Today in short...or not

[selenay]

Today I am mostly doing chore type stuff and college work, except for the time spent having coffee with historyterry this morning.

In the good news, my appointment at the hypermobility clinic will be 9th August at 10.30am. I have booked a day's holiday from work for it and I'm really hoping that my appointment doesn't get cancelled. This being the NHS, there is always that possibility. It's a Thursday so I'm thinking about booking the Friday off too as a long weekend. We'll see.

I also finally heard back from the insurance company about the accident a month ago - the third party has accepted liability (she rear-ended me, so I should darned well hope it was her liability!) and they are now going to start processing the refund of my excess. This also means that I can start shopping around for a new insurance company because my renewal is coming up and it's officially a woah quote. So, get better quote is one of those chores this weekend.

I have reformatted and partitioned my lovely new hard-drive, so I'm now transferring stuff into the great big general use drive (stuff that it won't kill me if it accidentally got deleted - videos, screencaps, music etc.) before setting up the backup into the other partition of really important data (photos, fiction etc.). And then I can start downloading stuff :-)

In discussion with T, I worked out that there are a few minor adjustments I need to make to the central character in A Sensible Man, but nothing too huge. Just accuracy stuff that thankfully doesn't totally ruin my overall plot. Yay me. So when I'm not choring or college-ing, I'll be working on that.

Wow, I really know how to live ;-)

In the bad news stuff, that frigging football match had better not go to extra time - BBC is planning to bump Doctor Who if it does and Sel Will Not Be Happy should she go without Doctor Who this weekend. Grrr.

Here's a link to the book I was talking about:

Thanks for the link, hon. That does look like a rather good book even I didn't need to have some ideas of the stuff for A Sensible Man. I may need to see whether the library has a copy :-)

I think it probably will have. They made it into a BBC serial about ten years ago. Good luck!
