Today's mood: :-/


Back to work today after yesterday's spewy fun. I didn't manage to accomplish much though - just a lot of sitting around coughing and spluttering and feeling sorry for myself. Felt completely out of it, to be honest and retrospect should probably have spent another day in bed.

Actually, I only did a half day because I didn't get in until about lunchtime, but that was the deal when I spoke with Jon in the morning. Went home on time though - nothing like being ill to improve your timekeeping! I am so so so so bored here.

I wrote to a flying school in Montpellier (in French, no less, albeit with a little correction from Lyssa) to find out whether I could do my PPL in the south of France rather than Orlando. That would give me the opportunity to improve my French and learn to fly at the same time, although I'd need Anglophone instructors because I don't think I'm up to the science of aviation in French, somehow. July or August, that's set for. I don't know whether the France people do an all-inclusive (ie accommodation) thing or not. I'll find out if they reply.

Picked up my DVD player from Alan and Karen's on my way home - something I could've done with yesterday when I was feeling sorry for myself - and duly set it up so I could watch things again. In the end, I watched M_at's copy of "Cruel Intentions" which was quite good fun. It had the added bonus of Ryan Phillipe's bottom in the pool scene, so all in all it was a good evening on the sofa.

Little else of any interest. Ate more chicken soup and some of the remaining cake Jon brought round yesterday. Chatted with Marcus and arranged lunch in a few weeks.

NASDAQ still wibbly. AMD performing nicely. Redhat reports one day this week; hopefully good news.
