17 weeks to go - James Brown and Interstellar




It's raining. When I woke up this morning (for the 4th time - last night I got caught up in Interstellar so the snooze option had to work overtime to get me vertical today) I heard a disturbing sound. However it was not the jingle-jangle of a thousand lost souls but the tiny tap tap of a thousand rain drops on the rubber bush leaves.

   Rain is usually overdue in these parts and much like snow in England, is received with excitement and writing things on twitter. It should help to clean the contaminated air for a few hours so now's the time to breathe heavily.

   Much has been tackled on the Finnish front. Flying with the dog seems to be prohibitively expensive so it looks like I'll send her over first to be received by Skinny Girl and then I'll take a thirty-hour budget flight via Panama and the Dominican Republic with the cat. That reminds me, I must take them both to the vet ASAP.

   I've also spent many rather frustrating hours trying to update my CV. I can only presume that all computers have a pre-programmed bug which deliberately stops at least one sentence from lining up correctly with the others on the CV 'wizard'. Bloody wizard wouldn't last five minutes in middle-earth grumble grumble.  In the end I got it to look mostly right and told myself that I wouldn't want to work in a company that gives any weight to such trivialities anyway.

Help me with my c.v. Gandalf. 


   So. lots to do. Buy a dog kennel, buy flights, buy a new keyboard because everytime I need a comma I have to push the button three times. Moreover, like a panicked father expecting a child, I've put myself down for a lot of work so time is rather scant which in turn means it's passing more quickly and then I have less time to do everything. Yoiks! Perhaps some books will fall off my bookshelf soon and I'll realise that my father has travelled through time in order to communicate with me and help me create a crazy upside-down world in which we all get to Finland OK.

Ooh! Good thunder!

Back to work.
