Administrivia

Heavily updated my personal website, especially the Recommended Reading section. In the process discovered the website of sculptor/printmaker Bill Woodrow which I encourage everyone to visit!

Health

Urgh! Hayfever. Never had it until I spent an (otherwise wonderful) summer cutting grass for my local council. Thought that I'd missed it this year, but over the past 48hrs it's kicked in with a vengeance, leaving me with a raspy nasal voice and a constant irritating sniff! Had physiotherapy on my broken arm this morning - its feeling OK, gaining strength and mobility, and seems to be doing well in terms of recovery. I've felt very frustrated hacking-wise because of the slowness of my typing, but today's web-bashing seems to have gone well - maybe I'll mess around a bit with Gtkdial tomorrow.

Life

Hmm...feel like I've alienated all my friends with constantly needing practical help, and then even more insistently apologising for the same thing. Still, hope appears to travel in waves, and there are as many (if not more) ups than downs right now.
