Today is Sunday, but if I didn't know it was Sunday, I would definitely think it wasn't. Today has been full of things that don't happen or don't happen often.

For example we went to Ashwood for food. This experience is one that harks back to my childhood, when we didn't realise that being carted along to a garden centre for lunch wasn't exactly cool. Nowadays if the Mother cannot be bothered with the hassle of Sunday lunch and Grandma still is due to come over we once again resort to Ashwood Nurseries.

There is one draw to eating at the nurseries, which is that they only employ waitresses, and I'm fairly sure whoever does the employing is male and has a good sense of taste in regards to the picking (on the whole). It is the one true saving grace of a place where the size of the drinks are too small and the portions of lamb not quite big enough. The last time I saw anyone the same age as me but not clearing away the dirty plates was probably around the time people used to use the words 'Street Cred'. Garden centres really don't do that much for 'Steet Cred'.

Later I washed my bike - a necessary task as it hasn't shifted from it's position in the garage in well over two years. I doused the whole thing in water and fairy liquid, and tried to scrape away the layers of grime to the best of my ability. After my first attempt I discovered all I had done was to liberally wet the top of the grime, and so tried again, this time with a bit more gusto. The bike looks fairly sparkly now. Following the aesthetic aspects I thought some air in the tyres might be appropriate as riding on vacuums isn't much fun. There was literally nothing in either tube and I think both may have punctures (a long standing injury that I never attended to). As I finished up oiling it, Nick arrived and so I haven't even sat on it yet.

The afternoon was spent sorting out the last of StudentXtra stuff before I go off to Ireland. I had thought that Nick was due tomorrow, but clearly something got lost in translation and we sorted things out today. Busy, busy, busy. Midway we took a break for some athletics (Nick knows Kemal Thompson) and food, then it was back on with stuff until about 9.30pm when we called it quits.

Also today is the day the servers switched on this site. That means mass inconsistencies, things going wrong, panic and anarchy, me having to rewrite half the scripts for my pages (why isn't there unilateral implementation of ASP components? Grrr) etc etc. Thankfully the people here have been ditched. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

TV was crap tonight. Why can't they put something decent on?
