Catching up...

I've been meaning to update for a while, but haven't managed it for various reasons. I've been fairly busy since I got back from Canberra. And we're coming into forward work planning season at work, followed in fairly short order by performance review season, so it's not going to get much quieter.

Also my enter key is not working again. It is just this box for posting entries - it's fine in other applications, or even commenting in other people's entries. WTF LJ? I might have to start posting solely from LiveWriter (or my phone!).

Since I got back from Canberra I have been struggling with side effects from the 'flu shot, mostly in the way of pain in my arm and shoulder. I suspect that having a sore arm, and favouring said arm, whilst having a bad neck/shoulders generally, with a side order of carrying luggage and a body full of inflammatory factors (thanks, wacky immune system!), led to some actual injury of my AC (acromio-clavicular - bet you didn't know you had one of those - I didn't until I googled 'shoulder pain' and thought 'that's exactly the thing I am feeling') joint. One of the things with AC joint damage is it hurts worse to lie on the injured side, and of course, this is the side I sleep on, so it led to not a lot of sleep as well.

We had a fairly quiet Easter, which nevertheless seemed to involve quite a lot of doing stuff on my part, partly because Andy has been sick with a bad cold, and partly because we got up on Good Friday morning to discover that a bottle of milk had been leaking inside the fridge, which led to me deciding the fridge needed to be cleaned out (there is something about our fridge and beetroot - I swear I could put an unopened tin of beetroot in our fridge and somehow the juice would still leak out all over the place). I also did an awful lot of cooking (we decide we weren't going to do a big Easter dinner, but just an afternoon tea, and still I made two cakes). I would post recipes/pictures, but they would not work well without a functional enter key. Maybe next time.

I have been playing a nifty little game called From Dust which is (okay so now I can't get the Italics to go off - apologies if the rest of this looks wierd). The game is a puzzle/god game with an unusual premise. However the PC version has a bug which basically makes a certain level about 2/3rds of the way through all but impossible to solve. This has been known for a while (to judge from the age of the forum complaints about it) but the makers have not seen fit to fix it. Thanks guys.

Edited to add: Ha! the enter key works in the html editor!
