It's the adjustment from the weekend and working in a sweat box. Did lots of work as I'm headed for a hugely complicated couple of weeks. Travelling to festivals, Z's birthday and a trip to High Wycombe all with hardly any days to do a mountain of work.

I'm feeling under the weather and irked by my mistakes, sometimes i wonder why i open my mouth when most of the time my factual knowledge is totally amiss. At which point i end up looking incompetent as usual. No idea why I'm feeling so low though - I've not even had any excesses i think perhaps I'm coming down from the last few festivals.

Whatever on a low ebb, but i decided to blog every day when i have access to a PC so that's what i have to do. Bought Zel's pressie tho and trying to work out how the heck i can fit in Muse!

Just remembered to re-fill the CO2 chamber and Jack and Sally the gouramis are still going strong.

What's going on with Andy van der Meyde? Seems he's been spiked in a bar in Scouseland - yeah right he had a beer too many i reckon. Shame i like players who get plastered. Hope he's okay tho - sure they'll give him some decent drugs in hospital!

The good news is there's an ISO downgrader for 2.6 for my PSP - so i can go and lots of games when I have more time. Fancy having a go on Field Commander and rthis:

Thou I'm patiently waiting for Kingdom Hearts 2.

The possibilites are endless in science news at the moment as they've been able to reverse evolution in rats. Lympstone Marine college has been doing the same with humans for years!

Oh and panda cam has been showing baby's 1st birthday - that's cheered me up. ;)

More good local news Marcel is on the side of the Romanys and adding weight to a proper traveller site for them:

Cllr Choules said it was time to provide land for travellers. "I received several calls from people who are understandably upset about this camp," he said. "The police have been to speak to these gipsies, but there is little they or I can do while no proper gipsy sites exist.

"This is the middle of what I call gipsy season and while Devon County Council does not provide legitimate traveller sites, it will continue to happen year in year out." Those camped on the site were last night sitting around campfires and planning visits to beach resorts in the next few days.

Describing themselves as Romany gipsies, they said they would try not to intimidate park users. Peter Jones, 45, said they had been forced to set up an illegal camp. "Even though we're natives of this country, our culture and our needs are not catered for," he said. "In the Second World War our people, our fathers and grandfathers, fought for this country. We have no problems with other cultures coming into this country but they seem to be catered for while we are not.

"We teach our children old-fashioned traditions like hunting and fishing and living off the land. "Gipsy sites around the country have been shut down or are being run badly, so we are forced onto sites like this." He said they planned to stay at the riverside park for around two days. "Our dogs are tied up and we don't mean any harm to anyone coming through here," Mr Jones said.

Possibly I'll be a bit nicer to Marcel next time I see him. ;)
