Hey ninny nonny noo, with eggs in the hair (and Mary Queen of Scots in the scullery, of course). What a lovely pair of galoshes you are wearing, Alice. Can I send you an Easter Card next Christmas - perchance the seven of diamonds?

Got a pile of books off the book man who visits work, Penguin Modern Classics including 'Cold Comfort Farm', an Evelyn Waugh, a Jerome K Jerome, some Oscar Wilde, Kingsley Amis 'Lucky Jim' and a few more. Decent stuff for a fiver.

To summarise my Monday, and the trip I made up north to one of the other of the company's sites in order to give my equivalent at that location a hand... journey there and back wasn't too bad and I don't feel I made too much of a prick of myself whilst being driven there by my colleague, the site is a lot bigger and newer than where I work, I was able (I think) to help out quite a lot and put the new guy in the right direction, I was reassured that I am doing OK (compared to the state that other sites' quality management is in, in places), and it was a pleasant change of scene.

Tonight's footy had a few results which I'd say I was quite happy with. Apart from Chelsea coming back from 1-0 down at Sunderland to win 3-1, Middlesboro' won 2-0 away at Scunthorpe (and move into second in the division), Wolves won 1-0 at Wigan, and Arsenal won 2-0 at Celtic in the Champs Legue qualifier.

Bit scratchy with some of my dealings with people at work. A lot of it is actually derived from dissatisfaction with myself and my personality, and hence lashing out at people. I had colleagues calling me a smartarse today, and.. well.. there's nowt wrong with being right :-)

LISTENING TO:- I ripped some of my old CDs to the computer - in partic a couple of Roadrunner Records compilations, including a shedload of stuff by Type O Negative, Sepultura, Coal Chamber, Life of Agony, Fear Factory and others. Was ace to have a nostalge, plus I was chatting to one of my office mates and she used to like a bit of thrash/goth years back when she was seeing a metaller bloke..

Anywhore, I best get myself abedwards - I kept dropping off into micro sleeps on the train home, hence I think that's my body telling me I need a little more kip.
