Rain

It’s raining today. Terrible business really. All grey and dark. The view from my newly formed outdoor office is not up to the usual standards. At this rate I’ll have to ask the weather man for my money back!

Preventative Medicine

My week of waiting has ended, in just a day. It turns out the doctors prefer to treat in advance of the test results, a sort of “we think this’ll fix it” approach. So aside from not being able to drink for a week and feeling a bit sick today, all should be well with the world again very soon. Wonderful.

A Week of Waiting

I went to see the doctor today and they ordered a batch of blood tests. So I’ve to go back in a week and find out if I’m going to die. Well, I suppose we’re all going to die, so really I’ve to find out whether I’m likely to die soon!

Servers and Friday Night

This week has been an adventure, well not really, this is Nelson, but it’s been a technological adventure. I’ve been discovering a little about the CouchSurfing.com server setup and checking out ways to bring the servers up to date. With the gazillions of other things going on, server maintenance has slipped through the cracks a little.

Other than that, it’s Friday night and I’m faced with the prospect of another Friday night in Nelson. Oh dear. After last weekend’s mis-adventures I’m not sure I even want to leave the house. That coupled with the inevitable cost of beer, it’s all just a little depressing.

Still, we’re planning a camping trip, or something of that ilk tomorrow, so that should brighten our weekend. And then, the very important weekly house meeting on Sunday. Has it really only been a week since our last meeting? Oh how the time flies…

Not to disappoint, a few pictures from last weekend’s Nelson outings for you!

Police Interference

For the second time tonight, we were pulled over by the police. At least this time there were 7 of us in the car, so they had at least some justification to stop us! It was only after checking the driver’s ID and alcohol level that the policeman noticed there were 7 of us!

Top marks to the Nelson police though, he asked if we were going far, then said, ok, go straight home!

You can just see the blue lights in the background…
