Sideroxylon.

I have the Mini 9 using the old SSD. Much happier now, thank you.

Spent most of last week flat on my back ill. I was so bored I kept thinking of stuff I'd be doing at work. Saw a pile of Wikimedians on their way to Gdansk on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have pictures and will post to my Wikimedia blog at some stage.

The house is now being cleaned a bit regularly. Holy crap, I can breathe! Also, switching off the teenagers' Internet when their rooms start smelling funny is a marvellously effective method of focusing their concentration.

For the first time in three years, Freda put up with being babysat by me so arkady could go out without her! We're working her up to us being able to go out together ...

Pictures up from Invocation on 19th June. It's like the Minories has suddenly popped into my awareness and there's immediately nowhere else.

Although this Friday nyecamden and I plan to go to Departure at the Elixir Bar in Camden. Anyone know if it's actually on? Anyone else going? Update: Arkady is out Friday now, we are going to hang out with gay perverts who can't spell on Saturday.

Arkady has started writing fanfic. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I BLAME YOU damned_colonial AND GOD WILL GET YOU FOR THIS.
