Things I have learnt

ok, this is goign to be a tiny bit random.

• My glasses were too strong. Really should have had a sight test in the last 4 years… so new glases collected today
• Someone caught a bus from near horsegaurds parade last friday night, or rather saturday morning at about 1am. The bus ticket seems to still be floating around my living room
• For 10 crew one must cook a full 1kg of bacon (one of those large packs from safeway) and use at least 2 loaves of medium sliced white bread. Dan and Ant will be impatient, and insist on starting by making them selves cups of tea, and almost finishing off the remainder of the chocolate cake
• Nia makes very good chocolate cake
• Thinking of cooking nice food, pasta and cheese (the ultimate quick lazy snack) does taste better with a little herbs, and some black pepper
• If i dont look after myself (and thus get run down) I will be run down, and ill. Which is a nuisence, really.

Welcomes

I have discovered today that a couple other people I know are also blogging. Burly put up some photos of the comus dinner which is pretty cool. (Ant would probably want to be credited with " First Post" for his photos tho… oh well…)

Meanwhile the man that is Steve Jeapes also seems to have a site (with thanks to Mr Ewer for that information.

Preperations

I am currently trying to make my house presentable for the weekend. Oddly this involves a soldering iron. Maybe i will put details of this online some time.

Upbeat

Thinking of which I have quite a lot going on at the moment. Life is pretty peachy….

Work seems to be going well, and has direction. which is always a good mood. I am going to see some friends this weekend. Well, they will come to see me. but that is all just pedantics.

And of course Life is good.

Unmentionables

As I am sure I have said before, sometimes I dont express myself. Sometimes this is just cos I dont feel like putting things on here. It does not mean in any way that things dont exist.

Jet Lagged

After the weekend, which involved living in a different timezone (kind of…) and yesterday’s really good read I am feeling a little confused as to what time it is. Time for the sack I feel.

It would be a funny old world…

… but only if the thought of a train hitting a car was not so scary.

Whilst looking on the HSE Website yesterday, I stumbled accross a report on Driver Actions at Level Crossings which only goes to show how people really do think… along with some interesting interpretation of the data (i.e. that the interviewees may well have been lying a lot of the time as they didnt want to admit to breaking the law…)

It causes an interesting scenareo. People try to beat the gates at level crossings, because they believe that there is loads of time between the lights starting to flash, and the train actually arriving. So what can you do? delay the train, to give them time to get clear? or make trains come sooner so there isnt as long a wait?…

Annother report looked at the break down of people involved in accidents on the roads by age/sex/education, and a number of other things. Isnt human nature amazing?

Beautiful Tonight

I dcided to wander along the river theames this afetrnoon, well, evening really. it was dark…

Well, the sky was dark. London was all lit up. which was really nice. And to the background of tourists describing bits of the city wrongly. Never mind folks… keep trying and you will get the right facts!

Anyway, bridges all lit up, lights on towers, and a clear night. Maybe even more interesting for me as that is the first time i have tried walking from tower bridge to waterloo in one go, and also because bits of it I had never seen at night. Just as I had never seen St Pauls very closely…

No Photos though, as my camera is no good in the dark. Maybe when I get a better camera….
