Packing Finished

I've packed almost everything. The only stuff that remains are things going to charity, a load of clothes and my kitchen stuff. I can't take all of my clothes with me as I have only one suitcase; I left my hold-all in Newbury the last time I went down. D'oh. Not that it matters, there isn't really room to safely put another bag in there as I need my rear view mirror and both my side windows clear.

Tomorrow I will have to check the tyre pressures before setting off. I suspect the car weighs rather a lot more than it did earlier.

It's weird, my room echos while I type now :-s

Amazing What You Can Find

...while packing. Earlier I found, in a notepad, a "TODO" list. It was from around the end of January 2004 I think:

I just love the fact that I managed to mix the mundane with the bizarre. The thing about The Bay relates to a drunken night out I had at some point. Something pissed me off in The Bay, but I really can't remember for the life of me what. I forgot all about it, and had no recollection what-so-ever of it the next day. Then about a week or two later, my phone started randomly beeping. It was an alarm I had set to go off as a "reminder" which said, quite simply, "The Bay discriminates against English people". Seems that in my drunken stupor I'd set a reminder to make sure I didn't forget about how The Bay discriminate.

The memories of being angry came flooding back. I can remember sitting in The Bay being pissed off about it, but I couldn't for the life of me remember what had happened that pissed me off. And, as this todo shows, I obviously wanted to try and find out. That item wasn't ticked, even to this day I still don't know how The Bay discriminate against English people...!

Also I love the way I jump from "do laundry" to "build artificial neural network"! Bit of a change of gear there! :)
