Today's pic.
I've been feeling knackered the last few days. Not ill, just permanently tired. I figured it might be down to not drinking enough water (2 litres of liquid a day!) and got a bottle of water for work. I do feel a bit better than yesterday. I just have to remember to maintain the water intake.

I did a bit of reading whilst I was away-
Tear Gas and Ticket Touts All about a guy's attempts to see England play in teh World Cup. I'm not really interested in football, and I just can't see how anyone can get so worked up about it, but the tales of Police prejudice and witch-hunting newspapers struck a chord.
White Spider The author of Seven Years in Tibet was also partof the first team to climb the North Face of the Eiger. Here he relates the history of all the attempts on the face up until 1965. A catalogue of endurance and disaster, including some horrendous deaths- those who fell off the cliff were the lucky ones. Slightly stilted, possibly in the translation, and heavy on the facts, but gripping none the less.
Non-Stop A small band dares to travel out of their village and into their claustrophobic world, where if you walk for several days in a straight line you'll get back to where you started, to discover its secrets.
I'm currently reading Look to Windward.

Pictures for the 23rd and, seeing as it's almost midnight, 24th of January.
My Internet connection's been playing up, and my printer. Bad technology day.

Yesterday's pic, and today's.
I'm stuck in append hell, trying to get data off a server in another part of the country and wondering why 95% of the records won't write to my table.
Gah!

Today's pic.
I'm scanning in the layouts I did for Bulletproof Poets, and should be posting them soon.
Now that Ten Years Asleep is finished, and because it's a new year and all that, I think a site redesign is in the offing. I quite like the current layout, so the changes shouldn't be too drastic, just colour scheme and stuff.
