For the first time ever I put sun cream on to come to work today. That's ruined that association for me. There are 3 large fans currently circulating warm air around the office. At least it's moving, I suppose. I can't see today going well, from a remaining-sweat-free perspective.

I'm also beginning to suspect that I was right in my first assessment of my gym device. I've just had to put it up yet another level. At the rate I'm going, I'm going to run out of levels long before I run out of the requirement for strenuous exercise. I'll be a fat bloke who just happens to be able to lift heavy stuff :(. Might help if I could find a form of aerobic exercise that doesn't turn me into a purple, gasping mess desperately searching for ventolin and/or a nice handy ambulance. *sigh*

On top of all this, my nose is peeling. :(

Photees!

Just got my photos from CCDE and Paul's wedding back. All have come out ok, though I really should have gone to the effort of buying a digital camera because I've no bloody idea how I'm going to get these on the web otherwise. The CCDE ones feature Dave lots, Nattie lots and Peter and Julie sporadically. Some are from peculiar angles and some are of completely the wrong thing. From the composition of still more, it's completely impossible to tell what I intended to photograph. Hurrah! I have a photo that is supposed to be of the bar, but, amusingly, everyone in it is looking at me as if it were supposed to be a photo of them. You vain lot! I'll try to scan in the ones that are of interest (somehow).

On my travels I also bought some beer. Specifically Black Sheep Ale, of the kind that I gave Mal when I popped across there to fetch the root beer extract. He was quite right. It's blimmin' marvellous. Going down a treat. Incidentally batch 5 has reached optimum hardness (f'nar) and has gone in the fridge overnight. If it still tastes wrong, I'm buying a bloody soda stream.

So very, very silly.

FAIRY TALE

nce upon a time there has a young CHEESE SALESMAN named BRIAN. He was SHAMEFACEDLY PHOTOCOPYING in the GENTLE forest when he met WISE AETHELRED, a run-away LION TAMER from the SANE Queen PERSEPHONE.

BRIAN could see that WISE AETHELRED was hungry so he reached into his CARRIER BAG and give him his HORRID SANDWICHES. WISE AETHELRED was thankful for BRIAN's SANDWICHES, so he told BRIAN a very SPOOKY story about Queen PERSEPHONE's daughter JOSEPHINE. How her mother, the SANE Queen PERSEPHONE, kept her locked away in a COFFEE SHOP protected by a gigantic BADGER, because JOSEPHINE was so STUPID.

BRIAN GALLOPED. He vowed to WISE AETHELRED the LION TAMER that he would save the STUPID JOSEPHINE. He would CHEW the BADGER, and take JOSEPHINE far away from her eveil mother, the SANE Queen PERSEPHONE, and EAT her.

Then, all of the sudden, there was a WET THUNDERSTORM and WISE AETHELRED the LION TAMER began to laugh. With a puff of smoke he turned into the gigantic BADGER from his story. SANE Queen PERSEPHONE GAVE out from behind a SPOON and struck BRIAN dead. In the far off COFFEE SHOP you could hear a WHOOSH.

THE END.
