Yesterday was a straight run from whenever I got into work - so busy, I didn't even get time to see the time - until eight last night. Today, I'm going to be here until nine, but at least I know it today and can pace myself a bit.

While I was waiting for a Dart this morning, I saw an orange intercity train going the other way, with brown leaves tumbling off it and blowing alongside. It looked really, really cool - nothing you could draw, you'd have to capture the motion to have the feeling of it.

A euro is only sixty-two pence sterling today...

I have suddenly decided that I want steak and kidney pie. I have no idea where this came from, unless it's connected with the feeling of autumn and the vague desire for beef stew. Mmm, stew. Might try making some on Sunday.

OK, glad that's over. A 12-hour working day, all of it intense coding, no breaks, except for about ten minutes when I went to get some air. And the last bit was frantic, because several chunks of code needed to be got up instantly, left on the servers for an hour, and then taken down, and the connection to where the servers are in Canada is not as fast as it might be. But the boss paid my taxi fare home, and was pleased with the overall effect, so it's good. I'm knackered, slightly headachy, in need of sleep, and some kind of food - not hungry, but want some particular taste. And my view of reality seems to be about 10 degrees out of its normal line, in what seems to be the w axis or thereabouts. I was convinced for some minutes there that I had to feed the stoats. I think I might have seen the word stoat sometime today...
