Finally I seem to have stopped coughing! I think… I also seem to’ve stopped a lot of other things and am beginning to feel a little displaced. It’s incredible the effect of dropping one tiny M4x10 screw into your car engine can have, now that I know the car is basically shagged, I need to buy another or continue having my whereabouts dictated by my inability to drive. Everything seems to be in slow motion at present, although time in motion cannot be regarded as the present; as the present is a moment in time without a period that can be measured, if it had a beginning and an end then they would be past and future respectively at any point inbetween, so in effect, the present encompasses past, present and future in one unit. Really everything is in the past, as when we witness an event in the present, it actually takes a fraction of a second for neural impulses from our senses to be transmitted to the brain and processed into the reality we consciously perceive, therefore we are actually riding the wake of the present a fraction behind in the past, so the present could be envisaged as the future. As we never catch up with the present, how do we know it actually exists? The future is different as we can fix a time in it and know it will arrive and pass.
Ooops! There I go again off on a tangent, time for bed.

Things are changing at a pace I can’t comprehend, I always thrived with stability but at the moment I have no idea where I am. My car is dead, I stay at Lisa’s during the week as its a half hour walk from work rather than a 2 hour £5 return train journey an hour of which would be walking. I’m looking forward with great anticipation to moving to a new house in the Summer, but it seems such a long way away. I will then hopefully be able to restore my routine at the gym and forge the stable environment I need to thrive. But at a glance, I can see I have something to work towards, a purpose I have craved for all those years I stagnated in my 6×8 room, that purpose will provide a foundation and stability so I can at last be happy.
I’m in a kind of odd mood. Work is quite intensive at the moment, I have to design the PCB layout for a Multiplexer we’ve already sold to BT, the schematics and BOM’s I will complete tomorrow (Friday) having worked on them over the past couple of weeks, with continuous changes to component values and circuit design, this is good as I’ve actually been able to show my worth. A busy week next week and continuing communication with Terry will ensure that a working prototype could be available within two weeks. Apart from work I’ve been a bit shitty, had a damn cough for weeks now, sometimes tickly, sometimes chesty. Coughing up lumps of phlegm every morning on the way to work is common, in the evening I become wheezy, almost asthmatic and cough till I nearly puke. Looking forward to Spring now, even though I love a cold winter, I’m growing tired of this coldy/coughy/wheezy shite going on non-stop.

Another weekend passes, caught up with Cam last night and a few beers down the Lodge became inevitable, to my surprise some old friends turned up in the from of Dave G. and Sara W. and a good time was had by all. Sunday pub lunch with the oldies and Kayleigh today, spent the evening testing virtual DJ software for the up and coming 50th anniversary bash, I am in control of sound and lighting, an area where I will feel very comfortable, I have some ideas and more will flood in to make it a night to remember as any Leman gathering always is.

My day off and I was blessed with the hugest downfall of snow for 18 years! So I had to take advantage… This is where we began.

Hello, I’m a bit bored right now. It’s Sunday and it’s snowing…heavily!!! WooHoo! -1.2 so far in my back garden, so unlikely to melt. More snow predicted for the next 24 Hours, it appears we are having a decent winter much needed, I’ve just reviewed my post in October (click this) where I seem very disappointed about a succession of mild winters, maybe someone, somewhere is reading this? This, so far is the coldest winter for 13 years, but still I have seen no significant snowfall, maybe that is about to change. Maybe some photos tomorrow.
