Oh noes!

My poor bro has, at the tender age of 26, gone down with Chicken Pox.  There's nothing I can do about it, of course - Mum is away on holiday, but his g/f is staying the week, so she's soothing his fevered brow and dabbing on the camomile lotion!  Actually, he sounded better on the phone today that he has for the last few: he went down with a fever on Friday, then broke out in the rash last night.  So it was off to the doctor's this morning for him.  With a bit of luck, taking a few days off uni will sort him out and let it run its course.  I hope so, and so does he, cos he has a couple of final projects due, and an exam next week!  Still, he was going to call his tutor and see what could be sorted out.

Poor M!

Things I have learned today

• Don't wear those particular shoes in wet weather.  The right one leaks at the toe.  Ewwwwwwwww.  *squelch* :-(


• The lady I had an interview for a course with today is married to my fave science teacher from school!  Hi Mr P!


• The phone and the doorbell will both ring five minutes before you have to leave the house for an appointment, and neither will be things you can put off.


• Cap sleeves (knit from the bottom up) have an enormous cast-on edge.  HUGE!  Which makes perfect sense when you actually think about it.


• The cat will only get squarely in the camera shot when you're trying to take a photo of something else entirely.


• When you make changes to the rss feed template of your Movable Type blog, then rebuild that template, it results in all the posts liek evah turning up again on the LJ Feed for said blog and therefore cluttering friendslists.  Many apologies to the three people that were affected!  I shall try not to do it again, but I might, because I'm not sure I'm quite happy with it yet *hides*.
