Posted on August 20, 2011 by Gary

The log lady stole my truck!

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Gary

We finally finished Twin Peaks tonight. Mirinda wasn’t too happy with the ending. I quite liked it but then I love Jacobean tragedy. Meanwhile, at the Science Museum…the PCF records are complete! I finished the amendments Nick left for me … Continue reading →

Lazy day and music

Posted on August 13, 2011 by Gary

It’s not often that I get to sit and listen to Mirinda play her guitar. What with her jetting all around the world and only being here on the weekends. She also tends to play when I’m cooking dinner. So … Continue reading →

Voluntarily redundant

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Gary

Everyone was on holiday in documentation this week. Everyone except Barbara, that is. And me. So it was just the two of us. Actually, it was just me until she arrived for work. This isn’t the first time it’s just … Continue reading →
