Caroline Resurfaces........
Posted Jul 18, 2001
Well. I've been away for a bit again.
I have been busy relocating myself to Greater Manchester for a new job and a new life in sunny Englandshire....
At the moment I am still in a state of culture shock and for the first time in my life I appear to be suffering from homsickness of a sort. I'm missing Edinburgh, but hey ho, I'm sure I'll get to grips with being down here shortly. Feel a bit like I'm living in exile at the moment. I'm probably going to be unbearable to be around for a while. so if you're in the Manchester area and spot an irate Scottish female demanding long vodkas ('I don't care if you don't know how to make one, I demand a long vodka') or, at the very least swigging iron bru in a corner, looking sullen and complaining about the quality of the regional television - please don't hit her with a big stick, she'll soon calm down

So.
Posted Apr 30, 2001
Here we are post BBC and all my previous journal entreis have vanished off the face of the planet. You will just have to take my word for it that they were all terribly intellegent and erudite.Still, it doesn't matter much any more. THe majority of my random daily witterings appear on my own website (link above) so if you really wan't to subject yourself to my inane ramblings about what I had for my breakfast, that's the place to be.

Strange goings on in St Louis, Missouri
Posted Aug 7, 2000
My friend Sharon recently upped-sticks and left Aberdeen to live and work in St Louis, Missouri for three years. Her adventure so far has been a catalogue of dissasters - lost luggage, potentially lethal gas leak in new appartment no hot water and temperatures f 880 degrees plus, fruitless attempts to communicate what a 'ruck-sack' is to an unhelpful and wooden american airport worker - that kind of thing.
By far her biggest problem so far, however, has been the total lack of furnature in her new apartment. The other day she discovered that a women in he apartment block was leaving and getting rid of her furnature. Hurrah, thought Sharon. Until she got a very large and cumbersom (but very nice) desk stuck half way in the door. It has gone in but now it won't come out again. It would seem that this phenomenon is not limited to sofas as the last I heard she was clambering over the thing to get in and out of the appartment. She also has a slight problem with vertigo from sleeping more than three inches above the floor on a proper bed.
If anyone out there is from St Louis she has declared a wish to marry anyone remotley friendly - I think that may just be the hysteria talking 'though.

Hooked
Posted Jun 20, 2000
My lunch hour forays into creating a website have got me totally hooked. My homepage is finally starting to look like a proper site now. I've always been a bit techno-illiterate but there's so much STUFF out there on the web to help me do it that I seem to be managing regardless. It may not be the most animated site on the web but there's a lot of information about me and I suppose that's the whole point really. I've just added a guestbook, so we'll see how that pans out.
I like to think it's starting to look quite stylish now and I notice that the new skin for h2g2 uses a remarkably similar colour scheme
At last! I'm fashionable!
