Latest diary entries
Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
It appears I'm getting worse at remembering to write diary entries. Over the past 9 years I have written 1287 entries, which averages about 12 a month, but due to work and procrastination that has dropped way off over the past year, and I'm barely managing 1 a month now. I have several draft posts half-written, just need to finish them, and get back into the flow of delivering you the minutia of my everyday life. Anyway, I expect you are all desperate for news of my eyes, so I will get on with it.

As you may have noticed, I've been remarkably silent here so far this year. This is due in part to moving random comments onto twitter rather than expanding them into longer diary posts as I did in the past - I've got a couple of posts to make about things I've twittered about recently, so hopefully this won't be the only post in May.
But mostly I've been quiet because I've been up to a lot. We're trying to buy a house; I've cooked a couple of excellent puddings (must update the recipes ...
