new house! Phil and Emma (whose house we're buying) have had their offer accepted and that's their rough moving date. The house they're buying is empty, you see. Scary. We'll have to get our proof of identity documents sent off to the solicitor ASAP.
Another exciting eBay purchase arrived today after over two weeks of waiting (it was from Russia... from someone called Igor, wow) - a copy of
The Servant's album. I raved about them ages ago. You probably don't remember. Anyway, I bought it from Igor because apparently Russian copies are quite common and UK copies are like gold dust! Even if someone like Amazon did have it in stock it would have cost more, and mine has a lovely Russian copyright notice on the back. So, yay!
And
Chris Moyles has started doing a podcast (best of his Radio 1 show), so I've told my Ipod (I feel like such a sheep, but Rob bought it, I've just appropriated it) to download it. Excellent.
That's about it for now. My brother and parents are coming to visit, they should be here within the hour, so that'll be fun. :D
Bye!
Wow I'm bored. Been playing for a bit but it was, well, boring. Maybe partly because we ended up playing with another guy we didn't know. (
World of Warcraft, if you were wondering.)
Spent quite a lot of time today reading about cascading style sheets. It made my brain hurt trying to understand using div and span and id and cascading and positioning. Aargh. Don't think I accomplished much except making myself want to give up on it all!
Only other exciting thing of the day was buying trainers, oooh.
Hmm, well, found another thing I'd like for my birthday...
Fujifilm 512MB XD cardFor my new camera, which I finally got from the insurance people! Yay.
Bye for now then. :D
Since I last posted, well, obvious things have happened like the London bombings. There weren't obvious signs of security escalation here in Leicester - I did see two policemen but that was about it. And a security guy at the bus station who was standing around chatting to the guy in the kiosk, but he wasn't paying attention to anything going on around him, so...
My brother John came to visit at the weekend. Hopefully he enjoyed himself, it was all a bit hectic really. I didn't get a lot of time alone with him. I'm hoping when Rob and I have bought our house things it'll be easier to spend time with my family (not that I'm not eternally grateful to
Ali for putting up random members of my family).
The weather's a little cooler, which is nice, and things aren't going too badly. It would be good if I could stop feeling a bit ill, but apparently I'm not the only one who's a bit under the weather all the time. Mum says it's being married. ;)
We've all been playing
Lego Star Wars on the PS2, which is great fun! I never would have thought it. Hooray!
I'm trying to think of things I want for my birthday, although there's not a lot of point putting them on here since I don't have that many online friends any more. Somehow I've drifted away from it all. I do spend more time with friends in real life, which may be healthier, but still...
So, my birthday, which is less than a month away (oh how exciting). Let me see.
Can't think of anything else, eep!
James, we've been trying to e-mail you for ages and haven't heard back, is your e-mail working?
