21.08.2007 – Tuesday 21 August – Raining

Morning

• It was a nice, sunny morning. I had already been forced to get up by Bronwen getting up, but had gone back to bed. I was again forced to leave the warmth of my bed by the rubbish truck, and the realisation that I had forgotten to put the rubbish out, for the second time in a row. I rushed the three wheelie-bins down to the next road, where the truck hasn’t yet been, and accidentally woke myself up. I then tried to fix Lucienne’s laptop. It has a stupid backup application that’s filled the hard drive with backups that it can’t delete because there isn’t enough space for it to delete them, despite there being 7 GB free space, and I can’t access the files, or even reset their permissions, because it’s XP Home.

Afternoon

• Despite being nice and sunny, it began to rain, and soon clouded over. I drove to UQ, past several accidents, picked up Stella, drove to Maz’s work and picked him up, dropped Stella at her uni, and Maz at Umart, before returning to Toowong with Maz and eating nachos for lunch.
