Weekends consist of resting

Well I wish there was more I could do but between trying to complete NaNoWriMo and other home type things there is very little time. When I do get a moment it is a cup of tea and a quick rest on the bed. And here is the proof, a comfortable position and a nice rest.

We ran out of Coca-cola

And so I needed to find a new mixer for the glass of vodka I had just poured. In the end I used the cooled bottle of Fanta Fruit Twist that was in the fridge, and it was very nice too.

Of course the Vodka is for purely medicinal purposes while I am suffering from the worse case of man flu since the last one. Whilst suffering the plague I tend to watch TV, the path of least resistance et al.

So I have reacquainted myself with Scrubs and later on, if I can't sleep I'll be watching F/X Murder By Illusion - I saw that years ago and thought it was good so I'll ruin the memory by watching it again later.

I may also watch the Mighty Boosch again so I can recite the dialogue when I actually watch it on Thursday... oh I wish I felt better.

Champagne on your Golden Grahams - The Boosch are back

and 'I'm steamin'

Check out the first episode on the BBC three website. Even, perhaps follow this link and it might just work.

Spelling test

My spelling is not the best, you only need to read this blog to find that out, however I enjoy writing and so perhaps I shall improve over time. In the meantime, while I am writing I often need to check things out with those nearby, hence this conversation:

'Is Charles Dance spelt D-A-N-S-E or D-A-N-C-E?'

There is a laugh, at my expense, before the reply.

'D-A-N-C-E'

'Thanks, is Danse Macabre, spelt D-A-N-C-E or D-A-N-S-E?'

Another laugh before,

'D-A-N-S-E'

'Thanks, is Strictly Come Dancing crap?'

Somethings don't need an answer.

Some issues with the BT Home Hub

I thought this may help one or two people and save a bit of time.

• To get our Home Hub working wirelessly we had to change the channel it was using from 1 to 11
• Sometimes Internet Explorer won't allow you to enter your password for the Home Hub, for some reason IE7 isn't very compatible with it. Use Firefox... as you should be anyway
• Make sure you are always able to connect to your Home Hub via the Ethernet port in order to fix things
• The BT engineers are very helpful and friendly and patient

If you have any issues, leave a comment and I may be able to help

Just when you thought the internet was safe

So our Wi-fi router is playing up - I think the firmware update failed - and now doesn't want to work. So my significant other calls the support team to sort things out. They tell her that the first step is to reset the router, hold down the reset button for about 30 seconds...

Hold on, don't they read my blog?

... so guess what I have to do when I get the time, and that is even before I sort out the actual issue.

It is at times like this when the tea tastes particularly cold, and perhaps even a little bitter. So at times like this I turn to a bottle of cola.

I've been a little busy

And it has been great. I think I have been hibernating for the past " 'kin years " as the policemen from the Young Ones once said. But now I am enjoying a kind of renaissance.

However, this morning I have a little headache, a headache that I haven't had for quite some time, and so, with my lovely tea I will be adding a vital ingredient... some paracetamol.

Last night I satyed up far too late, which is probably why I have the headache, that was due to needing to finish something at very short notice while keeping the family happy and watching Heroes. Each week it just gets better (only on series one so don't spoil anything please) with revelation after revelation, great.
