Abingdon Day
Well then, yet again its been a long time singe my last update. I think than can mostly be blamed on no longer having a laptop, well, that and a hefty dose of lazyness. Still the old works laptop was replaced by a smartphone (well not replaced as such, the job that provided the laptop was replaced, the smartphone was a cheap stopgap option) so I didn't really have any excuse.
Well I'm currently on my way back to Reading after dropping over 2.2 grand of deposit and rent for our new place in Abingdon, I really think I'm going to like it there, I hope Kat does too. I have to say that Abingdon is quite a nice place, well at first glance anyway I yet to live for any length of time in a small town. Well unless you count my home town of Scarborough.
I was looking for my passport before I set off and ended up rooting through my photos, it really does seem so long ago now, and I really do feel like a very different person to who I was then. while I happy with the change for the most part I have lost a little something perhaps it was just a kind of innocence. Jen, Colin, Kate, Gail, Melissa how are you all doing? heh, Ì wonder if Kate is married yet? if so that would make the full set. Well, myself excluded of course.

Damn I'm glad I got today off. Other than the sheer mountain of stuff I needed to do I really needed to get out of the office, not because of the people or the work. but mostly because of the heat. Even though the is air-con most days I end up uncomfortable and frustrated as my preffered working temperature would seem to be well below some people's comfort zone, roll on autumn/winter you are sorely missed.

I'll be interested to hear what mischief Will and Keith get up to (even though they seem to keep me oblivious to most of the boy-gossip) I hearby hand over the mantle of Knight-in-charge-of-getting-Keith-laid to Will I hope he does a better job than I did.

I wonter if theres a 3d model of didcot power station anywhere I think I coul do some fun stuff with that and a hired video camera. hell maybe I should get one of those HDD digi video cams. DV seems to be about 6GB for 30 mins so a modern 100GB laptop drive should hold about 8 hours. and would probably last longer as the power draw on modern drives has to be smaller than a standard tape draw motor.

Well maybe later, after the sting of that 2.2 grand has worn off.

There is always Google Earth and some High Quality aerial imags. Clever stuff might get you the 3-D or failing that FOI questions...

Anyhow, glad you got it. Good Luck.

(And I am having nothing doing with trying to get other people laid. I have enough issues my self!)
