And I haven’t been playing Portal 2 all this time. Honest.

Got lost in a research loop, back to writing with an actual pen on actual paper and catching up on my reading.

I was wrong.

Leaving @ 5.30am.

And I think it’s going to kick my arse…

Two days being ill and then as soon as I start to feel a little better one of the radiators decides to flood the place.

When we bought the apartment we kept the very old-school radiators to keep some of the old building’s character. Not so sure that was the wisest choice we ever made.

Mostly because it doesn’t look like this:

I’m sick.

Been ages since I caught a bug – one of the benefits of working from home and avoiding people. Now I’m the land of shivers, shakes and backache I’ll try and catch up on some frivolous blogging. And a little Tweeting.

Loud music also helps: Outside there’s a boxcar waiting…
