Lazy minou

Had an absolutely lovely weekend. Jez and Dez came over on Friday evening along with Alex and we played parts unknown which I'd never played before but turned out to be kinda cool as all Cheapass Games seem to. I even didn't come last which is good - normally the combination of alcohol, tea, tiredness and a new game leads me to have not a great amount of success until right at the end but today I managed.

Then on Saturday we did nothing. Absolutely nothing. It was blissful. We didn't even wake up and turn on the radio til midday. Then we lazed around the whole day in bed and then I got up to pick up a few things from Tescos and cook stroganoff. Then we sat around and watched Buffy which was fun although 'The Body' did spoil the mood a bit! I was surprised to discover that it hadn't been spoilered for Alex and so it came as an actual shock to him.

Sunday we went into the city to break in Alex's employee discount card in Blackwells which was fun. I'm going to have to do some serious Christmas shopping in there! We then went for pizza at Pizza Express which was rather nice. I was going to do some more Christmas shopping but couldn't really get inspired so I went home to do a bit of gardening (I've planted crocuses me :) ) and then have a chat with my parents - always fun. Then I made the mistake of settling down with one of the Dick Francis' books I'd bought. A bath and a snack later I discovered that I was now too comfortable and lazy to go out so I skipped OUSFG and finished both Dick Francis' - so decadent.

All in all, just what I needed.

Tired minou

Bum. Despite all that rest at the weekend I still managed to wake up at the wrong moment or something and so I'm still feeling fairly tired today. Boo hiss.

Microsoft

Are very annoying indeed. Particularly Project and Project Central. Grrr. I hate them. I've finally narrowed down the problem I'm having connecting up the web server and the file server to the permissions on the generic access account which (even more annoyingly) I can't set myself. I need to try and get the man from Sec Ops to understand what the problem is so that he can go in and fix it for me. Never a fun way to spend an afternoon. What I need is a hug. A big huge one.

And more willpower. I seem to be unable to actually stick to my diet at the moment. I wonder if its because I'm more tired so I'm more likely to give into things. Could be. Unfortunately there's not a lot I can do about that at the moment. The company claim they're ordering me a laptop and ISDN line but this is seeming more and more unlikely as both have so far failed to materialize. Bastards.
