Had a very nice Christmas at Karen’s house in Milton Keynes. She made a wonderful turkey and should be proud of herself.

Ill

I got ill last tuesday which took me off work and although I’m back it’s left me with a very sour coughy throat which has been keeping me up. Ate a nice turkey dinner in the cowheards and that seems to have given me some food poisoning, keeping me up.

I could just sleep on this desk now.

Kung fu & new people at work

Amy reminded me yesterday that I haven’t blogged in a while so I thought that I would do it now.

It is 10:15 and I’ve just spent 45 minutes on my own doing some kung fu in an empty room in the union building and I’m now upstairs on the caf? pcs. At 12 it is my grading where I’ll be going for an orange sash. I have no doubts that I will get it* but you still have to wonder if you are going to make a fool out myself.

* I’m not being cocky, it’s just that the instructors are really nice. As long as they have seen you do what you need to do in the past they will use that experience instead of what they have just seen.

Karen, I got your plant. I thought to start with you can just sent me a load of polystyrene there was so much. When I get back home I’ll take a picture for ‘before’ as it’s got a lot of growing to so (it grows into the shape of a cat).

Work has got a little more interesting now. Dave Price (see the latest photos) has now left and we have 4 people in his place. 3 do shifts in the morning and are from ISS (the universities central IT people that don’t ever mix with the acutal teaching) and a temp who was very much like me, good at computers but never seen them linked together before. Hopefully he’ll pick it up as quick as I did.

That’ll do, I’ve nearly finished my Ginsters Ham and Mozzarella bake.

Oh and click on my adverts sometimes, I get money.
