I have just had some terrible news. One of my classmates died today. A mature student she started her LLB at the same time as I did and she would have been graduating this year in the normal coarse of events.
Some of the most enjoyable hours during my LLB were spent in her company. She bought me MANY cawfees. I once wrote her a bibliography. It was a heck of a bibliography, but she was a heck of a gal.

We had breakfast in bed today - steak n' eggs n' toast, juice, cawfee and pills.
We're just back from doing the shopping. Loadsa food and a gas lift chair. Susan did the shopping, and I went in to the Uni and did a wee bit of work. It is moist and haarish.
We has a lil' squioil in the garden last night - grey, not red - eating da boidies' nuts. We watched it for ages. It was more entertaining that the wholly antisocial Miah, and one takes one's jollies where one finds them.
I have spent some time today filling in funding application forms. Hummus and pitta for tea. Susan will get pate. Oh! and some salad,
This is a good podcast link:

Demme! I bought a CD yesterday - a 2CD set, a Neal Morse solo album, featuring Mike Portnoy (prog rock. Modern prog) http://www.nealmorse.com/discography.asp?n=testimony . So I pay £9 and take it home, and find that it is all Holy Joe kakky religious pablum. Well, maybe it is all Holy Joe &c &c, cos', but I canna say for certain cos' I hinna listened to it yet. The sleeve notes and lyrics tell the story. Still, I suppose that I should give it a listen. I mean, I don't want to be accused of being prejudiced and small-minded - it might be good Holy Joe kakky religious pablum.... but still, I think that religious-themed CDs should carry some sort of warning sticker; I will be really ticked off if god has gypped me out of nine poonds.

Demme Scottish Parly...
Posted May 7, 2007
Enacting all these demme statutes, totally changing Scots land law and making me do LOADS of work for my Gloag & Henderson revision. LOADS of work. I listened to Rusalka on phones - a late 40's Dresden recording, in German. First rate sound and performances, VERY Wagner. Oh! and I managed to adjust my chair so that it wasn't a penance.
Apparently I am getting good reviews from my Revenue Law tutees.
Pork chops for tea, cooked with apples, mustard, cumin, soy sauce, lemon juice, pepper, paprika, plus a tomato n' garlic sauce and cous cous, and maybe some pitta to mop it all up with.
DLS' LPW Busman's Honeymoon on R7 listen again. Excellent.
It was warm today, but intermittently overcast, and it is now raining.
I have taken to wearing a suit to the Uni.
Let it be noted that I have not listened to TA for over a week now. No withdrawals yet.

PS. MARTINE! Commiserations.

Excitement
Posted May 6, 2007
Breakfast. The Saiturday bale Part II. Harrassed into the shower then into a set of clothes. The International Market on Union Street. Fopp (least said...) Cawfee. The Sunday shopping. Dealing with the Sunday shopping. Gardening. A BIG salad. An artichoke - a lot of bother for little reward. Took the cat out. Fed the birdies. A glass of sherry. A film? Yes, a film - Last Man Standing. Sarko. Bed.

PS. The new Parly will work. An Executive will get formed. The next few years may even be dull but, hopefully, productive in an unspectacular though dilligent way. Independence will not dominate all political discussion, but it won't go away either. I hope that such discourse as there is on the issue isn't conducted according to message board rules of debate. I heard someone slating the internet and blog culture on Broadcasting House this morning. He had a point.
