Over the weekend I made a bit of an effort to get the spare room sorted. I’ve cleared quite a bit of space in there now, but there’s still a lot to do. It doesn’t help that there’s no furniture for the whole room anyway.
I think a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, and some sort of sofa bed would be a good idea for that room. There’s quite a lot of potential in there, but it’s not being used for anything but a store room at the moment.
My train was cancelled again this morning (twice in 3 days) so I had to walk from the bus station instead of the train station. This allowed me to take a bit of a shortcut by the castle.
On the way I passed by this statue of Robin Hood which is right beside the castle. I thought it’d be a good oppourtunity to take a picture I won’t get that many chances to take without going out of my way. 🙂
I cross this bridge on my way to work in the mornings. I decided it looked quite nice in the mist, so I took a picture. The ducks are posing quite well, but I hadn’t noticed the cyclist going across the bridge. Oh well.
My train was cancelled in the morning, so I had to catch a bus. I picked up a feedback form and I want my bus fare back. It’s only £3, but I have already bought a season ticket for the train for £84.50, so I don’t particularly want to be any more out-of-pocket.
It was a lovely start to the week!
That’s probably the most sausages I’ve ever had congregated together in a house at one time, including barbecue days!
We got shopping delivered to us on Saturday. I decided to go ahead and buy 10 bottles of Pepsi because it was on offer, and I didn’t have to carry them. It amazes me how quickly I will get through them all. Perhaps I should consider drinking something else…
This picture was going to be of my lovely cheese toasties that I made, but I ate them without thinking about it. So here’s the plate they were on. 🙂
I’ve done a bit more work on FoxyHistory. Part of the database interaction is asynchronous now. It should slightly reduce lag when typing in the address bar. When I get runInBatchMode implemented it may well decrease it a lot more. I’m also contemplating changing the deletion triggers if all else fails.
I think the code is all contained in my own scope now. Just two outward facing variables with my own domain in them. Should pass the test. 🙂
Today I finally achieved my platinum trophy on Burnout. You get it for collecting all of the other trophies in the standard game (before addons). I’m very pleased that I finally managed it.
Now I can focus on Mirror’s Edge again. I think that one might actually take less time, but be more difficult. It’s a less-involved game. It’ll be much more frustrating though. Sometimes I want to throw the controller at a wall. I got that feeling in Burnout today at a few points, actually.
I’m quite far ahead of Len in trophies at the moment, and I’m quickly catching up with Rik. I think I’ll probably take a break from all the gaming for a bit though. I have spent a huge amount of time on it recently.
Lizz ordered some haggis along with our shopping. 😀 It arrived today and so I invited Dave over to have some with me. I assume they advertised it prominently and stocked it because tomorrow is Burns Night. 🙂
It was a lot smaller than I imagined, although it did grow considerably while cooking.
I didn’t really like it very much. It was a bit like regular stuffing, with a hint of sewage or something. Blah.
Only 8 things remaining on the list now! It’s getting tough to check them off now. Oh well.
