Greg's world of the weird

I blame the bias towards US geography...

It will prompt you if you haven't seen the first (and if you haven't... WHY NOT?)

Very cleverly done!

Wow, last post I made was on the 6th!

Work is scarily busy, and this week is progressing at a mental pace. It's running like this:
Monday: New NLP course, get in around 11.
Tuesday: Stay late a work, in around 9
Wednesday: Last lesson of Birmingham Adult Education NLP course.
Thursday: Muay Thai (yay for making arms feel all achy and weak!)
Friday: Birmingham Gay and Lesbian Ball, 30 of my fellow colleagues and partners/friends etc are going to represent Freshwinds at the ball. It's going to be a) expensive b) an opportunity to take photos so I can blackmail staff, or make them squirm c) a fun-filled night of entertainment d) all of the above!
Get in around 2am. Just a tad busy this week!

Lose an hour of sleep Saturday night :-( But things will settle down to 2 nights out each week (with lighter evenings... woo!)

In other news...
Fridge has a flaw, it's getting overzealous with the refrigeration. Coleslaw and orange juice has frozen solid despite the thermostat being set to low. Hmmmm....

Goddamnit, those Japanese people and their origami skills.

Once you learn how to do this, you'll never go back to the "old method".

I have been slowly building up gregrobson.co.uk into something half-decent. For those who wish to subscribe to its content through the LJ syndicated feed system: add the following to your friends list.

The content is mostly self-development based, with some more "thoughtful" thoughts going in there with some tech and philosophy type stuff thrown in for good measure. Some photo galleries go up their as well. Currently only 4 subscribers (and 1 on bloglines), but it's early days yet as the webstats testify to :-)

In other news...
**dong** Work is very busy, we have lots of volunteers coming on board: it's all good, but very, very busy.
**dong** I have decided to sell my laptop after almost three years of faithful service... I just don't use it enough any more to justify keeping it and the money would be useful.
**dong** Despite not getting any Valentine's today, I am extremely happy to acknowledge that the people that I interact with in my life all have a positive influence and that without them I would be a poorer man. THANK YOU.

...snow!

The End.

Well yes, we had the obvious part, snow and gridlock. Apart from that, I left work at 3:30 and ventured through Canon Hill Park (which was deserted... I found this very strange considering nobody was at school!) and managed to get a bus into town to have most delicious Hot Chocolate with Caramel and Whipped Cream :-) Came back by train, which was good as they were quite reliable. It was there I met Corinne! (I always seem to meet people I know at New Street!)

Then after getting home: Snowman Building!!! This was very good with only a few snowballs being thrown.

Some selected pictures of the last two days of snow over at my website!

I am quite tired now and have no plans for tomorrow... I intend to sleep in after a long week at work :-)

Don't know why but I have developed a sense of apathy over the past few hours.

I can't be bothered to do anything... tagging MP3s, tidying my room and drinking Twinings Hot Chocolate are my only achievements despite having lots of things to do or complete.

Strange. Can't even be bothered to play any music.

Just as forecast: SNOW!!!

We closed work at 2:00pm as there wasn't much point staying open in case the weather worsened. So I am now at home and contemplating a walk up to Cannon Hill Park. Got some photos of Bournville already, so some more wouldn't go amiss.

All forecasts seem to point to snow somewhere between 7 and noon tomorrow! They are so certain that Dudley have closed their schools without even seeing a single flake.

Whilst this is good news for most, it may mean that I am one of the few people who will make it into work tomorrow! Oh well!

...is going to be busy for sure. Lots planned to be done.

I have done some initial work on planning my first holiday of the year (to the Peak District), it's going to take some advance preparation though.

Health is fine, money is okay (why food costs so much is beyond me!), work is "brisk" to say the least. Apart from that, not much to report!
