Bless’em

ByGwyn Fisher

Tanya and Sudarat came round for scrabble and black books last night. Well they didn’t know about the black books part when asked over, but I foisted it on them. bless’em, i didn’t fancy another friday night on me own. Sudarat’s just back from screening her film in a New York arts cinema and Tanya’s been extremely under the weather for nigh on 4 wks and is just coming out of the worst of it. Merci mucho pour la company. All that wound down around midnight and i started watching The Goodies but fell asleep a couple of minutes into the opening credits. Anyroad, not a great night’s sleep all in all so I’m going to try and get another nap in now (it’s half seven am).
and if you live in the states, this google satellite thingis fantastic. put your address in, zoom in, drag it round. magic. And if you’re looking to buy/rent a house in San Francisco or anywhere Craigslist is used, this is an impressive combination of google maps and the rent listings, with pictures and everything. That’s the 21st century for you…

So, my fastest up and down time for this in the past was 1hr45m which I more or less did the first lap, then diminishing returns, 3rd lap’s ascent was brutal but it does help to be told ‘Good job’ by everyone flying past. Happy with me results. + a Personal Record for the descent on lap 3: 30m43s, I’ll take snow over rocks and roots any day of the month.

Sponsor me little sis

We could all take a leaf out of me little sister’s book. But not in January, ‘cos turning 38 is going to require a pint or three. Plus one for the road. Follow along on her (surprisingly-well-orchestrated) social media campaign and pledge a few quid to help a good cause.

beffOK so it’s not running a marathon or anything, but I’m going alcohol free for January to raise money for Alcohol Concern. Can I interest anyone in signing up? http://www.dryjanuary.org.uk/

Or sponsoring me? here

Or following my very basic blog which I have been unable to sync to my fundraising page? http://bethanfisher.wordpress.com/

Messing around with templates

As you can see, I’ve been trying to change the templates for this blog so make it a dynamic size rather than fixed width. it’s not behaving itself though. You can’t preview the changes you make, so you have to wait 15 minutes for it to rebuild all the files and so I’m leaving it as it is for a bit… The latest bell/whistle I’ve added is the current weather for Santa Cruz under the moon phases thing…

Had a fine time yesterday, we almost finished cleaning up 629. Just the oven and the bathroom left to do. On the way home we stopped at “Ye Olde Watering Hole”, our nearest bar. It’s alright, touch screen quiz machines, pinball, pool table all present and correct. Too much American Football on the tellies though and the only beer on tap is Budweiser. Anyroad, had a swift bottle of Sierra Nevada with sita, then we got supplies in for the night including Funyuns- America’s anwer to twiglets. Then Tanya & Scott came round and we dined, drank and played scrabble and trivial pursuit. I also learnt that Graham is pronounced Gram in US english. I already knew, but shall repeat here, that Craig is pronounced Kreg and Atticus is Addicus. Like, enough already. WTF DUDE. LOL. ROFL. That’s a link to a 12-year-old AOLer translator… enjoy.

Plans for today include dog walking and scarf shopping… and i’d quite like to see The Indredibles. See yas
