WHHHOOOOOOOOOOO! It was great! For now though I'm writing a review while everything is still fresh. And I hope my pics come out OK.

Okay, other than the fact that I'm really enjoying living in our renovated house and that I'm contemplating strangling some of my teenage students,
there's not much to report, but I thought I'd say hello anyway.

hi poly!
glad you like your new house!
Never resort to homicide when under the influence of enforced pedagogy, I always say!
Also glad to see you didn't float away with the floods!

I'm just flabbergasted by the level of disrespect exhibited by kids who are only 12, 13 or 14.
The floods don't occur in my part of the country, thankfully.

Those kids. They don't know what they're saying do they?
The news in this part of the world about your part of the world is rather sketchy.
You get a flood, we hear of a drizzle.
You get a fire that kills 150 people and we're not sure if that was a heat wave or a terrorist bombing.
Just imagine the rumor mill.
Best not.
Wish I could be of some help but the semester should be over soon enough?

Poly! Great to see you again! How's the new home? Got any pictures?
(Strangling is a dangerous method for murder. If you want to get away with stuff like that, it's worth to watch Forensic Detectives or Delicatessen)

There's been a terrible thunderstorm out here... causing me to wake up at 5 AM. And I wasn't able to go back to sleep again, so I'm real cranky now.

Well, at least you don't have to get up and deliver newspapers anymore...
Okay: remember I told you about slicing my finger open with the freshly-sharpened scissors? It's a deep, clean cut and it wasn't healing very fast. So
I tried a trick I learned from a guy who was a medic in Vietnam:
Super Glue.
Apparently, the first use of Super Glue was to treat flesh wounds in triage situations.
I hope this doesn't cause me to go into septic shock or something nasty like that. But just in case it does, goodbye..

I know that! When I cut myself in a most stupid method (a nasty gash in the chin caused by a tumble off-stage. Of course I'm in good company with such
a fall, were it not for the fact that I had to fall off stage. It was in a play my sister wrote and I helped with the remake for the version we were
putting up: it was MY idea to fall off stage in the first place), I did something more stupid: I just went home. My friends were saying I should get
it stitched, but I hate needles (and I'm in good company with that too!) so I just cycled home. The bleeding wouldn't stop, and when Dad came home he
dragged me to the hospital.
Anyway there they said they don't even stitch women anymore. They just use superglue. If I'd known that... Anyway I was too late to get glued so they
put this special adhesive bandage on it that pulls the two sides of the gash together.
It's not the same glue as the one the doctors use: perhaps you'd better go to the GP or hospital to get it done for you.

My mother's a vet nurse and super glue is standard procedure. Not for the animals though.

I saw on some of them Animal Planet shows that some vets choose to put honey in bandages to prevent infection. That sounded bizarre to me... what if
the dogs eat the bandage?

I've heard that some people use bee stings as a treatment for multiple sclerosis.
Sounds bizarre; but really no more so than shooting yourself up with interferon, I suppose...

Another quick visit through a small time window. I came out to my studio yesterday morning to log on and say hi but I discovered it was completely
without power. The power was still on in the house but no circuit breakers had dropped for the studio, so I assumed I would have to ring up the people
who wired it to come out on an emergency call. Later that morning after I gone to drop my elder son off at rowing and visit my mother, my wife called
me to say the power had now gone off in the house. She discovered some guys working on a fault in the power lines out in the street and the power came
back on about an hour and half later.
Figure that out, how was only part of our power supply affected before the whole lot eventually went out?

Power comes in three phases. Nowadays very household has at least to phases in the house so when there is a trouble with one you never will sit in the
dark. I assume there was a power failure with one of the phases and later on when the work on the breakdown they have to switch of all three phases.
Why is the world so changing rapidly. On my first computer I saw A: after starting it up with a 160k single side single density floppy.

What a shit. The fault was found very easily but for repairing you need chines hands. Not my spade shaped claws.

We have solar panels on our house. You'd think that would keep us safe from blackouts, but that's not the case. If the power goes out, by law the
solar panels have to disconnect; otherwise, it could endanger anyone working on the lines.
Makes sense when you think about it...

The Sony PS2 was fixed, but to test it I had to watch a cheepo DVD we're not attached to, AKA CareBears in Wonderland in awful voice-acting.
Playing Frankenstein: Through The Eye Of The Monster. And picking strawberries. Hope we can make icecream!

Did my civilian duty and went voting for the European Parliament. It was very difficult to make up my mind on what party I was going to vote for, and
all the on-line tests didn't really help...
