Off to work soon…WooHoo!!! I love tromping round a town full of druggies in and out of council shitpits up to my elbows in chip fat and cat litter! I completed my Commercial Gas Training so I could get away from this, I’m guessing all this weeks work was booked last week anyhow and they may wait for my certificates before letting me loose on an industrial scale, so I’m happy to wait… for a bit.
Still hasn’t rained yet, 6.1mm on my rain guage since the end of March and we had the driest April on record, not great for my Antirhynums, anyway must go and wade my way through Hastings ensuring people are safe and unlikely to die from carbon-monoxide poisoning so they can instead contract botulism, diphtheria & aids.

I keep logging in and starting to write a post then giving up, so this time I am determined to complete this. Currently waiting for a phone call from ‘Transport’ a division of the company I work for that look after all the shitty vans they have, because mine has broken down again! The last time it wouldn’t go into reverse gear so I took it into their workshop, while I was there two other broken down vans arrived. Later in the day I had to give up my replecement van because one of their Transits’ radiators had blown up. I sometimes wonder if it’s economically viable to buy old shitty high milage vans and respray them rather than fleet hire. I’m also fed up of changing vans as now I have no idea where any of my stock is and my tools are all over the shop.
Right I’m off to clear it out, the recovery guy has just rung and is on his way…woohoo!

Throwing out the feelers and all is calm as I peruse possibilities of hidden disturbances in the darkness of our space, I sense nothing. Whether that’s good or bad I am yet to find out. I spent a fantastic evening with Lisa at the Hertsmonceaux Observatory on an open evening in conjunction with BBC’s stargazing events, although it was cloudy and saw little in the way of cellestial embodiments, we did open up one of the domes and spin it around, I also met some amateur radio guys who adorned a radio telescope and we listened to the magnetic flux of Jupiter and one of it’s moons IO, the latter of which we slowed down by 100 times and it sounded mysterious beyond comprehension, another station was on 144.800MHz, a well known packet frequency linking amateur weather stations across the south, getting my interest uprising again. We then dissapeared for dinner at the Treacle Mine. I must make a point of getting out more, especially in the best of company minus the inane racket of childhood enthusiasm.

2.30am and unable to sleep, so got up and had a cuppa tea. Productive day around the house(flat) managed to arrange the living room slightly better, had a general clear up. Visit to the gym and devised an upper body circuit routine including abs and obliques which I will keep up, along with some leg presses working the hip abductors, quadriceps and gluteus muscles. I certainly feel I am toning already after just 3 weeks 🙂 I’m back to work from Monday and I’m hoping my busy days will give me plenty of exercise as frankly, aerobic exercising at the gym is bloody mind numbing, I much prefer cycling or a brisk walk outdoors. Spoke to an Amercan fella in the health suite who is a Vietnam veteran, turns out he is on Warfarin and has several complaints due to a chemical accidentally(?) sprayed on troops, interesting bloke.
Well it’s 3am, am I tired yet? Not really… more tea 🙂

Good start to week, made a few job applications this morning before filling out a new claim for tax credits…again. Had a phone call from Booker and Best about a Gas Service Engineer role, will have to ask them if I can have the time to get whatever modules I require off my own back , they will probably tell me to sod off but I wont know without asking. One thing I forgot is that I am looking after Ava tomorrow so will have to move the time of the appointment. Did a couple of hours down the gym as missed out Saturday and Sunday. Was hoping to get a phone call from Lisa this evening as I’m wondering how Ava has been today, we did speak earlier but she seemed eager to get off, I would ring her but I put £5 credit on my phone and used it all up on hold to bloody Talk Talk, it ran out as soon as they picked up so didn’t get to speak to anyone anyway, life can suck sometimes! Also have to talk to Shane about moving this Lemsworld site soon too.

Today the south was hit by snow bigtime, 16 inches in places we however had barely 1 inch. But it snowed all day but was thawing as fast as it was falling so no real accumulation except in the odd sheltered spot. As the temp dropped it continued to snow and settle but it wasn’t heavy and then soon stopped, how crap. -2 outside now so all slush has gone crusty with a thin layer of snow over, wierd. So I rang work in the morning anticipating chaos trying to get in and told them I would work from home on the code emailed the day before. I dug out my development board, eventually found the serial lead. Dwonloaded the software and off I went…trying to write code to the micro, no chance, everything else worked fine, it compiled no problem, the software eventually found the dev board on the serial port and it seemed to write but came up with some odd error message which did my head in for 2 hours so I went to Maplins to buy a new Microcontroller, but they didnt have any, web only! Sod ’em. Im now getting quite bored writing this so I feel sorry for anyone reading it, so I’ll do us both a favour and bog off to bed…night.
