Oh what a feeling, when you’re dancing on the ceiling…

I had my second physiotherapy appointment last week and I’m beginning to have my doubts how well it’s going to work out.

I was at the appointment last Friday, and today is the first day I’ve been able to actually move like a normal human being since. Not really a very good sign is it?

It’s supposed to be a therapy, not inducing complete incapacity.

Still, it’s been informative if nothing else. Guess I’ll just have to see what happens next trip there in about 3 more weeks.

NUMPTY!

Two days without broadband and I’m not a happy fraggle! I’d forgotten just how slow dial-up is… And it doesn’t help that so few people seem to use dial-up anymore that sites are bigger (and slower) than ever.

I put in a request for a speed upgrade about a month ago, so I can go from 1 meg to around 5 (yay!) Only some daft numpty got a bit confused and ignored the upgrade and issued me with a MAC code, effectively locking the service until I either switched provider, or waited 30 days till the code expired before the upgrade could be reactivated.

Hey, I put some new shoes on…

I’ve never been a big fan of clothes shopping, but today it was just getting silly.

I had to go into town for a haircut, so I figured I might as well take advantage and try and get some clothes… Especially when I worked out I hadn’t bought any for seven years, I thought it was about time to replace some of them!

Usually I hate shopping because I can never find anything to fit, but today it was just one thing after another.

Welcome to the new look bloggie :-D

I’ve been a fan of movable type for several years now, ever since I picked up my blog and tootled off to my own web-space. But now it’s time for a change!

Movable type has served me well since about 2004, but it’s just not keeping up anymore. It won’t do email blogging, I can’t access it properly through my PDA, and there’s been a few little things here and there I’ve been trying to tweak for months, but they’re having none of it.

Since the web server has just had a nice overhaul, I figured it was as good a time as any to give my blog one too.

So with some sadness I’ve finally got everything packed up, backed up, exported… Yadda, yadda, yadda…

Who am I to tell you…

It’s strange, when I got up this morning all I had planned was a trip to the hospital, now suddenly I’m job hunting!

The trip to the physiotherapist went pretty well, a lot better than the last one I had to go and see that’s for sure! This one at least knew about ME and it’s effects and, more importantly, what not to do and say to aggravate the condition (and the patient as the last one found out!)

But I digress…
