    My life is like the TV series 24. Events occur in real-time and I often lose four minutes at a time whilst hearing a loud ticking noise. But there are some striking differences.

    • I sleep for many of the hour-long episodes
    • My mobile phone often has a flat battery
    • I never get involved in convoluted conspiracy theories – unless I am in one and don’t realise it because the conspiracy is so all encompassing that it can’t be recognised

    Sometimes you need to sit back and have a good laugh. This is fairly old, but if you ever have the need to laugh at a group of people with tics, tourettes and chronic bronchitis, then this is for you.

    Another saturday

    I think I have found my niche here at blogger. According to most net surveys the majority of bloggers post during the week, as in Monday to Friday. I presume this is because they have something interesting to say before they go off to a meeting and spout utter drivel – or is that merely my experience?

    I have just looked back at my recent posting here and realised that I regularly post on Saturday, or have for the past few weeks. It may have something to do with the fact that we have been housebound for several reasons, not just the lack of a car, and so this is my way of connecting with the outside world… alternatively I may simply need to get out more.

    Anyhow, I will again be watching Primeval later on today, it has been quite fun if not too taxing on the brain cells. I presume the series finale will clash with the beginning of Doctor Who, I know what I’ll be watching but it will be of interest to see if it dents the viewing figures.

    Got through the weekend and the sore throat. Even though it still hurst I even made it into work and have cracked on there.

    However, I am very busy at the moment with several new projects all at that nebulous planning stage with no clear direction… still I am sure we can have several meetings to muddy the air :-)

    I have a sore throat and feeling generally a little rough. I’m going to take a couple of cold tablets and then watch Man Utd in the FA Cup followed by Primeval (thought it was Ok, last week, and so will be watching it again.

    Took a walk to the DIY shop earlier, I am feeling very green actually. Now that isn’t to do with the sore throat and illness, that is to do with the fact that we are still without a car, and so are walking a lot more. This would have been one of the trips we would have previously made via the car, now we need to walk. We wouldn’t have been able to carry anything large that we bought home, but this was a purely window shop trip, so full green marks to us.

    I feel lucidity slipping even further from my grasp, so I think it is probably time to shut up and find something else to do.
