Adenoviridae

My throat is sore and it seems to have knocked out my brain functioning too. I’m weak and pathetic. Heh-ho.

I do feel like I’ve managed to do some stuff this week:

• About five lines of writing
• Maths revision
• Filmed and edited some dance footage seen here on their YouTube Channel.
• Wrote some emails
• Got some less crap, for seeing, contact lenses (but they’re a bugger to remove)
• Attempted to pick a new t-shirt (for me) and failed-have got it down to this, this, and this
• Bought a book. Read it.
• Bought a cake. Ate it.
• Written the world’s shortest press release.
• Did another 800 words of writing.
• Got annoyed by painful hangnail on thumb. Nearly took thumb off trying to remove.

So I’m going to spend tomorrow stewing in my own sore throated misery, until I have to be chipper, sensible and dealing with someone elses on Friday.

Compass Rose

This was going to be another video. The technical hitch this time is that my ‘office’ has been taken over by the build of a new Media Centre PC*. I did actually film something, but since it was about my DVD collection it was in fact dull as the proverbial. Actually it was duller, dishwater would have been enigmatically fascinating. I and my DVDs were not. Plus it made, my face ache. I don’t know why. I honestly don’t. I wasn’t gurning with embarrassment (although I probably should have been).

Any of you who have twittered* or facebooked me may have noticed a link I posted earlier in the week to an article in The Metro. It doesn’t rank as one of my favoured news outlets (based on ownership and it being foisted in my face everytime I get off a bus in Nottingham), but this did interest me. Actually the credit for noticing said article should go to my mother who after having the paper flung at her took one look and apparently told the driver “C__* will want to know about this” (muster up a theatrical declaration and you’re practically there, my mother treats every opportunity to talk like a soliloquy*).

Anyway, huge diversion aside. The article interests me greatly. The Metro, and The Times discuss the action largely as though it came out of the blue (and nor can any of the articles agree on what amount Ms Laird is being sued for). Which I suppose is for brevity, and the fact that only residents of Cheltenham are likely to be especially interested in the prequel to this event. Though if you are Auntie has a couple of articles here and here. The preceeding events however, don’t entirely explain a worrying decision on the part of the council. The decision to sue someone for not disclosing a mental health problem.
