Octoberber's Journal
December's Journal



xx/11/2025
I still haven't quite decided what to do about this journal from next year. The fact that we're moving offices and I won't have an actual desk with an always on computer on it any more (although that only hosts the web cam, which doesn't update all that much as I forget to restart the thing after it gets rebooted), and how lax I am with updates does weigh on my mind. The web server that hosts the site might also be going away too, which would probably put paid to me bothering to bring it back somewhere else. Still to be determined...

November was a busy month here and there. Rel came back from east Africa towards then end of the first full week, so I headed to her place so we could be together as soon as she returned. Obviously we then ran a local half marathon on the weekend (nothing speedy) rather than, you know, relax and recuperate. We also took the Monday afterwards off to actually do so.

My mother managed to trip slightly and break her fall with the less than a year old television (better than the alternative), so I ordered them a replacement at the same time as they decided to bin their BT broadband and television package (which they were being fleeced for) and move to Virgin Media for both. So, a week or two later I headed to them and set everything up at the same time. Although the Virgin Media connection turned out to be unplugged at the street box end, so that didn't get activated for a few more days. Thankfully my mum turns out to be quite technically astute, so she was able to deal with the last bits of the setup/configuration.

At the very end of the month I was graced with a short but concentrated visit from one of my best men and long-time friend. We ended up in a local pub setting the world to rights both socially and work-wise (he's the team leader of one of our account managers for a product we use intensively in my job) and I don't think I've had a better day of socialising in quite some time. I do hope we get to do it again before too long has passed again.

And that closes out November, I think. Lots going on in December.
