The life and times of Chris Jones

I have a week off on the week of the sixth. I am currently at a loss at what I should do. If I stick around the house for a week, sleeping patterns are bound to become mental and days and nights will merge and become a single blur I shall Christen either Dight or Nay.

So, I’ll need summat to do. If the weather keeps up like it has for the past three days, then I may want to go camping somewhere. Somewhere further away than I’ve ever been. I’d probably go alone, as there’s nobody I know who’d alsobeup for a pointless camping journey. I’m currently thinking either Scotland or Cornwall.

I have finally updated the WordPress software here, which means that the nasty error I was recieving with the tables has gone away. It also allows me to write on WordPress through the iphone, as I am now doing. Pretty nifty, seeing as 3G coverage in my town is excellent.

I still haven’t had my cars offending parts from the recall replaced, as I be lazy. I recently celebrated my birthday in town with workmates, and remember little. I’ve also been driving further than I used to. Last week it was randomly Cardiff. I wonder where to next? The UK is my oyster!

Just a quick test of the built in camera function of the WordPress application. Also pretty nifty.

I recieved a letter today from Vauxhall that states my car is being recalled as there is a fault with my specific engine model that could possibly cause oil to “self-ignite”. Dangerous.

No worries though, as the rectification is free! My only question is how did Vauxhall know I own it? Certainly the previous owner would have been given the letter?

It’s all them ramblers fault. They keep parking their obnoxiously large 4x4s, complete with pointlessly towed trailer in the small parking spaces on the side of the roads, where I usually park to find some photographic locations. Not only that, but GWYNEDD COUNTY COUNCIL ARE BASTARDS WHEN IT COMES TO PARKING FEES. They can charge obscene prices, such as £7.50 a day. The SNPA aren’t much better – £4.50 for a day, even when there’s a free car park down the road.

What are they trying to do? I mean, people are going to park somewhere. To the side of the road, with most of them. There aren’t any traffic wardens in rural locales, so people find it easy to park on double yellow lines. I spent 20 minutes navigating through Beddgelert, a small village that should only take two minutes to drive through, just because of these people, and oncoming vehicles challenging the priority. As a result of this, no photos.
