3 Sep 2008 (Wednesday) 

I'm back home again now. Sort of wishing I'd taken a longer break, really. All the random irritances can - generally - be forgotten when I'm away. The only things that can bother me is me, and whilst I'm pretty good at that, at least I know that it's only my fault.

2 Sep 2008 (Tuesday) 

We went to Whitby today. Had chips and got a little wet in the rain. Julian dropped me an SMS to say he was in Reading if I wanted to meet up, whilst I was having my chips . A little difficult to get there to see him.

I was in the shower this morning, lamenting the fact that I don't get to do anything at all low level any more. There's no chip initialisations, no memory map organisation, no speed optimisation of critical interrupt code, no management of diagnostic interfaces... and all in all my job's pretty dull in the stuff that I've been doing in the last few months. Not that it's not all necessary and that, but it's just not all that interesting really.

My dreams have been confusing and upsetting recently but tonight's is strange. I was back at university and getting into arguments with people over trivial things. I wanted to go chat to someone and I knew Chris was coming to town for something so I invited him to go to the cinema to see a film. Unfortunately I realised that he was having to leave as it was a Tuesday and he had to get back to work on Wednesday and I never even got to see him. I went back through the Uni and there was lots of very loud music on and people dancing and I just wanted to get back to my home. As I was going back I saw Simon heading back to the house, so I called to him and he ignored me. We went back to the house and there were some of Simon's friends there and he went to talk to them and I just went and sat outside. Hannah came out a little while later and thanked me for her 'congratulations' card I'd sent here a while back and which I didn't remember in the slightest. She talked to me about some of the stuff that was worrying me. And then I woken up.

It's about 6:15 now and I'm going to try to get back to sleep.

Claire's been singing to herself and can't get out of her head 'Tomorrow' from the musical 'Annie'. I don't actually know it, the only 'Tomorrow' I know is Tomorrow, from The Best Of, by James.

We went to the sea-side today. All five of us on the beach, and Bethany went in the sea with Justin, and Claire and I played with Alex. It was really sunny, too. It was all very nice.

Oh, and we watched Solaris this evening. Wow that was slow.
