If I have to remember another password I actually think I'll suffer some sort of hemorrhage. And all that will come out will be random numbers and letters.
I now have passwords to just about every area of my life now- business, pleasure, ANYTHING.
Bank - MY money!
Phone accounts
Facebook - friends
Twitter
itunes- music
Shopping accounts online
My website! My art is passworded?!?
Work - getting on for about 26 systems, door codes or passworded accounts now.
Next my friends are going to be passworded.
IMPORTANT information is being lost out of my brain on a DAILY basis by having to remember all these ridiculous passwords.
They're not even words anymore either- they have to have numbers in awkward places or they can't actually be an english word at all!!!! And THEN. THEN you have to re-bloody-create them after 30 days!!!!! I have to write them down. But you forget where you wrote them, or forget to update them when you ultimately have to reset your password that one time you lose your list of passwords. I even have a remember password thing on my computer, but I sometimes forget the password for that... YES, you read that right, I have a PASSWORDED password rememberer service. Oh. My. God. It's like one of the circles of hell.
It's becoming impossible. One day I swear I'll forget my own name and instead have to replace it with a highly secure password made up of between 8 and 10 alphanumerical chraracters ensuring at least 3 numbers equidistant from the start and end of the chosen strand, replaced every thirty days with a password NOT previously used in the past five months!!
If I ever become a multi millionaire I will employ someone full time to remember ALL my passwords.
Rant over.

PUNK-ture!
Franko had a puncture on Friday. It was a slow puncture and after having to call out the AA to fit the teeeeeney spare wheel I didn't even know I had- it became clear just what had caused it; a great big nail in Frankos tyre. Poor little Franko looked terribly pathetic with his tiny little spare wheel. It reminded me of Nemo's lucky fin.
Having no car, and being on a training course in Birmingham this week meant resorting to my old mode of commuting- Train! I've missed the train. I miss being able to read, people watch and listen to my own little soundtrack. I even miss my walks to and from the station even though I haven't missed the soaking wet clothes from walking in the rain. Having said that, I've also had to get a bus the last two days and I have to say it's one of the most DIRE experiences now, getting a bus. FULL of smelly, wierdo's and irritating children. The seats are dirty and damp, and there's ALWAYS an obligatory empty bottle or drinks can rolling around on the floor up and down the bus which no one wants to touch in case they get infected with disease. VILE.
After waiting for three days to get his special size tyre delivered (at a cost of £100!?!) I've finally got him back on the road. I bought him a lovely new cherry air freshener, a boot bag, and a nice car cover for the winter to protect him from the frost and snow, all for being good at the garage while he got fixed. :)
Welcome back Franko!!!

Oscar.
A few weeks ago, our family cat Oscar died.
Although he'd reached an age of about 13-16 years old (being a rescue cat we were always uncertain of his exact age), he seemed young at heart and in spirit. Within the space of a short week his health deteriorated and my sister, V and I had to take the decision to have him put to sleep. He was in pain and had been struggling to breathe properly for a few days and the two of us took the vets advice and had him put down. We travelled to the vets and I held him and said my goodbyes whie the vet delivered his injenction.
I still miss him. The house feels incomplete, and our remaining cat Pheobe is still a very much lost without him. She's become very needy and clingy since Oscar died, which could be a sign of stress or maybe even grief.
V and I have decided to purchase a small engraved stone for the back garden. Oscar loved sitting in the shade on a nice sunny day.

...then two come along at once.
We observed a two minutes silence at work today for the two fallen police officers who lost their lives serving Greater Manchester Police. That could have been any one of my colleagues; my friends. A very humbling thought.
I hope it's a reminder to the public and the government that a LOT of work and risk goes into keeping people safe.

The wonderful Mrs P, whose amazing wedding I attended just a few weeks ago, has put up a blog post which is still making me smile a good hour after reading it.
See post here- Wedding Wednesday: Top of the Cake Toppers
Needless to say, the whole little project, in which I was entrusted with the privilige of seeing outfits BEFORE the wedding!!!, was an absolute pleasure and all I hoped was that I captured the wonderful personalities of this lovely and perfect couple.
