It’s gone all quiet, hasn’t it? It’s not cos we’ve not been doing anything – oh no, we’ve been as busy as busy beavers we have. Frankly – I’m knackered! I’m still applying for jobs left right and center and it’s only a matter of time before I wear the beggars down and force them

Well, the latency to the European servers from Australia is just dreadful, so I’ve opened an account on the US servers. Latency to the US isn’t much better, but at least the latency indicator is yellow rather than red. So anyway, I rerolled Trollbert on an Oceania server – I had always wished I’d rolled

Nobody tells you they come into the garden! Everywhere you look, they’re bouncing all over the place. Went in and registered with Medicare yesterday, which went fine and dandy. The rain has gone and the sun is out – hooray! Of course, I’m saying that now but it’ll be a different story in a week

Well, we did go to Newcastle for the soccer but it we chickened out – there was a torrential downpour. So, we bought some beer on the way home and watched it on the telly instead 🙂 Yesterday we drove to a tiny little out of the way place where one of our relatives’ band
