life to normal?

[lobelia321]

Life may (may!) be going back to some semblance of 'normal' but this is not guaranteed...

After having applied for a managerial position (and not got it) and moving house and going to London to witness t'h get a medal from the German ambassador and giving a talk at t'local museum and giving a talk at t'Royal Academy and flying to Munich to witness t'h get a prize from the German federal president and staying in a totally posh rich people's hotel with spa and women with lapdogs and people like Franz Kafka and Lou Reed and Daniel Craig on their guest list...

... it may now be back to a routine of unpacking boxes, being amazed at our new location after the move and worrying about the future of university education in t'UK.

P.S. Also: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY USERPICS????? What evil thing has LJ done while I was not looking????

I used to have 70 and now I have 7!!!!

Hello there!

To answer your question about userpics, you're a Basic account and can only have up to 15 userpics (if you purchase extra userpic spaces, otherwise it's a maximum of 6). I'm guessing that you had 70 while you were still a paid account user and that maybe while you were busy your upgrade came to an end? It's possible that buying a paid account again may restore your 70 icons, provided your userpic extension didn't run out. If it ran out then you either need to buy extra userpics for your basic account, or get a paid account with extra userpics.

My account info said I had paid up. I rummaged round in my emails and found an email telling me that my automatic payment had failed. Argh. So the pics were zapped!!

Wow, congrats for the medal, and the prize! (I hope it was monetary! :P)

What is your husband's job?! :O

worrying about the future of university education in t'UK.

I worry about the future of secondary education in GR, but I've concluded it's hopeless to worry: things are bound to get worse.

Have you settled in the new house and neighborhood yet?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

The prize was prestige plus money, yes. ;-)

T'h is t'historian.

Not 100 % settled in yet but the house is fantastic! The neighbourhood is right in the centre of town so it's quite heady.

I like this: don't worry, it's getting crappier. Whee.

Wow, that's all so busy and exciting! How's the new house?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

The new house is fantastic! Needs tweaking (doors don't close; heating is not very strong) but is fantastic! Right in the centre of town.

When do we do Remedios Varo??

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, life has filled up rather - when are you free? I am working weekdays, although I am actually off this week, but that's a bit short notice. Otherwise, any weekends look likely? I'm in a concert on sat 27th in the afternoon, and the weekend after that there may be a family thing but it's not confirmed yet, but it won't be all weekend. Then I've got another concert and a party the evening of December 11th. Er... Hm.

This Sat, 13 Nov?

Next Sat, 20 Nov?

Sat 4 Dec?

Sat 11 Dec?

Sun 12 Dec = end of the exhibition!!!

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Do you want to do this Saturday then? If so I will look up trains.

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Except that is tomorrow now, so maybe not. I can do the 20th or the 4th?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Ack, must reply earlier. I initially thought tomorrow would be good but we are still in boxes and this is first weekend in new house so am a bit overwhelmed by idea of going away for most of the day. Let's do the 4th! Cutting it fine, I know. But 27th I have Open Day and on 20th going to Ikea to buy stuff for t'house.

Let's pencil this in with a fat pencil!!!! My mobile and landline = same. New address via IM.

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Just realised I agreed to do something on the 4th, but quite honestly I'd rather go to Norwich, so I'll get out of it. So let's say that's settled via pencil unless we decide otherwise. :) We'll sort details nearer the event.
