Carrot and stick

A mixed blog.

My birthday was very shiny. Worked on my actual birthday then went for a meal with my Dad at the D-Fly. Very tasty, though sadly no sushi due to some odd mismanagement from the venue. Sigh…

Saturday I worked again then went out for the night with a bunch of friends from different walks of life. A good bunch (even Neil...) and some fun stories. Sadly no pictures. We hit a few pubs then went to the 2 Pigs. It was fairly low key, I guess I’m at that age now!

The following day was the Huskinson family BBQ, complete wiht my own hangover. Then a trip to the Rolly for drinks with some of the old gang. All very good.

Monday was good - thanks to Suzy then Chris and Jo, etc. Crashed a little that night. Had a reasonable day Tuesday and a good evening, then got really low last night.

So I applied for my provisional driving licence online using my digital passport (and my debit card, life in the UK is expensive) and ordered some glasses based on my new prescription. So we’ll see what that brings.

But my THLF brain patch has failed. I keep trying to improve myself but nothing is really changing anything. I have no idea what I’m doing naymore, just casting around aimlessly trying to understand why I get so low, why I feel so trapped and unfulfilled.

It’s not viral. Gandalf The White Blood Cells fought of my cold quite easily in the end. The spinning room early warning sign was very helpful on reflection.

It’s not a lack of trying.

Blah.

Hopefully I can patch the patch and keep going till my Operating System is ready. I spent to much time this past decade faffing with peripherals. Now I’m back to improving the basic hardware and bios. I just wish it wasn’t taking so long.

And I wish there was an end user to help with the beta testing.

Right enough of this. My thoughts are with some friends who are having different but very trying times. Lets hope we can raise a glass to one another in the coming months. Salut!
