Ive had a huge "bible cyst" on the back of my hand for ages now and it seemed to just get bigger and bigger, to the point of being painful and looking unsightly.
Not having a bible in the house I decided to shove one my dogs medical syringes in the thing.
It appeared to have worked, the lump has gone! (I hope)

Took my new recumbent bicycle for it's maiden voyage to work. 35km in about 2 hours with 15minutes of rest and food/drink. Not an olympic achevement, but it's a start. Plans are to go twice a week commuting on the bike.

I think they are called Danglions. My friend popped hers when she got slammed into the barrier at a gig (she too did not have a family bible to use). Hope yours is gone for good |

" Ganglion". "Danglion" is what you yell when being chased by a big cat.  |

I HAVE PURCHASED A SHED.I feel better now. I took the bull by the bollocks and sidestepped my father's severe procrastination and general fannying about, and bought a second hand shed for our second plot on the allotment. I'm bloody sick of trudging back and forth with various agricultural/gardening implements. Plus my brother's shed is a fucking shithole. He has zero organisation skills.  I'm going to hang Bertram ( sheeps skull) on the door when he's finished decomposing, along with other decorative tat because I paid for the shed, and therefore... I CAN. We shall also have lots of cheap plastic storage drawers, places to hang spades ect, and a decent camping cooker to make tea on. Mother has already got a little kettle. We shall even have ... a toilet bucket. Now THAT'S fucking luxury.  All in all, I am on an organising MISSION. And for someone as lazy as me that's saying something ! . If I'm going to set up a shed I'll bloody well do it properly.

There are two things I want to get done this weekend;
In the first instance, do what amounts to a rebuild of my latest locomotive, as I am unhappy with the frames, the general 'untidyness' of it and the lining.
In the second instance, produce some 1:20 sections of a library I am designing.
I managed to get the loco done; but am prevaricating over the drawings. Productiveness of a sort, then.

About half through cleaning and rearranging my bedroom, then on to the rest of the apartment. I've got a week off from work; if I do a room a day, that'll leave me half the week to lounge around- in a place that doesn't look like a bomb went off in it.  |

After spending most of yesterday sorting old documents and doing the basic layout for the book they will all be part of, I have spent today preparing the book itself.
So far I have "aged" about 50 pages. Still a long way to go before I reach the 300 or so pages that I will need.
Now I will start putting something on the pages that I have, while the next batch dries.
Around 300 individually aged, handwritten and hand illustrated pages, hand-sewn and bound, must be the largest amount of work I have done for a LARP prop, in a long time. This new game better be worth it.

I've painted the kitchen walls and ceiling today. There was already 1 coat of paint on it; dad started painting it a month ago and then discovered he's allergic to one of the solvents in kitchen/bathroom paint. I'm finishing it as a birthday present to him. Think it's going to take at least one more coat in the morning, then I have to do the doors + frames (he's allergic to gloss paint too).
I must say this paint is nasty stuff; I've been feeling sick all day. Perhaps I have the same allergy but more mildly because an hour away from the paint fumes and I feel a lot better but dad was in bed for 2 days after using it!

Since I bought a ticket to Steampunk Convention...decided to put some effort into suitably attiring myself. Went Thrifting and found 4 tops to modify and 2 skirts to turn into bustle skirts for under $20.00. Combining these with items I already have, turned out some nice basics. Kind of pleased about this, since I don't sew.  I don't know anyone else going to this event, but I've decided to go anyway. Adventure points for me. |

I think it is outrageously unfair that in Australia men can get sheds on the national health or some charity or other, in the name of their mental health. Women need sheds too. I have had to resort to spending a vast sum on buying a vast house with vast garden in order to get a garage to be my shed. Husband gets a shed too. We dont have a car so the garage is genuinely mine. No more clearing EVERY project off the one table in our flat before every meal. |

Sewing my frock coat. Stocking the shelves, front facing the merchandise, keeping up on the product recall, trying to get some of our wilder cats more people-friendly, and talking to the parrots at the pet store.

Significant progress with university stuff. Alternating between work on my new frock coat and a pair of trousers. Alright, so it is night, not day, but I still feel productive |

Rode on my recumbent bike to work again today. This morning I managed to add half a km/h to my average speed. Now the spedometer says:"18 km/h average speed"
I know it's not fast, but I just started cycling (or any kind of sports) since about 5 years. We're planning on selling one of our two cars, as one usually just stands there except 2 days a week for a 20km trip.
One trip to and from work (35km one way) saves me about €11 on gas and insurance/maintanence/tax.

Yes, if the Lego pilots need transportation. |

It's also mine and Mr C's three year anniversary today In other news, my hair is the colour of a space nebula, black fading to blue, purple and pink.

I don't suppose so - it is Thursday so my day to look after grandchildren all day. I have taken the 4 year old to pre-school but don't know what to do with 17 month old one, other than supply food, drink and change frequently... She seems to be happy trashing the house, so I can tidy up, so she can trash it again. Anybody know of any jobs going down the pits for a small child?

Would a salt mine be any good?. Have you tried getting a chimney sweep to take her on as an apprentice? Mind you, I've heard that "dark satanic mill" owners (oop north) are crying out for workers.  |

Not so much thesedays, the mills are going out of business as people are importing their dark satanics from the continent at a cheaper price. Production of British made dark satanics is way down, and falling fast. Back to the coal mines I guess... SS |

Somewhat productive. I build a new computer for a friend of mine. Now I'm installing the software she has requested and setting everything up. After that, the only thing remaining, is to run it through a 24 hour torture test/ benchmarking, to make sure that everything is working 100%. So by tomorrow evening, she should be back in the 21th century. And as a bonus, we have a new Linux convert |
