I hate my portfolio
it's time consuming, boring and I'm not learning anything from doing it other than to hate little boxes that are too small to type legibly in.

On the plus side, I've found a workaround that means I can type it up with all references in the right place without having to cut and paste everything and write references by hand.

/shit Sunday please

Becky,
I understand most of that...except why are you typing up your portfolio? For what?

We had a cat rescued from a tree in our back garden this afternoon. And we've had curry. And daughter is staying over an extra evening.

Things are good :)

Who rescued the cat?

Today I went into Zone Four on the tube! I needed oxygen and Kendall mint cake, but it was all good.

But here's my most exciting news - I got a new guitar yesterday and I LOVE it! LOVE!

Pics or it didn't happen Clenders :)
It's part of my qualification for work. I think the portfolio accounts for 40% of it and the rest is practical assessments and exams. They don't use regular academic referencing which I'm used to, so all references go in the margin on the left, so as soon as I add something else to that line it's all skewiff which is fucking me off.

It was just a guy with a ladder. I looked out back this morning and there was a large, black unidentifiable ball of fluff at the top of the tree.

We gave it a couple of hours to get down itself... in the meantime a chap knocked on the for door asking if he could go get it down.

That's about as exciting as it gets round here :)

I'm taking a break from sorting out stuff I'm going to sell on ebay. It's proving to be harder than I thought as I happen to like quite a lot of my clothes.

I don't think I'll ever be one. I've no intention of joining the mafia and I'm about as opposed to religion as one can be without murdering people.

Good on ya mate. Must say I'm pleased for you.

I've often wondered what I'd do if I ever fell in love with a girl who's family were really religious (Jewish and Catholic always spring to mind) and would want me to go through the motions of joining their religion before I married their daughter.

I'm not sure I could ever feel strongly enough about somebody not to give their family the finger and tell them to sit on it and swivel. Of course I'd only do that once it became clear that no amount of reasoned discussion would convince them that I can be a moral, upstanding young gentleman without needing an imaginary friend.

Sorry about that tangent.
