Time to explain why I've been so quiet lately. Over the past few weeks I have been busy moving apartments!

I just wanted to put a small note on here to say that I have started a course at university. 7 years after leaving the education system, I'm now taking a course called the University Certificate in Advanced Office IT Applications.

I've got to say it is nice to beat the Americans at sport for once.
I've been watching the Olympics today which have been going on over the last couple of weeks, and today we had the final of the men's 4 x 100 relay which we won be 100th of a second the America coming second!
I've been playing around with Kate's computer today, and I think I might have broke it :-) I've been saying for a few days that I would install a new hard drive for her - which I did, but thought at the same time I would swap her TV card over for a better one I had laying around. So I uninstalled everything from the old one, fitted the new one and tried to install the software and drivers. Now Windows XP (wonderful OS that it is(!)) detected the new hardware and installed some drivers but the software wouldn't recognise that. I tried loads of different ways of installing including brand spanking new drivers from the 'net but nothing worked. So I decided that I was flogging a dead horse, and decided to put the old one back. This I did, but with similar problems. Anyway I managed to re-install the card but do you think it can see any TV channels? Can it buggery. Could be a dodgy aerial but then you might think that the dirty great bit of coax cable might pick up a snowy picture.
Ooh - I've just had a thought whilst typing! Perhaps the coax isn't connected to the splitter in the room next door. Must ask when my housemate arrives back. (The aerial wiring in this place is a shambles. There's a rough sketch of how it all fits together in the objects section.)

Feeling very groggy today. Looks like I've caught me a cold. Actually, I've been feeling off since yesterday afternoon at work with a sore throat, dizziness and hot and cold spells. Once I got home I fell straight to sleep for two hours before waking up for 10 minutes and then sleeping until 10:30pm.

Been quite a quiet week this week. Yesterday, Kate and myself went to 'The Honey Pot' at the Festival Leisure Park, Basildon. I'm not a fan of Basildon. Too many roundabouts, poor road signs and plenty of 'Boy Racer' vehicles speeding around.
So anyway, we went to this restaurant because Kate had a money off voucher (she likes offers). Not too bad food. The starter was the best with breaded mushrooms, chicken, garlic bread and onion rings (it's a shared starter - not all for me).
Main course consisted of a nice double bacon & cheese burger with chips and more onion rings (yum!). Bit too much for me though plus the burger tasted a bit charred.
Overall, it was a reasonable dinner but nothing special. No better than a Wetherspoons - in fact Wetherspoons may be slightly better. But it was a nice evening out - noisy cars aside.

Arrrgh the heat! It's baking today. Got every fan I can lay my hands on switched on and it's still too hot - I don't react well to warm days.

So I've had some pictures on this page for a few days now from last Sunday, and decided it's about time I explained them - especially the damaged car.

Got some 35mm photos developed today, so they have been added to the little collection below.
Other than that, not the most exciting day today.
