Well, hello there! I'm back at last! All new harddisk, no more computer woes. After 4 attempts at installing Windows, my legit copy failed and I had to resort to borrowing a 'not so legit' version from a friend. So much for honesty, eh?
I really missed this site while I had no computer. Very glum, was I. I must shortly reply to all you...

It's time I typed some stuff on here. Things have been pretty quiet since last week. I've been pretty lonely out here. Other than riding my bike and working in the garden I haven't been doing an awful lot. Mainly down to lack of funds, trips out are a definite no no. It's pretty staggering that I've managed to last nearly two months on 52...

You're going to love Derbyshire, Greg. I promise.
Be sure to pop into Derby occasionally to avail yourself of the excellent Reveal Records shop.
I thoroughly recommend any and all gigs at the Vic Inn too, just opposite the train station. Handy, that.
You'll adapt to the Buxton life easily, knowing you. Just don't forget to make regular forays into the neighbouring cities to keep yourself sane.
Put me down on the list of future visitors. We can set up a still round the back of your rural idyll and brew up potato gin for the cold winter nights.

I threw a six and lo, my computer starts! Smashing, indeed, it WILL be smashed just as soon as my new HD arrives. I can then look forward to installing all my favourite programs A*G*A*I*N and quietly weep over my lost mp3s. Damn you faulty hardware!
No news on the job front, sadly. Although I was politely informed there would be no assistance, as such,...

Update. Got to type quickly. Hard disk fucked... Don't know how long it will keep alive. The MBR's gone and registry is corrupt, so prone to locking up and won't then work for another few hours...

Well, you know, sometimes a swift kick in the piehole will fix just about anything... or break it completely, forcing you to get a new one.
good luck!

Bollocks! I was outbid for the "Sony Microcassette Dictaphone" on ebay by a poxy 50p. I hate that, swines wait til I'm out for the afternoon and pip me minutes before the sale is about to close!

Finally got home after a nice visit to my mates house in Widnes. It's now pitch black and raining outside. The boughs of the trees are close enough in the dry, when it rains it almost makes the buildings disappear! I don't mind either way, though, since the house is always warm and welcoming! Headed out yesterday for a pint or...

You asked if I STILL kick and throw around piles of leaves? The answer to that can be found in my candids- I uploaded a few pics from last autumn there just for your sake.
I'd best move that journal entry out of the way....

reading between the lines, I take it you've had a rough weekend huh ? Hope you're feelin happier. I've just had a couple of days away taking stock of things too. Not much clearer mind, but hey,... i got away for a couple of days !
A nice Boddies sounds good,....i'll raise a glass to you tomorrow lunch time as a good wish to you being called back regarding the job. Just don't tell JSA yet. What they don't know won't hurt them, and you don't want complications now do you ? They'll only cock things up if you tell them in advance,....I worked there for 10 years, so believe me, I know !
A toast to you sir,....be true to yourself and true to your word, take care of your own, and sod the world !

Its that time of the evening! Correct. Journal update time...
I feel weird. Not drunk, not zoned. Just not really the usual mood for updating this... Its been an odd weekend, mainly due to the complete normality of the past few days. No epic mountain bike runs, no crazy gigs or run-ins with looney tramps and down-and-outs. Just a quiet weekend, pretty much by myself,...

oh wow that is soo cool when you're parents can express their pride in you. sometimes it's rare but that makes it cooler. i remember i moved to seattle and i was talking to my mom on speaker phone and i could hear my grandma bitching in the background about how i didn't call enough. that i shouldn't worry my mom like that. i was about to say something but my jumped in and told her that i wasn't. that if i didn't call that means i was taking care of myself and didn't need her help. so when i didn't call for awhile she knew i was happy and doing fine. i know that's odd but i knew just meant that she had faith in me and she hardly ever expressed that before.
and yes i like the new pic...did you do that silvery effect yourself or did the pic just come out like that naturally?

Ah. In a much more positive mood than I was yesterday. I've spent today in the sunshine setting gateposts and treating the new gates (the old ones were stolen and sold for scrap, last year btw).
Yesterday was a shortlived jaunt into manchester for a night out at the retro bar basement, again.. Two bands performed to a hotch-potch of us losers and various minor...

you seem a little chirpier, must be the gigs and the booze huh ?
Whats this about the Dj's at Rockworld saying to bring your own Cd's in ?,.....bloody cheapskates ! Tell em to go buy their own ! They gonna give you a cut of their wages too when your discs get people up and dancing then ? They're giving us Dj types a bad name ! ( cough,....splutter,....cough cough, etc etc lol !)
Anyhow,...take care and have a good weekend,...
Are you already set up and all in the new place... you wannabe Manc, you?
And sorry for the late response, god school's killer again,
but I nearly always miss my sis, unless she's right beside me or at least in the same room as me. Maybe it's different for most siblings. We're just desperately close.
Are there any new pics?? Want to see inky blackness and hills you speak of!
