Week in the rear view mirror
Stuff’s been going on, I just haven’t been blogging.
I spent 35 hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday writing a specification. It came to 30+ pages. At one point it had me totally curled up with stress. Louise gave me Bach’s Rescue Remedy, which managed to unknot me enough so that I could finish.
The Powerbook was nearly delivered on Thursday, but they couldn’t get in. The removal of the sticky may have been to blame. Grrr. I could have gone and got it yesterday morning, but nobody answered the phone and I didn’t know the address. It will come tomorrow. Joy.
Instead, Louise and I went to a farmer’s market in a car park in Notting Hill. It was pretty cool. All the food looked great and everybody was really friendly. We bought a bunch of stuff, including goose eggs, which were immense. I bought some braising steak, which I’m currently stewing. Man, it smells fantastic. I bought some black radishes which are going in as well. There’s also some potatoes, carrots, shallots and some of the Thyme I’ve been growing in there.
I’ve chilled a lot this weekend. I really wanted to kick back. I’ve got to do some work now, but that’s OK. I read the last issue of Wired which contains some really interesting stuff about concepts of space: network space, dump space, blog space, sex space, 30 spaces in total.
Also, Louise and I went to Kensington today and looked at furniture in a wonderfully couply way (2 years and counting :-). I saw a cool soft cube for £30 that I could sit on the balcony on. Also, desk bits in Habitat. I’m thinking of building a desk out of some leg bits and a chunk of glass. I want to move into the front room because at the moment I sit in a hall with no windows, whilst the sun shines in the next room. Plus I sit in a different room from my speakers. Ack! Anyway, a plan is germinating.
Oh yeah, last night I saw Seven for the first time! Sorry everyone. I won’t do a review, ‘cos everybody’s seen it. Suffice to say I really enjoyed it.
