I meet a lot of people who I would be very happy to enjoy a sexual encounter with, exploring and playing.

I meet a few people who I would gladly open my heart to, wanting to know more about them and wanting to openly share my feelings and dreams with.

I meet a very few people who are amazing friends, who I'll do almost anything for.


I'm glad there are some people who are in a couple of these sets, and maybe one or two in all three.

Not exactly, not-using LJ ATM. Instead I tend to post more often on twitter where I am, of course, @aegidian.

I do still post here, but it's mostly the place I come to for posting whinges about the less-good parts of my life. There's some fun stuff in the memories if you care to look, and I won't rule out writing more later.

Since I don't use this much, and I don't welcome abusive anonymous comments. I'm switching this to friends only and no longer posting here.

Follow me on twitter or facebook if you will.

BB.

Rather pleased with this shot. So I said thank you.

(C) BBC WHEN???

I just watched this on iplayer, then 'sploded when I saw the final credit. What BBC captions/titles editor wrote that?!

I am a grumpy curmudgeon today.

Tyrrell, you've come a long, long way.

it is easier to clean a cat in a bidet than in a shower.

Yay me!

I have replaced a spoke in my rear wheel. Not as easy as it sounds.

The wheel had to be removed, stripped of tyre, tube and rim strip, then the broken spoke had to be wiggled out. I stuck all the bits of it in some paper to take to the bike shop.

There I bought a tool to remove the gear sprockets from the shimano cassette, and a chain whip to hold it while I did so, a new spoke spanner, rim-tape, and two shiny new spokes and nipples. The shop in question is the Bicycle Shack on Ruckholt Road, for any east Londoners wanting a recommendation.

Disengaging the cassette locking ring took more effort than I have strength, so I used a c-clamp to move the tools necessary until they loosened. Then off with the sprockets, thread the new spoke through and weave it into place. Screw on a new nipple, then tighten it up. Then I had to true the rim, I haven't done this for twenty years. But after a quarter of an hour, spinning and fiddling it was running true. Rim-tape, tube and tyre were replaced. Wheel back on bike, bike back on street, Giles back on bike. Huzzah!


Then I bought lunch, made lunch, ate lunch.


And then I expanded my computer's consciousness by slotting in an extra Gig of memory.


So I'd say today has been a productive day.


I'll cook a curry tonight.
