It's nice having a get together with people you haven't seen for a wee while, but unnerving how quickly you can get sucked back in to the things that aren't yours any more. I got quite passionate this evening, about the failings of a computer system that I haven't used for two months and will probably never use again (I hope. I'm no programmer, but I think the design of that particular system is shoddy.)

On the plus side, all by myself I picked out a vacuum cleaner that then turned up as a Which Best Buy. I'm so proud. And clearly in need of proper constructive work. Slacking has its good points, but I'm getting to worry myself. And I think I've run out of Top Gear repeats to watch. Could I find myself on the slippery slope to Jeremy Kyle? It would be all so easy.

Yours and worried
