Glass Half Empty

So, I've been moved in for a bit over a week now, in theory, and I've unpacked .. some things. By the gods, do I have a lot of stuff. I've gone from a room and a half to a house and I'm still having trouble finding spaces in which to put everything. But, so it goes. If I unpack a box every so often, it'll get sorted out eventually.

I'm due to start work on Monday, and all the details for that are sorted out now. I still need to finish servicing my bicycle for the commute, but that's a couple of hours' work, and will probably be done on Saturday morning. Then I just have to find the route...

Not a lot to say here, really, but thought I should just put up a "things still happening" post. Money is tight, as expected after just moving house, but all the major bills are taken care of and I'm (barely) solvent this month. Once I'm actually being paid again, and Brighton Uni get that last pay-cheque to me, everything should be just fine.

For now, well, I guess it's cheese sandwiches for me :)

Having the river and Stourbridge Common thirty seconds' walk from my door is a lovely thing, though. I'll try and get some pictures at some point, and post them here. Realisation of the day, though: rowing skiffs have head- and tail-lights, and they appear to be exactly the same models as used on bicycles - horizontal lines of LEDs, powered by two AAA batteries per unit. It's odd, and interesting, to see the same design reused in a way I'd never have expected.

The glass: half-full
