lenina is feeling restless

I’ve been feeling restless this week, and quite agitated. I think it’s to do with the fact that I haven’t had any exercise since I got my new car, and now it’s catching up with me. I’m quite highly strung anyway, and always full of thoughts (too many!), analysing things, and generally overly productive (I [...]

How to Buy Alloy Wheels

Image via Wikipedia
I have to buy ‘alloy wheels‘ for my new car, as the wheels and tyres the seller had put on basically don’t fit. The reason I’m putting ‘alloy wheels’ into quotes is that I absolutely have no knowledge of the discourse on cars, so when I first heard of alloy wheels I had [...]

Car News

Tonight, my friend A. is going to come and take a look at my car. He has a mobile thingy to raise the car (not sure what it’s called) and hopefully he’ll be able to fix whatever is loose (if it is something loose that’s causing the rattling, that is…).

I’m too busy so…

I’m really behind with my blogging. Soon it’s the week-end, so I can catch up!

Wrk = Zuckerbrot und Peitsche

My work is just turning into a right old Zuckerbrot und Peitsche - experience. Not that someone in authority would give me Z+P - it’s more my experience of work right now. I still really enjoy it, but as usual am taking far too much on and am given loads of things I shouldn’t be [...]

Summer in Scotland

Summer in Scotland consists of:

rain (just drizzle if you’re lucky)
wind (as in: really windy!)

Tomorrow is July, which worries me slightly, as it means ’summer’ is now in full swing. I never look forward to the cold, dark months - but as of tomorrow, we’re in the second half of year and thus past the point [...]
