Never going to get rich.....

I just looked at my AdSense income. I am not on the road to a Rolls Royce, I need more visitors, more adds and better content.

On holidays.....

I am on a break, I have not gone anywhere special just taking it easy for two weeks. I am now in week 2 and I have to say that I feel great. The plan had been to book a holiday somewhere for a week, but this is working out better and less stress.

I was listening to Gerry Ryan this morning, I caught a piece where a caller or texter had said that in Portugal, Irish women had been described using the three Fs. The three Fs stand for Fake tan, Foul mouthed and Fat. I can see the listener's point, all around and everyday. Pity though.

Merrell.

I have been wearing shoes from Merrell and they are brilliant. Comfortable, snug and light. Check them out.

Phew

It has been a rollercoaster week.

I thought I was sorted to take one job and a big part of me was not going to take it. I was going to take because I need a job. It would have been a nice place to work but it would have been a big culture change. It was to be all finalised and signed off on Friday. Then....out of the blue.....I got a call from another place which has more practical advantages but slightly lower money and a "lower" job (I suppose that is how I could describe it). Anyway, the seemed more pragmatic and straightforward. So after a few small hitches I signed with them!

Coolio, so I will be working from the start of July, but I need to finish the write up today. I have naturally gone on a shopping spree. Oh no.... No point in working if you can't spend it in advance?

The bottom line is that it is a big load off my mind.

New gym routine.

I have been back to the gym recently. I got a new assesment and have been given three different plans, the idea is to do them in turn during the week. I have started going at 6:00am and plan to do Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Cool. I need to get fitter and lose some weight.

Boring I know. Still no job.

Writing up

I have to get finished writing up. I am not the fastest or best writer in the world. I need to get through all my notes, get them typed in and then re-write the lot.

Doh.

I went to the library today and it was closed. Man did I feel like a tit. Luckily I found somewhere to work for a few hours and got about 10 pages of notes down. Why? I need to finish my thesis asap and get it handed in.

Need to look for a job! Why? My funding has run out and I am need to pay rent and eat. Nasty!

Comments.

Any comments anybody, getting lonely all couped up in here. What do you recommend to use to track site visitors?

New Ian Rankin book.

I have just read on www.ianrankin.net that a new book called Naming of the Dead should be released this October.

I am a huge Rebus fan and have read all the novels to date. I looked up some of the locations on a previous trip to Edinburgh. If you like crime drama, you will love the Rebus novels.

I also like Judge John Deed and New Street Law.....now if only they would bring back Anton Meyer into Holby city......would be very interesting.

Slow day.

I am rebuilding a PC and it is taking me all day.

Installing the operating system (XP) was not so bad, the biggest chore is getting all the old applications back onto it.

I should really store my backups (of software installation files) better.

Tidying up.

I am trying to clear out my study room. It is full with documents that I am ***nearly*** finished with. I am not getting very far.

Off to the library again to continue writing up.

A long while....but, welcome back.

The fact that I said 6 months ago that I was going to be away for a few days is not lost on me.
