I was back in England for only two months, and now I am no longer in that country. I am in Wales, house-hunting, and planning to start work on Thursday.

It seems somehow glorious and amusing to watch the raindrops, after previously living in a city with years and years of drought.

I went to the London Girl Geeks 4th Anniversary Dinner at Channel 4, and listened to speakers, such as Maggie Philbin (from Tomorrow's World) talk about technology as candy, and pink laptops, and then ate cupcakes that shimmered.

I've strangely been logging onto Monochrome BBS a bit more than usual, after seeing a number of people I met there (when I was in England.) I realised I missed Mono meets.

I watched Nick read a book on the Fourth Plinth, in Trafalgar Square, as part of Antony Gormley's One & Other. I felt voyeuristic watching a friend reading, much more so than if I had watched reality TV.

I went to the Techniquest Science Discovery Centre in Wrexham last week, and my shadow was captured, temporarily. I also made DNA out of plastic beads, read about female astronomers, and played with the plasma ball.

I saw Douglas Coupland in London last week, talking about typography. I am still not sure what my favourite font is though.

I read Generation A and realised that it has been at least 15 years since I first read Generation X and my life is made up of more stories now than it was then. The stories don't always have the weirdest storylines and I wish more of them had happy endings, but they are there, I have stories to tell, I have had adventures. I should write about them one day.

'There's a moment in life where you can't recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else's kisses.' - 2 Days in Paris

I showed
wintrmute, who I had last seen in Melbourne, around Eynsford, and we walked through a field that had recently been plowed, and it reminded me of the moon, as it was so grey. We hugged and it was then that I missed Melbourne. I still am amazed that the Dutch moon rock was fake.

I've been reading about augmented reality (via City of Sound):
Soundwalk for Android phones and LEDs in contact lenses.
