All Points North

Hi my name is Chris. It’s been 11 days since my last post.

The last few weeks have been hectic and odd in equal measure. I’ve been spending nearly all day every day at the house. My Dad and I installed the kitchen in two days and now all we’re waiting for is the appliances and to install the sink. Oh yeah and all the other multitude of tiny jobs that entail finishing it off. Then we can begin on any one of the remaining six rooms that need renovating.

Progress on the house looked like it might come to a complete halt when two months worth of work came in. Turned out though that it was two days worth of work. What they needed was a secretary not a writer. So that ended that. They didn’t have the good grace or professionalism to tell me to my face but hey that’s Harrogate for you. So back to square one and a bit on the work front.

Working alone is still a bit weird for me as it gets a bit lonely and boring. Getting an email takes on a whole new significance and can really make the day that little bit more enjoyable. Just the tiniest bit of human interaction (even if it is digital) makes all the difference.

So with a lot less money coming in than I thought I did what all normal people do and went shopping. I managed to get an original Mac with original carry case off eBay for the miniscule sum of £100. All I need now is the operating system though I fear that may be a little difficult to come by.

And don’t believe the FUD, the iPhone will sell like fake LSD outside a high school disco. i.e. the people buying it won’t care what’s in it, what it’s capable of, what effect it will have or that it’s overpriced it’s just the thing to have.
