random giddering about recent activities

Well thought it was hi time I posted something again. My war with the ants continues apace, the major problem is they don't apear bright enough to spot something that'll kill them. I often have a glass of water by the bed at night, woke up the other morning to find 50-100 ants had climbed into said glass and drowned - SO glad I didn't reach for a drink in the night!!!I have been wilting in the heat as have the office plants I purchaced last week :( I have the reverse of green fingers, plants left in my care die quickly.A week or so ago I went to a conference in holland v.interesting conference but I didn't get a chance to see much of utricht, trying to draw a certain amount of inthusiasm from the conference and work seems to be almost working - fingers crossed simulation results bear some passing resemblance with real life.Everyone I know is moving house at the mo so next weekend I am helping move a friend to guildford, being careful not to stuff up back. Should be good, may mean there are more people arround to socialise with/ have the odd pint with.Spent saturday under a tree reading harry potter and sunday walked out to a nice pub in shalford called the seahorse, had a pork pie ploughmans and walked home, not the most eventful way to spend a weekend but pleasent.
