Jul. 27th, 2010 04:21 pmSo, hi! I am now into week 2 of my hiatus from working and enjoying it thoroughly, if gently. I have spent an awful lot of time online. I am back in The Game. (If you don't already know what it is, I'm not telling you. My geekiness knows no bounds. Let's leave it at that, shall we?) I have started tackling the garden, which has got into a Bit of a State in my absence. Likewise, I have started poking the housework, which has been in a Hell of a State for a good while longer.
Sadly I missed the week long archaeology course at Bristol Uni (unless they have any last-minute dropouts for next week), but the local Archaeological Society runs one as well, so if I don't get into the Uni one, I'll look into that. Might as well make the most of my Time Out.
I have set myself up with a Dreamwidth account, same details and all. Any suggestion about blogs and comms I should be following there?
Hopefully it will help balance my karma against the fact that I just signed up for AIM to be able to chat with someone. AOL, ew.
While I was back home I ended up fulfilling an adolescent wish of mine from student days to have a blue streak in my hair. The colour has washed out, so I am re-doing it. With this. Hopefully the whole foil thing will get easier with practice. I'm about to go see how it worked out. Result, streaky, but not bad for a first effort. It's come out relatively pale, but that just makes it a sort of peacocky colour.
Aside from the gardening, I haven't been getting any excercise at all, so tonight I am going climbing. In fact, I'd better eat my dinner and get ready to go.
In the meantime, entertain yourselves with this bit of glory.
