couple of things

1. it is raining, apparently there is another typhoon coming - what is up with the weather?
2. Julian (big, golf playing brother) was made redundant this week - bad news but you still haven't told me what you want for your birthday
3. we had a magnitude 4 (out of 7) earthquake this morning, big enough to make me worried that the cupboard was going to fall over
4. have finished assignment number one - now I just have to rewrite it in line with suggestions made by the tutor. nearly done with it, only 3 more and a dissertation to go.
5. did you speak like a pirate yesterday...?
