wednesday 30th march
hole plugging first, bedlam. reel out, main menu end screen (test).
finished at 4am, but it moves.
tuesday 29th march
paramount ring. afghan menu.
monday 28th march
boarding in mk on my own for the first time with motorway bridge
research on the way up. i was probably the only person on the a1 glad
to be at a crawl; it means focus and therefore detail.
sunday 27th march
sitting in front of snowblind and gt4.
saturday 26th march
kitchen finishing - final fills, paints etc.
friday 25th march
babysitting ben for the first time the parents managed to make
the meal stretch to just two hours and then back they were, stumbling
in with my eye in the peephole thinking it's my pizza delivery. who ever
heard of the parents getting back before the babysitter had even sat down?
thursday 24th
imagination.
wednesday 23rd march
tuesday 22nd march
monday 21st march
sunday 20th march
who knows?
saturday 19th march
washed the car, watched the incredibles, tried to sell jane's vw
but it wouldn't start, so instead of a nice parking space to call my own
in front of the flat i get sore legs from pushing it and the same view
of old rust. not quite the way i would have liked it to have gone. hey
ho.
friday 18th march
grouting. the evil half-brother of tiling. pjb turns up and together
we solve the mystery of the all-controlling lounge spotlights. the wires
were right, the dimmer was broken. all that darkness for a £3 piece
of plastic. still, it's done now, so we may as well look on the bright
side, har har.
thursday 17th march
the bit it was most nervous about: learning to tile.
wednesday 16th march
today. funks rings at ten am with a wobbly deluxe talking but not wanting
to but really wanting to. half a world away but they didn't go that
far.
the first day of spring it seemed with warm sun, pdb finishing the worktops
and me weeding in the garden. if last year's anything to go by you've
got to get 'em before they drop their seeds. we took monks to ali pali
discussing possible piste routes as the terror sat in the blackest, oiliest
muddiest swamp patch ever. a bandcamp story if ever there was
one; it was so funny. then i did some more menus.
tuesday 15th march
dvd nav rollovers in dvd pro right first time. you just click... and go!
monday 14th march
showreel in earnest with a mess, a stupid sign i'm desperately trying
to shove in there simply because i like the look of it (design mistake
32a), and some more 'workable solutions' (y'aall) except the main menu
is utter crap.
saturday 12th march
aaah, saturday.
friday 11th march
new plumbing. ordered from screwfix.
wednesday 9th march
tuesday 8th march
like the morning after a small interior battle, surveying the carnage
of yesterday.
monday 7th march
so boiler man's here at 8.25, parking permit ok. kitchen fitter and diving
junkie pjb arrives half an hour later, looks around, gets ticketed so
there's another fifty quid. but questions, drills, mortar, pipes everywhere
and by 3pm i'm lying in a bath so hot it makes your bum itch when you
try to sit down.
um... happy birthday?
sunday 6th march
kitchen day 2. supposed tidy but no removal yesterday means nothing changes
with a day less. sarah beenie can keep it.
saturday 5th march
kitchen day 1: out it was supposed to be but oh no. kitchen men don't
turn up although - more importantly - boiler man does. nice.
friday 4th march
backlog
