Alana called.

I have known Alana since before I can remember. I sent her an e-mail five or six years ago. She called on Saturday and we spoke for the first time in twenty-five years. We probably won't leave it that long again.

Also on the weekend...

On Saturday I saw Prince Caspian at the movies, which was nice. I know I read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and I know I didn't read all the Narnia books, but I don't know exactly were I fall between those two circumstances. Anyhow, I didn't know the story and it was very pretty to watch so that was fun. (The moral isn't as much fun: faith conquers all, but don't hold your breath.)

On Sunday I walked up a mountain. Not all the way, not even to in sight of the top. Other people did; good for them. I was too slow and unassertive and, frankly, pants. Shy and Matt provided breakfast and, later, lunch and afternoon tea, which was nice.  ¶ 16:42 1 comments

  One! One blog entry. Bwah hah haa.

I moved house and I am still unpacking. The new router thinks it only has one route; this isn't conducive to a good connexion. Nevertheless in the spirit of heeding the people I call my friends, keeping my word and not being a hypocrite I am posting a blog entry:

My life is like a plain: at least it's not uphill.

Muppet Theatre - Winter Season

Thog needs to lodge a work request which states "the pulley is jammed so the curtain can't be raised, please fix it". What he did instead is leave a message which says "the show can't go on because the curtain can't be raised; fix it". Two days later when the problem is traced to the jammed pulley Thog gets all pissy because it took two days to find out what he already knew. I have a theory the reason he didn't mention the pulley is the same reason he still hasn't lodged a work order - he's a Muppet.

In other people's news...

Alix's daughter had a birthday; Dave's wife also had birthday; Emma went to Supanova; Polly has a puppy; Liz is back from the USA (but hasn't updated her blog yet); and Shy likes Matt (but doesn't even have a blog).  ¶ 19:59 3 comments
