After two long weeks, I am finally enjoying my new baby. Everything is working great and it looks so nice. I should have bought it a long time ago. I like the fact that it is very quiet, I need to get used to the qwerty keyboard. I will also have to buy a french […]

New Laptop!
Filed Under Daily | 2 Comments
Finally it has arrived. Everything is running smoothly and looks very pretty. It will take few hours before it can connect to the internet due to the University’s setup. It is lighter than my old Asus. The screen is very bright and provides real life colors so it seems faded compared to the Asus’ flashy […]

Tryfan

Tryfan is the name of the peak we climbed last Sunday in Wales near Snowdon. It was very hard but it is one of my favorite sport activity. Since I was born I always liked climbing trees and rocks like a little chimp. So I did it very well. I doubt the rest of the […]

I went to Wales Hiking with some of my friends, Dave E, Dave M, Iris and Ruth. The climbing was hard and treacherous but I managed to get all the way to the top an hour before the rest of the group. Dave M was very upset because he was worried. He made two bad […]

Scotland Deal!

Thanks to Dave M’s efforts, looks like the trip to Scotland is finalized: Dave M: “Shall we book this cottage for 375 (02/05-09/05)? Between 3 £125 each, if we get 5 (which would still allow Pierre his own room) it’ll be £75 each (maybe exact amounts adjusted according to who stays in bunk room)” Cottage […]

Anxiously Waiting!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
No Dell computer yet! It is very confusing this tracking system with automated generated dates that are wrong and automated calls to ask you when you want it. In the old system, they only call you if they are delivering the next day. I had a very short night because I was very excited about […]

I’ve Missed iT!

I thought about it for many days and I managed to miss the big day: “March 27 2008”. A full year has passed since I left Australia. I miss its eternal blue sky that I replaced with dreadful clouds above my head in Dublin and now in Manchester. Nothing else to regret besides the weather! […]

Someone With Guts!

Finally someone insisted at the pool to have one extra lane and he managed to get it! It was so crowded this morning. I was waiting at the bus stop yesterday when one old fart tried to start a stupid chat. The old prick asked me if I was muslim, where I was,.. etc. In […]

FAST
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I was really fast today. I had a great sleep and I was unstoppable at the pool this morning. If I can maintain this pace over several days, I would actually increase my level by one little notch. It is nice to swim on Monday because most of the time it is less crowded than […]

Strange Week!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
My Asus died on Wednesday Morning! Sad, very sad event! I am glad my Compaq still works. It could be even worse otherwise On Thursday evening, there was a shoplifter at Superdrug store. I witnessed the whole event. A young black woman was leaving the store when the detector alarm went off forcing her to […]
