Yet again, I find myself writing with less than an hour of the day left, with the minutes clocking down towards the point where actually I've not succeeded in completing a post for the day. You'd think that someone whose normal finishing time in the office is 16:00 and with a villa not 5 minutes from that office, might manage to come up with an assortment of words before midnight on a reasonably reliable basis. This is never quite how it pans out though...

  1. I don't always get out of the office until later than intended - today was around 16:45
  2. I spend some time talking to AM about our respective days
  3. I catch up with the personal email
  4. I'll sit on the sofa with AM and, as happened this evening, we both doze off for a good half hour or so, arms wrapped around each other
  5. then tea has to be made, though I'd be lying if I said I do much of it, though I am capable of it, as AM often reminds me
  6. whilst tea is being prepared, I'm trying to do a test install of a piece of open source software on my LAMP server
  7. we eat, whilst watching Sky Sports News
  8. I'll do a drink
  9. Inevitably I'll end up watching CSI with AM, though it seems the most ridiculously signposted stuff imaginable
  10. It's now 21:00 and I make my escape
  11. I'm back at the PC doing the same install on the new webspace for the forum I'm doing some tech admin stuff for - it works
  12. Now I'm doing an FTP download from the old webspace...
  13. ...and then uploading the file into the new space
  14. AM heads off to bed
  15. A tap on the study window tells me I have a visitor - he wants to drop something off with me before he flies back to the UK, and we chat about work for half an hour
  16. It's now 23:00 and I've not written, I've not been for a walk, I've not explained to the forum owner what I've been up to

Finally I start this post and I've not a clue what my topic should be - did nothing of note happen today? I'm sure it must have, but it all passed me by in a blur of near frantic effort somewhere along the line. I know, I'll do a list, lists are always a safe bet...

I often have to make the choice: to blog or to stay on the sofa chlling out The Man. At the end of the day, it’s important to remember our priorities. ;-)
