Well, the financial situation lastnight is still very much in a state of what non-physics types often call "flux". It appears (and thanks to my very nice landlord, Dr L for letting me know about this) that my bank was paying my rent twice a month, instead of just once. Why they took it upon themselves to do this is a little beyond me, but I have the feeling that it's probably got something to do with someone hitting F12 when they should have hit F11, mis-hit 2 when it should've been 1, etc.

The upshot of the whole situation was that I was half-a-grand to the bad, which Dr L kindly amended. I still have yet to find the source of the problem, but it'll need to be found'n'fixed before next month. Particularly as I'm off to New Mekhiko on the 28^th of this one, and don't much fancy being stranded up a hill in the desert with no food or money.

In other news, the Ganch came over last Wednesday for a wee collaborative visit. Which meant I got to eat out in one of my favourite places in Guildford: Wagamama! I'm a simple man, so sit me at a bench with some cracking Chinese/Japanese food in front of me, and someone to talk shite to, and I'm a very happy camper. The RAS meeting that we both were attending was dutifully followed by a visit to the classic Soho Spice on the Wardour Street (off of the O'Neills HQ). And much thanks to Neilo for providing directions to Soho Spice from Leicester Square, despite the fact that he was on holiday in Barcelona, himself and stupot enjoying 20° CELSIUS, while we were enjoying something similar in Fahrenheit. Gits.
