I got the battery sorted – finally. They gave me a different brand (the chap wasn’t too happy looking but it was his fault!). Came home and fitted it ok and the car started like a dream. One problem solved. Now for the warrant in the weekend.
But, I am not happy. Two things:
I [...]

Nothing’s ever easy is it

Mood: irritated
So I wanted to get a WOF (warrant of fitness) for my daughter’s car. Wouldn’t start – battery died.
So I take the battery into town to get charged or replaced.
Needs replacement.
But they don’t have the right one. So he said come back tomorrow.
I go back. Out of stock, sorry. Try [...]
Hot Pursuit

Well, I’m really glad I went to the play. It was brilliant. One of our number (from our work group booking of 12) couldn’t make it and told me to give her ticket to someone else (I had her ticket “in case she lost it”). This was at 5.30 – 2 hours before the play. [...]
Another cold, dark day

It’s still very damp outside although it didn’t rain.
I’ve spent much of my time browsing the net and writing a diary of my trip to Germany last year. My diary is necessarily brief (small book) and I’ve tried to elaborate on it where I can remember! Trying to remember and express what I was [...]
Hibernation as an option

Mood: melancholy
I wish I could hibernate. Winters are cold and lonely. Long nights spent at home alone after long boring days at work. I’d rather curl up in bed and sleep it all away.
Depression creeps up on me. It paralyses me. When I’m at work I think of all these things that need doing [...]
Still cold

Another freezing night but there’s no snow to show for it. Bit of a let down when it’s so cold but the hills remain unblemished.
It was cold at work today. We had to put little fan heaters on. I have no idea what they’re doing with the heating. Yesterday was fine. Today wasn’t. I [...]
It’s freezing

There’s a light dusting of snow on the nearby hills. I thought it wasn’t cold today until I stepped out of the building. They must have turned up the heat at work. I wasn’t prepared for it. I have the heater on at home but the chill is bone deep. Oh for an open fire. [...]
One booking done

Paid off my speeding ticket today and booked for a group of 12 to the play ‘Hot Pursuit’. Seems the sales are very slow, which is a great shame. I’m sure the play will be good, but it’s a pity more people don’t know about it.
Going to book for the Egyptian bellydancing in Wellington [...]
Week’s end

Nice to have a day of sun for a change – at least when I’m home. All very well having sunny days while at work, but I never get to see it. I work on the dark side of the building (hears echo “the dark side” hahahaha). Excuse my mad self appearing there.
Bro is [...]
Back to ‘normal’ and things to look forward to

So, co-worker was all cheery today as if nothing had happened yesterday. I mentioned his little tantrum yesterday to the boss who agreed that him blaming it on gender was “bullshit”. And as she said, if he didn’t like the joking around he should have mentioned it sooner – it’s been going on for years. [...]
